The Row

I'm really excited about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fall 2011 from 'The Row.' 

Read the full story on Vogue's website.

Holes and Lace

Lace is sexy, and sultry for summer. White hot.

Reminds me of a beach sweater my Mom used to have. I want one.
Free People, $98

Mellow yellow lingerie-looking piece. I love it. I'm also loving it paired with white shorts.

Planet Blue, $270

White hot shorts again. This looks southern to me, therefore I love it. 

Planet Blue, $182

I like the shorts more than the top. They're both good though.
Free People, $98

 

White is my favorite 'color.'
ASOS, $276.98

If I don't get a pair soon I may die a slow, unfashionable death.
SINGER22, $159

I'm going to be purchasing quite a bit of lace this summer to incorporate into my wardrobe, making sure to choose pieces that I can spruce up for fall. I've even found some lace bikinis that I'm quite excited about!
