Wonder crystal necklace; Linea Pelle Grayson Bar Clutch; J.Crew turquoise stretch bracelet; J.Crew square pave link bracelet; Zara white beige colorblock heels

My outfits so far this week have been decidedly moody. Darker, richer colors are seeping their way back into my wardrobe as it feels like fall is just around the corner. And even though temps have been significantly cooler than usual, I have to remind myself that it’s still summer! I need to stop dwelling on how fleeting the last weeks of the season feel and start enjoying all the adventures there are left to be had. So today’s cheerier attitude calls for a much peppier outfit — and nothing says summer summer summertime than chambray, sandals and polka dots.

now & later: sam edelman wedges.

July 30, 2013

Sam Edelman Sutton Wedges — $87.99 (on sale!)

Whenever I go shopping, I make it a rule to only buy pieces that I can imagine myself wearing in at least two or three different outfits — a standard that helps me to prevent impulse purchases and saves me from buyer’s remorse later down the road.

Well, when I saw these these Sam Edelman wedges on sale, I immediately conjured up two different outfits: the first look still very much in a bright, summer mindset and the second being slightly toned down for fall. I love the looks equally and have pretty much convinced myself that these wedges pass the test! Leopard, after all, is a neutral. Which look is your favorite?

denim denim.

July 29, 2013

This past weekend, the boyfriend and I drove up to Rhode Island for a little birthday getaway. We ate and drank our way through Providence and Newport, laid out by the sea, and hung out with the Vanderbilts. It was a quick trip, but packed with plenty of exploration and sightseeing.

For our stroll through the Brown University campus, I put on my version of the summer suit: a double dose of denim topped with a light gray blazer and cognac accessories. A little bit casual, a little bit collegiate and a whole lot of chic.
