I’m usually not the biggest fan of Free People but I’m really digging their new safari-themed Spring line. Lots of fun items in the muted warm colors I always go for. This long-sleeve maxi dress is killing me with this print. It’s so unique and flirty I’d kill to wear this on the beach somewhere.

I mean, how fabulous does RHW look in this spread?!! My adoration for mixed prints and crop tops is screaming from this page. I’d love to have a BBQ or picnic planned to be able to pop this number on. Swop out the red heels for some fun wedges and I’d be all over this s***.

Solange Knowles covered Complex magazine this month and let me just say, holy cow, she looks stunning. Her spread is fierce, colorful, and flat out sexy. This girl certainly knows how to hold her own against her sister. Let me just go ahead and snag those candy-colored pumps, and possibly that hair.

That warmer weather I’ve been hoping for has finally arrived! But now I am frantically looking for outfits that keep me cool. Thanks goodness I have these DC bloggers. In a spread on Refinery29, bloggers from the nation’s capitol show us how to style stripes for the warm summer months. You all know how much I love my stripes, so this story was perfect for me. I especially love this look. I might just have to do a copy cat version for the office.

Shenae Grimes from 90210 got married this weekend in a secret ceremony. She went the non-traditional route and opted for a black Vera Wang gown. While I am more for the traditional white dress, I think this black one looks stunning on her. Obviously it fits her style and I think that is more important to cater to than to stick to the norm. I thought she looked gorgeous. And the red flowers seem to compliment the black perfectly. Well done Shenae!

The long awaited The Great Gatsby finally comes out today. Personally, I couldn’t be more excited. I don’t know what I’m the most excited for. Is it that I finally get to see my favorite book played out in modern technology? Is it the fact that I get to stare at Leo for the good portion of two hours? Or is it the fashion? My gut is telling me it’s the third reason. Here is a sneak peek at some of the fabulous costuming of the new drama.

I have been obsessing over these Chanel Espadrilles for some time now. It seems that almost everything blogger I follow has a pair. They are so cute and casual that they would be perfect with just a tee and jeans for Spring. Unfortunately, these babes are going to have to remain on my wish list. And by wish list I mean ‘never going to have because I don’t have that kind of money.’ I guess I’ll just have to resort to living vicariously through my favorite fashion bloggers.

Kate Moss is looking gorg on the cover of UK Vogue June 2013. Not only is the cover baller, but her 60s themed spread on the inside is just as admirable. My favorite by far is this look. The perfectly messy hair and the flower power jumpsuit makes every girl want to go boating. Ms. Moss and Anna Wintour strike again.

The Met Gala was last night and the fashion was incredible. With the punk theme, there were many that took the theme to the extreme, aka Miley, and there were others that incorporated it to perfection. My absolutely fav was SJP, or should I say Carrie Bradshaw, it looks like she may be making a comeback. OMG this girl looked amazing! That head piece was the icing on the cake. My other favorite was Kerry Washington. That touch of punk in the leather gloves was fabulous. My other favorites included Jessica Alba in her Tory Burch cut-out gown, Jennifer Lawrence who can never do any wrong, Cameron Diaz and her spike belt, Brooklyn Decker in her flirty flapper dress, and of course Anne Hawthaway with the blonde debut. Anna Wintour certainly knows how to throw one helluva party!

As many of us know, the Kentucky Derby was this past Saturday. If you’re like me, you didn’t tune in to watch the actual race (congrats to Orb), but instead you tuned in to see those fabulous hats many of the females adorned. Some were pretty fantastic, and some were straight up train wrecks. I particularly liked this look on Lauren Conrad. I thought it was appropriate for the occasion and was overall marvelous. The sophistication of the overall look mixed with the, compared to most, understated head garnish was perfection.
