The weather here in Philadelphia has been bizarre - hot, cold, dry, wet - we've seen it all recently. Makes for interesting closet choices. I'm back in school full time so I have been bogged down with work. I apologize for letting like 10 days go by without a post. I promise to try harder to make time for my blog. xx

I recently discovered this beautiful Australian label - Gillian Tennant - on one of my favorite blogs, allure-allure. Everything is so soft and airy, almost ballerina-like.

My favorites from Diane Von Furstenberg S/S 2011

This is her first collaboration with Yvan Mispelaere, and a successful one for sure. In typical dfv style, there were lots of bold prints throughout the collection (not shown here). They were great as well, but I tend to gravitate toward the less graphic, more simple silhouettes, like those above. Beautiful. I'm particularly loving the rust and blue color combo in photo two.

Just when I thought I've discovered all the fashionable bloggers out there, along comes Victoria Tornegren. I highly recommend checking out her blog. You will not be disappointed. She tends to dress in blacks, whites, grays, and beiges (which is right up my alley). And her apartment - stark white - is so lovely and a perfect background to her bronzed skin and blonde hair.
