I love the concept of a sweet summer outfit {like this baby blue dress}, mixed with more edgy accessories like fun high heels and quirky sunglasses {and even the keyhole cutout in the dress is a little edgy!}. I wish I could wear this dress, and entire ensemble, before summer ends so soon!
Yellow has always been one of my favorite colors, and it always reminds me of summer. Below are a few yellow items that I wish I could add to my closet {and home!} {image via This Is Glamorous}:

Summer accessories are not something I typically splurge on, but I love the idea of a fun, summer clutch {especially with all of the weddings we have this year!} Below are a few that have caught my eye this season:
I am getting pretty excited for Memorial Day weekend, and to celebrate the beginning of summer fashion I discovered this gorgeous leaf print blouse; I love how a simple yet bold print can make it feel like summer has officially arrived :)
I realize I post mostly about things I want, but this one is different: I seriously need a card case in my life! When I am out and using a small clutch, I typically opt for a paper clip to hold my money, I.D., and credit cards and I realize this is not ideal {or safe for my belongings!} I've compiled some potential card cases to solve my problem {PS, I will be out of town for work and taking a few days off - will be back Monday with more posts!}:

Blazers are my favorite addition to any outfit in the fall/winter, and below are all of the ones I want to magically appear in my closet - all shapes, styles, and colors! Which one is your favorite?
Although I am beyond excited for fall weather {and FASHION}, I am trying to soak up the last month of official summer. Below are a few summer accessories and beauty products that I will use as inspiration for my fashion choices the next few weeks - white and lots of brights! {Image via Local Milk here}

I recently wore an outfit around Denver that was super comfy for an all-day outing, but I styled it so I would still feel chic. I wore these amazing mustard-colored skinny cords I got for Christmas from Santa {they're Anthropologie}, an oversized sweater {BCBGeneration}, my TOMS wedges {most comfortable shoes I own!}, and my Kate Spade winter coat; I opted for bright red nails and my favorite little diamond ring. Although it was the perfect outfit for a chilly Denver day, I am hoping to be wearing more spring-friendly clothes in the near future - fingers crossed!
Although I am usually sick of them by the end of winter, I do enjoy boots. Below is a variety of boots, all styles and colors, that I am currently loving and want to add to my closet this winter:
1. Maison Martin Margiela MM6 wedge boots via MatchesFashion.com {here} <--- on sale! 2. Tory Burch suede bootie {here} <--- on sale! 3. Diane von Furstenberg {here} <--- on sale! 4. Anine Bing studded boots {here} 5. Giuseppe Zanotti zip ankle boots via Saks {here} 6. Theory booties {here} <--- on sale! 7. 3.1 Phillip Lim via Shopbop {here} <--- on sale! 8. Topshop {here} 9.

Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you have to dress less fashionably! I am all about chic winter pieces, and a bright pop of color. Below is a collage that is my idea of a perfectly polished colder-weather ensemble:
As much as I love wearing black and neutrals for fall, I always love a pop of color. Cobalt is such a hot color right now, and I love incorporating it into an otherwise simple ensemble. Below is my idea of the perfect pop of cobalt for a chic, fall outfit:
