retro love suede

{Free People Retro Love Suede Dress (also here, other colours here);

Theory Leenda B Sweater (budget-friendlier one here)}

{Jeffrey Campbell Cors Suede Peep Toe Bootie (comes in 7 colours!)}

Happy Friday!  I just came on the blog and saw my Instagram previews are not showing and it says 'Internal Server Error' instead.  Ha.  Immediately thought of Mr. Robot.  That show is SO good, I'm obsessed.  I'm also obsessing over today's #OOTD, especially this Free People suede dress.  I know, another Free People item, but I swear I did not know it was a Free People dress when I first came across it.  It was love at first sight.  I just love the colour.  And I love how Shopbop styled it with a sweater underneath.  I get inspiration for outfits from a lot of places, but when I don't know quite how to style a particular item, or I want to style it in different ways, I just Google the item and it usually comes up in different places (i.e., this dress is being sold at Free People, Shopbop and Revolve) and each site styles it in their own way.  Free People is the best site for outfit inspo.  I love their lookbooks, but I especially love their FP Me section where you can see the item styled by regular people, not just the top 1% of the top 1% (bloggers).  (Sorry, Mr. Robot is taking over my life.)  Until it cools down here I would wear this dress on its own with my favourite Jeffrey Campbell suede booties.  I would go with either the taupe, shown above, or black.  I have the pink ones, but they would be too matchy-matchy.  Over-the-knee boots would look great in the fall.  Add a cardigan and voila.  How would you style this dress?

#OOTD / dream shirt and mini skirt

Happy Friday!  I'm really loving these types of shirts right now - easy, breezy.  It's similar to this Spell Folk Town blouse I wore a few months ago (new style of that blouse here).  I'd be all over buying this top (and the new Spell one because I basically want to own everything Spell) but it's way too hot here, even in the evening.  Anything long sleeve is a no-go.  But I see fall styles already starting to trickle in (depressing, I know) and this is what I picture for when it starts cooling down a bit here.  I've been on the hunt for the perfect denim mini skirt, ideally in a light colour since I bought a darker denim skirt (but A-line) last season.  I'm just avoiding skirts right now because of the whole thighs sticking together in this heat thing.  I picture this outfit with these See by Chloe denim platform sandals, which I've been obsessing over.  I had pre-ordered them a while ago but they won't be available until end of August so I cancelled them because I am too impatient.  But they're now available here!

#OOTD / lemonade

Happy Fri-yay!  Well, lemonade is a little popular lately, but I've always loved my brights so when I saw this yellow top at J.Crew I fell in love instantly.  It being an off-the-shoulder top is a bonus.  For those a little scared of brights, you can always go with a nude sandal.  But I like to pair brights with brights so I paired this yellow top with these adorable pom-pom sandals, which is also a huge trend.  I kept the bag more neutral and added a choker, since that is my go-to necklace this season.  This outfit can take you to the beach (just kick off the sandals before trying to walk in the sand) to brunch.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  And remember to turn those lemons into lemonade ha.  Also, because it's pretty hot out there.

#OOTD / Coachella

Happy Friday!  Keeping the festival vibe going with today's #OOTD.  I've never been to Coachella but have always wanted to go.  I love a good romper and you can't go wrong with denim.  Easy to throw on and go.  A backpack would be the best bag to carry your stuff in since you want your hands free.  The Erlina sandal by Schutz is one of the most comfortable sandals ever and you definitely want that walking around all day.  I prefer a kimono over a jacket because they're so lightweight but they're great for evenings for a little cover up.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
