Pretty, Polished, Perfect.

Rules Of The Game.

Fall is in the air (even though today's high is in the upper 90s - Fahrenheit for any of the metric readers.) So yes, I am trying to squeeze in the last of my summer colors, including yellow.

Dress: Suzi Chin (via Saks Off Fifth)

Necklace: Forever21 (similar here)

Belt: Forever21

Bracelet: Derng + Banana Republic Factory

Shoes: Daisy Fuentes (via Kohls)

About that rule. The rule about white? When I was young girl, there were rules. And you did not break them. There were also monstrous shoulder pads and pleated pants a-plenty. Ah memories.

Regardless of whether the monarchs of fashion have done away with the rule, it seems that as the seasons start to change (however subtly,) my choices of daily outfits naturally gravitate towards fall colors. It also helps that magazines, blogs and retail stores are fully advertising the fall collections. I've already pulled my boyfriend jeans out of their summer resting place. My cardigans and jackets are front and center in my closet now. And I can't remember for the life of me where I put those darn white pants!

p.s. Kansas City Fashion Week starts exactly one week from today. There is too much information for me to give you in one post, let alone the p.s., so go visit their site for information and to buy. those. tickets. You wont' be disappointed, trust me!

p.p.s. And the winners of the JUNIEblake giveaway are......... Shelley Z and Sabrina B. Congratulations!

It's Friday, I'm In Love.

It's Friday and I've got a few things on my mind:

1. Yes, The Cure is one of my all-time favorite bands (and my best friend can't believe I still have their music on my iPod.)

2. I'm an old sentimental fool. Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has died of cancer. I love the Beastie Boys. I'm sad to think that the group won't be the same anymore. Why did I think they would just be around forever? There is no other band (even though Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Bon Jovi and Gene Simmons have certainly tried) that I could envision rocking out on stage at the age of 90, walkers in hand, and still be cool!

3. Did you know that Halls is having their Spring Sale? It's been extended until Sunday, May 6th AND (a little birdie told me) Nanette Lepore, Tibi, Yoana Baraschi and Milly are 40% off (regular price merchandise only.) Go, invest in classic and quality at 40% off. I might even see you there!

4. My son has Strep Throat. I feel helpless and horrible. Meds will help my son feel better, but an Oscar de la Renta gown might make me feel better. Or that pair of Louboutins.

5. Mother's day is coming up and I'm dreaming of Tiffany blue (wink, wink.)

6. Wow. The humidity has arrived, and that means my hair has grown at least three times in volume since March.

6. Here's an outfit to round out my thoughts (and how I wish it were a poufy taffeta Oscar de la Renta gown!)
