Now, if you don't have the perfect 4th of July outfit (which if you are anything like me you have waited until the last minute) order any one these pieces ASAP and celebrate America in star spangled style!
I think that it is safe to say that it is officially wedding/engagement season, which means many of us will be attending a variety of different events from engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and of course actual weddings.
Duh.
Now, this is where some people may become a little annoyed or panicked about the fact that they have to buy so many different ensembles for all of these occasions because you obviously can't repeat an outfit once you have been photographed in it (it's a legit rule).
So, in an attempt to help those of you who have become painfully aware that everyone around you is getting married, having kids, and subsequently draining your time and bank account, I have complied a list of some of my favorite summer wedding/engagement party dresses to make things a little easier on all of you!
Oh and every single piece is available at my absolute favorite place, Houndstooth Boutique!
Ok, so those are only a few of my personal favorites so make sure you pick a dress that best fits the feel and location of the event you are attending! Dying for more?

2 oz. of Limoncello liqueur chilled (can be kept in the freezer)
Mint sprigs
Frozen raspberries
Chill the glasses you intend to serve the coolers in for at least 20 prior serving. Once the glasses are chilled, muddle a sprig of mint at the bottom of each glass, add the Limoncello, Prosecco, and finally add the frozen raspberries!
There you have it! A perfect little cocktail to kick off the summer!
That means you have to start assembling all of your summer esstionals to get you through the sunny months ahead.
My number one essential, other than sunscreen, is a great pair (or two) of fabulous sun glasses.
You need to protect you skin and eyes from the sun's harmful rays!!!
I think it is important every summer to invest in one nice pair of sunglasses and at least one cheap pair for days when you are at the beach, pool, etc.
Here are some of my personal favorites for your "investment" pair this summer...
Now, go out and find your favorite styles for this summer and rock them for Memorial Day weekend! I will leave you with a silly little quote from one of my favorite people, Karl Lagerfeld...
"Sunglasses are like eyeshadow. They make everything look younger and prettier."
I have found a new love in MiH Jeans people and it's getting pretty serious.
MiH Jeans is a London based denim company and the regeneration of Made in Heaven, a brand that was started by the Godfather of current Founder and Creative Director, Chloe Lonsdale.
Chloe was basically born with blue jeans in her blood. Her father started the famous Jean Machine stores and was known as "The Blue Jean King," while her mother was a denim model throughout the 70's.
MiH Jeans has a celebrity filled client base that started with the likes of Jane Birkin and Farah Fawcett to Kate Bosworth and Jessica Biel today.
The main focus of MiH Jeans is to provide the best fit possible and the highest quality denim available.
Here are some of my favorite styles and washes, all of which I have!
What I love most about this style is the combination of the high rise with the kick flare that instantly slims any body type. This particular style comes in 22 different washes including...
Marrakesh in Greyson Same style but the Greyson wash creates a very different look!
This wide leg jean is perfect for the spring and summer months! Throw on your favorite white tank, a skinny belt, some great wedges and you are set.
Alright, so now that we all know about how amazing MiH Jeans are, GO GET SOME! They can be found on websites like Net-A-Porter, ShopBop, and Barneys.com but if you want to try them on to find the best fit for you (which I highly recommend) head over to Houndstooth Boutique in Eden Prairie or Savage!
The perfect pair of jeans is hard to find, MiH Jeans make it easier. Have a fab weekend everyone! XO
I would like to thank Style.com for bringing this exquisite video to my attention!
The latest project from Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin has some of the world's most fabulous models parading around the Palace of Versailles in Dior.
Honestly, the mere thought of it is so chic I could die.
Now, for those of you who don't know what Versailles is...
Versailles is where the French Royal Family, including the infamously fabulous Marie Antoinette, resided until the French Revolution forced them out in 1789. The Palace of Versailles is best known for its extreme luxury and grandeur, which is still breathtaking to this day.
Have a look for yourself!
Fun Fact: Chanel will be holding its Resort showing at Versailles next month. C'est fantastique!
