Oye Swimwear Sally Crossover Bikini


Oh, this. What do I say about this? It's naughty and chic at the same time. Do I love it? You bet your sweet Aunt Fanny I do. It's a cool 80 degrees in NoVa today, and swimsuits are on my mind. There's no way that you won't be turning heads on the beach or at the pool wearing this beauty. If you want to buy me this, I won't hold it against you.

Clover Canyon Desert Home Sleeveless Cropped Top & Neoprene Pencil Skirt


I'm a grown woman. I'm professional. I'm chic. I'm sophisticated. All of those things aside, I love this look. I don't even know why. It's very trendy. In all honesty, I could probably only wear it once (on vacation) before it would cease being culturally relevant. But. I. Love. It. What's a girl to do?

Coach Clarkson Sandal


I live for the summer. It's so cold and icky in Northern Virginia that I don't even feel alive until the sun comes out and the temperature rises. That said, I'm eternally on the hunt for the perfect flat sandal. It needs to be chic, comfortable, and reasonably priced so I won't cry if it gets ruined from daily wear. I'm not usually a huge fan of Coach, but they really hit the nail on the head with this sandal. It's everything I could want and then some. Best part? Since I purchase a bag or two a year from them to give to Mama for some random holiday or occasion, they constantly send me discount codes and coupons every few weeks. Now all I have to do is wait, and I can buy these at 25% off...

Athleta Tee Dress


So... it's not couture. It's not fancy. It's a long v-neck t-shirt... with rouching at the bottom to turn it into a "dress." Talk about the polar opposite of all of my other material lusts. Ignore all the things that it's not. This dress looks totally laid-back and cool. I wanna throw it into my carry-on and hop on a plane right now. Ooooo, and it would look fabulous with a pair of Coach sandals that I'm lusting after right now. I can see the whole look right now -- dewy tan, Ray Ban or Chanel aviators, this dress, Coach sandals, Tory Burch cross-body bag. Must. Buy. Now. <dreamy sigh>

Comme des Garcons Low-Top Converse Sneakers


Holy Converse, Batman! These are adorable. But maybe I'm just partial to CdG's cute little heart with eyes. It's darling and a little creepy at the same time. You know what I really love about these kicks? They're elitist Chuck Taylor's. Yup. That's the main appeal. The whole "my shoes are better than yours because they were harder to find and more expensive" thing. I'm shallow, I know. Get over it.

AllSaints Steine Biker Jacket


I LOVE AllSaints. They're different. They're edgy. They're British. They do several things right. AllSaints practically wrote the book on how to make asymmetric apparel look sexy and chic. (Think Vivienne Westwood with a grungy flair and at more affordable prices.) And then we come to the topic of their leather jackets… <takes a deep breath> Look. At. This. Jacket. It's perfection. I almost wish that I had a Harley so that I would have an excuse to wear it all the time. It's that major. And all of their leather jackets are this hot. Forget Justin. AllSaints is bringing sexy back 24/7.

Grey Zig Zag Jonathan Adler TOMS


Does the name "Jonathan Adler" sound familiar to you? It should. He's designed everything from decorative trinkets for the house to a limited edition collaboration with Tumi so that even your luggage can boast his snarky flair. Now, Monsieur Adler and his team have joined the do-gooders at TOMS to make sure that underprivileged children the world over have the chance to get a pair of shoes when you buy one. I love the geometric pattern on this grey pair and the good cause that purchasing them would support. Granted, I'm pretty certain that a small child in Rwanda won't be given a matching pair...
