denim darling.

You probably know how much my chambray shirt (oh hey), but I recently fell in love with this dark denim version from Banana Republic.  It’s casual, comfortable, and classic — and it’s a piece that’s sure to get a lot of mileage in outfits to come.

sunset shades.

While I was driving from Phoenix to Tucson last week (see Tuesday’s post), I was inspired by the rich colors lighting the sky.  There’s seriously no sunset like an Arizona sunset.  It’s a gorgeous mixture of deep purple, orange, pink, and gold — a combination I just had to integrate into today’s outfit.

Side note: my watch is utterly inaccurate — it’s been on EST since my trip to NYC last August and the date is way off.  Just an indication on how often I actually rely on my watch for the time.  Ha!  Happy weekend everyone!

summer nails.

Just like clothing, I prefer to rotate nail polishes according to the seasons and summer calls for a few of my favorite hues.  Bright, bold shades of pink are a constant (I really like pink), but there a few new colors I want to try this summer.  Oranges, corals, and nudes are on the top of my list.  How about yours?
