Dress: Zara; Shoes: Asos; Sunglasses: Karen Walker; Bag: Chanel; Jewelry: J. Crew chain bracelet (similar style here), Mynamenecklace "Krystal" necklace (similar style here); Lipstick: Revlon "Persian Melon"
After a quick change of plans this weekend due to the man friend's recent back injury, we unpacked our bags originally intended for Yosemite and relaxed at home. (I relaxed, he recovered actually, which was perhaps just what I needed to feel back on track again.) Some much needed cleaning and closet purging, lead to some very productive projects being crossed off my list (hello freshly painted drawers!) and even a deserved trip to Crossroads proved very fruitful (hello almost-never-worn-Miu-Mius!)
As for this dress (and heck, the hairdo) I'd be lying if I didn't admit I've been watching more than my fair share of Sex and the City reruns. I'm feeling a little Bradshaw in this, circa season six when she's dating her Russian luvah. Luckily, lil' Miss Jones (Not Samantha, Beth of B. Jones Style) has an awesome tutorial for this up-do, aptly called "The Carrie Bradshaw Bun." "Of course, I couldn't help but wonder," how did I ever exist without knowing just how to do this hair style? So simple and perfect for summer days!
Enough about my weekend though, what did all of you do?

This dress is fabulous! And the glasses and the bag and the shoes. Will I be unpopular, though, if I said I didn't like the Carrie bun? But everything else is perfect! (personal opinion – still look gorgeous though 😉

I can't help but wonder how you get to be prettier and prettier. Hope your man is alright! I love this clean, sleek dress and your hair is perfect. It totally is a different version of the Oscar de la Renta dress that the Russian buys for Carrie.
I love your sunglasses!!
