Maximising whatever is remaining of summer – I am feeling like a romper this Wednesday.
The stripes and cut out = super sexy!
I can see it now with some sandals and gold clutch for those last few summer nights…

Wanted Wednesday
With a fairly average summer – and an especially average summer day today (I want temperatures to be in the 90’s) – my thoughts went to summer dresses.
Time is almost out to wear them!
Hence – for Wanted Wednesday this week we are online shopping for this fun, flirty Kate Spade dress (and it’s pink – SOLD!).
Get those legs out while you still can!

Vogue
Not much needs to be said other than:
(1) best Tuesday delivery ever
(2) I have waited a year
I heart Vogue – and especially the September issue!!

Wanted Wednesday
Ok, so firstly EPIC FAIL!
Yes this weeks Wanted Wednesday is in fact being posted on Thursday. Sorry about that. Super busy bee this week…
Finally though, here we go.
This weeks Wanted Wednesday is this smokin’ pair of Helmut Lang leather pants.
Because honestly – who out there wouldn’t want these flattering, cropped, tight fitting, HOT pants that cost only a weeks rent??? No really – who??
Hope to see you in your leather.

Romance NYC Style
Romance is not dead – nor should it be.
Just take a look around Central Park. The couple on a picnic, the first date happening at the Boat House, the husband rowing his wife under the Bow Bridge.
Diane von Furstenberg coral creation adds its own romantic touch to this city escape.
The cut, colour, flowing fabric, the detail of the subtle pleating.
Dress – Diane von Furstenberg Autumn in Hot Spice
Shoes – Christian Louboutin Papilipi
Flower Ring – Peep Toe (similar here)
Lipstick – CHANEL Coco Rouge in 09 Organdi Rose
Nail Polish – Essie in Haute As Hello
Location – Bow Bridge, Central Park NY
May your life be filled with romance and love.

Wanted Wednesday
So here we are – Wanted Wednesday #2.
There may have been some controversy over WW #1 – specifically around the segment launching with a cuff and not my poison. Namely, shoes.
Fear not my friends – for this weeks wanted item is SHOES!
Christian Louboutin perfection – the Pigalle Spikes in Grenadine.
Pink, spiked and a 12cm (approx. 5 inch) heel.
Florals and corals
Summertime should not preclude you from wearing black.
Au contraire – you just need to make it feel more summery with some florals, or a splash of colour!
My favourite colour this season has to be anything in the coral family. I am finding myself drawn to anything coral spotted on the rack.
So pretty and feminine.
So here is my version of a summertime “black” outfit.
Love this Alex Perry top with a beautiful big floral pattern, an interesting vest-like shape at the top and flattering pleats.
Loving the hair donut!!
So quick, easy and elegant.
Nail colour by Essie – Haute As Hello
The detail on this bag is gorgeous – from the multi coloured panels, to the DVF kiss!
Floral top – Alex Perry
Skirt – Loft
Shoes – Christian Louboutin En Passant
Bag – DVF
Nail Polish – Haute As Hello by Essie
Hair donut – here
Enjoying my summer – hope you are too!

Wanted Wednesday
Welcome to my new weekly segment – WANTED WEDNESDAY!
And what, you may ask, do I want this Wednesday?
Well, I am really into accessories at the moment and loving the cuff.

Find your cuff online here.
Happy WW cyber shopping.

Short Shorts
Forget the LBD (ok jokes) – but, what about the LITTLE BLACK SHORTS?
I love them in spring, I love them in summer.
I love them casual, i love them dressy.
I love them on The Hart Of Dixie and the resulting disruption they cause to the town of Bluebell.
This past Sunday, I channeled my inner Zoe Hart and took my favourite little black shorts out to Brooklyn.
Teamed up with a summery colour blocked tank – and my new Manolo Blahniks (their first excursion!!)
Brooklyn Bridget Park – view of Manhattan Bridge
Brooklyn Bridget Park – view of Brooklyn Bridge & lower Manhattan
Colour block top (similar here)
Shorts – Loft (similar here)
Pumps – Manolo Blahnik Kandita-Mod Sandal
While some perceive them to be casual, I disagree and believe you can make the little black short a dressy statement.
Bring out the legs for summer.
