Kaleidoscope

I'm all moved in to my apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, and almost entirely unpacked, though shoe storage continues to be a problem. I forgot how hot it is here in the summer, especially during monsoon season, but I'm loving it so far anyways. How was your weekend? I'd love to hear what you did!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my birthday! Saturday night I went out to celebrate with some of my favorite people, and also to say goodbye to everyone before I leave town. I'm sad to be leaving but excited about everything that's in store for me in Phoenix!

I finally took the plunge and bought myself some Manolos, and thought Saturday night was as good a time as any to debut them. It's safe to say I'm in love.

Sun Hands

It's been pretty hot here all week, and no music fits the heat better than the Local Natives' song called "Sun Hands." Check it out, it's perfect. As is the rest of their album. Stay cool, my darling readers.

Totem Pole

Scenes from Portland during the 4th of July trip, that seems ages ago after a weekend in Miami. It's always a great trip when I get to see Katie.

Monumental

The Washington monument is under construction, as you can see from the photos, but Lincoln was wonderful in all of his glory. We also saw the WWII Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, and the Korean War Memorial. I love Washington, D.C.!

A Fabulous Fête

This past weekend in D.C. we celebrated one of my cousin's engagements. It was wonderful to be able to see so many of my relatives, since we're pretty spread out across the country, and the party was nothing short of fabulous. I apologize for the poor quality of these photos. My iPhone won out as my dominant camera for the evening. Congrats to the happy couple! I'm so excited for you!

All Black Everything (And Camel)

 When in doubt, wear black. Or maybe I'm just my mother's daughter. 

Have a great weekend!

The Shape of Summer

 Straight hair, a square silk dress, and the perfect flatform are some of my current favorite things. And summer, which is what it definitely already is in Scottsdale. It's shaping up to be a good one, so far.

Be Mine

 I ended up wearing this outfit to celebrate Valentine's Day last week at Osaki, an amazing sushi restaurant in Vail Village with my special someone, and it couldn't have been more perfect. With all of the snow in Denver and Vail I ended up wearing my Rag & Bone Harrow booties and adding my Helmut Lang coat to stay warm, but I still felt festive in this top and skirt. So often the subtlest details mean the difference between ok and spectacular. Here, there was just enough pink to make this work, especially with the feathered skirt.
