Kara By Kara Ross Small Hexagon Drop Earrings

I’m always looking for the perfect turquoise accessories.  Having blue eyes (and until recently, blonde hair,) turquoise is one of those colors that just works for me (and for everyone, for that matter…  feel free to disagree, but I consider turquoise to be a neutral.) Turquoise is great because it adds a pop of color to an otherwise boring outfit but also contrasts well with other brights without necessarily stealing the stage.

J.Crew’s Liberty of London Bikini

As a kid, I loved Liberty of London’s vibrant floral patterns.  In particular, I remember being 14 and busing tables for my parents’ restaurant…  one of the waiters, Emile, wore Liberty of London ties every night.  I was obsessed.  At the end of the summer, he gave me a few of his ties.  I wore them for as long as I worked at the restaurant, despite the fact that they were frayed, stained, and faded.  I went to London last Spring and wanted desperately to get to the Liberty store, but we didn’t have time.

Friday Fashion Crush – J.Crew’s Impressionist Dress

I don’t know very much about art, but I do know that I love the impressionists.  Whenever I visit museums (which is sadly very rare,) I spend the most time in the impressionist section… musing over the soft watercolors and muted oil landscapes.  I hate saying it as it’s cliche, but Monet is my absolute favorite.
