The Pique Popover

One can never have too many classic white shirts and I am loving the new Pique Popover by Claridge + King. This is not the first post that I have done on their great collection and it probably won't be the last. I can't wait to wear it with my favorite skinny jeans and boots this weekend! Love it with that leather mini too!

From Mexico With Love

Nothing says summer like a beautiful hand embroidered blouse . My new favorite is by Mi Golondrina. This gorgeous collection of hand embroidered tops, dresses and nightgowns designed by Cristina Lynch was inspired by her Mexican heritage and the beautiful hand embroidery of craftswomen in small Mexican villages. Each piece is lovingly hand crafted by local women in Oaxaca. I recently ordered the white blouse with multi colored embroidery featured below and it's certainly more beautiful than I could have imagined!

The Most Perfect Boutique Ever

I think I have found the most perfect boutique ever. Unfortunately it is exactly 334 miles from my house (maybe better for the bank account)!  Ann Mashburn in Atlanta is what you get when a former Vogue fashion assistant, Glamour editor and J Crew stylist opens her own store. Between a business trip for my husband and a lacrosse game for my son I have gotten to visit this little jewel twice within the last 6 months. First of all it's just a beautiful store. Crisp white walls and seagrass rugs provide the perfect backdrop for the classic and timeless pieces found here. I love, love my lavender and white seersucker Daisy Tail Shirt that I picked up on my first trip. You can totally rock this preppy top with a pair of skinny jeans and ankle boots!  If you're a huge K Jacques fan like me you will find a great selection here. I'm also in love with their brown suede Chelsea Ankle Boots. Definitely a splurge but also an investment. I could go on and on - Saint James striped tops, Liberty Print Track shorts, leather cuffs and this white leather shift dress.

Luckily if you can't get to Atlanta anytime soon you can shop away on the website which offers free shipping on all US web orders. I've got my eye on the Ann Mashburn Tulip Top in black grosgrain. Ann's darling daughter was wearing it in the store on my last visit with dark skinny jeans and flats and it was adorable! The well dressed guys in your life can also shop at Sid Mashburn. Though I'm sure they don't want to admit it, my husband and son are pretty smitten.

The Denim Skirt

I can't possibly be a blogger if I post once every few months. I will try to be more inspired! When something catches my attention though I must write! I did not expect these to be on the radar anytime soon but then again the fashion gods like to keep us on our toes. Denim skirts are back and the best I've seen are faded, distressed and fall just above-the-knee. I found some great street style pics that I think nail this look perfectly. Enjoy!

Move Over Lululemon

I am absolutely loving Fabletics, the new line of athletic apparel co-founded by Kate Hudson! I couldn't imagine that the quality could possibly be so good for the price but I am quite impressed. I recently ordered the Lima Capri in camo and the Eureka long sleeve top in black. I can't wait to place my next order!!

This crazy freezing weather has me dreaming of bikinis, flip flops and tunics! Go figure. I guess starting my summer wishlist will have to suffice for now.
