SWEET CHANEL O' MINE: MINI POST

70 degrees? I'll take it. I decided to wear one of my favorite finds from a consignment shop in NYC: a Chanel mini dress made in a delightful light cashmere. Imagine my surprise, finding it wedged between two terrible dresses from the 1980's. I just had to save it from obscurity. It goes without saying that when you wear this dress, you feel equal parts lady-like and equal parts living cupcake. Later, I topped it off with my Zara moto jacket when the weather changed.

BELL(E) OF CANYON COUNTRY

   Last Sunday, my husband and I had to venture out of our comforts by the foggy sea and into Canyon Country (where summer is still alive and kicking) for our friends' birthday party. This particular dress has been in my closet for several years now, I think eight to be exact. I purchased it at the time because I admired how casual the girl at Marc Jacob wore it. She wore it with shorts and a pair of scuffed up Converses. She looked fashionable and cool and I wanted to replicate that look but I could never find the guts to actually wear it. The dress screams "celebration" and "fun" so I thought it would be appropriate to bring it out for a birthday and I have to tell you, despite the 96 degree heat, I felt pretty damn cool.
