Multi-Colored, Multi-Sized Horizontal Stripes Actually a Do

During fashion week, there was a lot of coverage of what all the ladies lucky enough to be attending the shows were sporting all over town. For some reason, I could not get this image out of my head.

This girl might be the only person on the planet that can pull this look off. With her perfectly unstyled, a bit too long hair and lithe figure perfect for lots of horizontal stripes, she somehow makes it work perfectly with classic black pumps and a simple shoulder bag. 

The fun colors and varying widths of the stripes is what I love about the dress, even though I probably would not be able to wear it with such ease. It does work well though as inspiration. So I did some shopping...

1. Fendi from Farfetch $399

2. Marc by Marc Jacobs from Shopbop $350

3. See by Chloe at Saks $370

4. Reiss $170

5. ASOS $31 (total Prada knockoff, but price tag is so much lighter!)

6. Thakoon at Net-a-Porter $1450

7. French Connection From Bloomingdales $98

8. Oasis from ASOS $104

Weekend Wishes

Fendi.com

How great are short weeks? My wishes this weekend are to wear my new (thanks Lacey!) shoes somewhere. No real party plans, so that might mean just around my house with a glass of wine.

I would also like to bake a pie. Thinking about this easy recipe for strawberry.

Lastly, I would like to wish all of you luck in hunting down something fab this weekend. Be it in fashion, home or location, have fun and please share!

Cutting In

One of my favorite trends from the Met Ball on Monday night were strategically placed cutouts. These three lovely ladies wore the trend to perfection by making it discreet and keeping the rest of look PG, or at least PG-13. 

When wearing anything with some sort of cutout, I think it best to not go overboard with the showing of skin. Just a peek can be so chic and flirty. Here are some ways to wear this trend in your life. 

1. Rachel Pally Long Cutout Dress at ShopBop $238

2. Enamel Cuff Bracelet with Cutout from BCBG Maxazria $58

3. Dolce Vita Marina Ric Rac Dress at Revolve Clothing $176

4. Sam Edelman 'Kendall' Wedge Sandal at Nordstrom $160

5. Rebecca Minkoff Jemme Top at Saks $175

6. Wren 'Julia' Open Back Dress at Nordstom $298

7. Tom Ford Emmeline Metal Sunglasses at Scoop NYC $380

8. Sea Blue Cut Out Sleeveless Top from Top Shop  $60

9. Halston Heritage Stella zip-detailed suede sandals at Net-a-Porter $225

10. Boulee Tiffany Cutout Cami Dress at Saks $218

11. Fendi Snakeskin Cutout Platform Bootie at Neiman Marcus $835

12. Diane von Furstenberg Nema One-Piece Swimsuit at Barneys $225

13. Cutout Waist Belt from BCBG Maxazria $26

I am obsessed with the Dolce Vita dress, it has such an interesting cutout and the print is great. The cobalt blue Halston Heritage sandals could be such a great statement shoe and come in one of the most chic colors of the season. 

I am drooling over the Fendi booties. How amazing for summer dresses and cropped jeans?
