current obsession: LBD

{Marc by Marc Jacobs Dempsey Drill Dress: marcjacobs.com}

I have a couple of little black dresses in my closet, a couple I have had for a long time.  Black is just not a colour I'm drawn to (unlike, I believe, 99% of the population).  But this dress is perfection.  The leather sleeves, the fit, the detailing... I would wear this dress to work, which I'm returning to in September (*pauses to cry*) and out for drinks, which I think is the point of an LBD.  But the two dresses (that I can think of) in my closet are a bit too fancy for work, so I think it's time for a new LBD.  Plus, I need something to cheer me up about returning to work after being on maternity leave.

When it comes to polka dots, I'm like a moth to a flame.  This is my second Dolce Vita polka dot romper (other seen here) and third polka dot romper overall (a black MBMJ one with white polka dots, which I bought years ago and am still obsessed with).  I don't know if you would consider this a problem at this point, but if I see another polka dot romper, there's a good chance I will be buying it.

floral jumpsuit

Lately I've been living in rompers, overalls... especially in this heat.  I'm also obsessed with florals, so I instantly fell in love when I saw this floral jumpsuit.  I love the easiness of it.  No jewellery required with a print like this.  Perfect for a heat wave.

4-in-1

I love a maxi dress, but this dress can be worn 4 different ways so it's extra special.  (For the price, you're basically getting the dress for around $15!)  I love putting a sweater over top of a maxi dress, basically turning the dress into a skirt for a new look, but this one can be turned into a skirt and you can wear a sweater tucked into it.  Or a tank.  It's definitely going to be a recurring piece in my closet this summer.

wild kisses

This is the second top that I bought recently with lips on it.  Who can resist a kiss, let alone a wild one?  I discovered Maison Scotch just a little while ago and now am a big fan.  I love the leopard touch to this t-shirt so, of course, paired it with these amazing Matiko leopard wedges since I seem to be matchy-matchy with my outfits these days.  I used to buy a lot of t-shirts, specifically Marc by Marc Jacobs ones, but they would just sit in my drawer because usually when I get home from work I immediately put on my pjs and weekends I usually dress up.  Now that I'm on mat leave, I've been wearing a lot more casual clothes, which is nice for a change.

I'm lazy when it comes to my hair, especially in the summer.  I usually let it air dry, but my hair is partially wavy and has a mind of its own so I put it up most of the time.  So when I saw these Marc by Marc Jacobs head wraps, I knew I had to have one.  The colours are beautiful.  You can wear them so many different ways and look put together, even if you just tossed your hair up into a bun.  I'll probably pick up the 'shocking orange' colour too.

It was my birthday on Friday and I would not feel right in any other colour than pink!  This Free People dress is so beautiful.  I thought about pairing it with white wedges, nude wedges... but I thought since it was my birthday, I'd go all out and wear head-to-toe pink and pretend I was a princess.  (Plus, these Marc by Marc Jacobs wedges are adorable!)  It was the perfect dress, the perfect weather, the perfect day.  Definitely felt like a princess.
