Week of 8/30

With August coming to a close and Labor Day just around the corner, now is the time to enjoy those last few days of summer... weather permitting, of course.

Reoccurring Themes

If you haven't noticed, here are few key elements to my wardrobe:

I LOVE my Stuart Weitzman shoes - high-quality, on-trend, fantastically priced and well-made. These are a wardrobe staple for me!

Forever 21 - they have some treasures and I especially like their basics. I integrate these trendy pieces with classics in my closet

Designer Accessories - whether it's a Chanel bag, Pucci scarf or Ferragamo belt, these special pieces are the bread and butter of my wardrobe

Watches - never leave home without one! I'm loving BIG menswear inspired, two-toned and anything interchangeable (Michele is one of my faves)

Next week I'm off to LA for labor day weekend... bring on the sunshine, shorts, sandals and shades!
