I just read on Cool Hunting about an awesome exhibit that is coming to the International Center of Photography. The showcase will be the most comprehensive exploration to date of Avedon’s fashion photography during his extensive career at Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, The New Yorker, and beyond. It will run from May 15th to September 6th. I will so be there. How exciting, I can’t wait!
My friend Jackie from the cool blog, Some Notes on Napkins, was twittering about this article New York magazine did yesterday. Curious, I went and clicked on the link. Right off the bat, I loved his sunglasses, his multiple layers of black, and how his scarf drapes so incredibly low. Loving his style. Read more about Martin Cohn, here. SPxx

I have been holding on to this photo for some time now because of how much it intrigues me. I love everything about it. The the model, her structed blouse and baggy pleated pants, her hair, the way her foot is blurred…I could go on. Anyway, I just felt like sharing it with you all. And, my apologies, I can’t remember where I grabbed it from. So, if anyone knows, please tell me so I can give the site/photographer proper recognition. Thanks! SPxx
How is it only Monday and yet I am already thinking about what I am going to wear this weekend? It is supposed to rain for the next few days and then by Saturday it should be in the 70s. I have a fun beach party to go to and want a cute hat to wear. And, with my new bangs, I think a rockin’ pork pie hat would be just the ticket.

Happy Monday friends! Isn’t this outfit so fresh and fun? It is safe to say, she’s done it again. She being my very talented and stylish friend, Jessica of the blog, What I Wore, who put together this very awesome outfit. I love the colors of the blouse, not to mention the high-waisted jeans. I love how she pulls it all together with a bright white belt and very cool white woven sandals. I wish I owned this outfit. Needless to say I am super inspired to create my own version of an early 80s ensemble.
First off, I want to say thank you for your positive feedback regarding my new do! I am having a lot of fun with it and can style it all different ways. It looks cute brushed forward, to the side and even pinned back with a bobby pin.
Anyway, I mentioned earlier that I did a little photo shoot at Chelsea Piers. Well, here it is! The reason for it is my friend Hattie, founder of the company, Save the Date(ing), is throwing an awesome singles dating event tonight at this cool gallery in Chelsea and I needed to figure out what to wear. Hattie suggested we have a little fun and photograph my chosen outfit. I immediately opted for this red number, which is my favorite and is from Anthropologie.
I also wanted to show how you can easily dress up or dress down an outfit just by changing your accessories. So, you’ll see two different looks…one more casual and one more dressy. I decided to wear this white blazer with black flats to give the bright red dress a more casual look and then slip on some nude patent leather pumps to “chic it up” a bit. Anyway, the event is tonight at 7, and will be a tasting of single malts. Yum! So stay tuned for my report back on how it went, and if I met any cuties!

Saturday was my dear friend N’s birthday party and the theme was 1970’s. I am loving N’s dress—doesn’t she look so pretty on her special day? Even though we didn’t exactly go all out with costumes, we did opt for bright, loud florals and bold prints. In a rush to find something to wear, I skimmed F21 earlier in the day and found this dress for only $25, which is now my new favorite spring/summer maxi. To rev up the 70’s vibe, I wore lots of gold bracelets and rings, parted my hair down the middle, slipped into a pair of wooden platforms and I was ready to roll. All in all, a really fun party! What did you all do this weekend? Do tell! I would love to know! SPxx
