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.

Go Buy Now… Espadrille Sandals from Victoria’s Secret

One of my favorite things about summer is Espadrille sandals.  They’re cute but still incredibly easy to walk in.  And they’re perfect for all things summery and outdoors… weddings, BBQs, etc… (keeping you chic without the dreaded stiletto-popping-through-the-grass effect.)  The only downside is that by the end of the summer, the jute platform is inevitably disgustingly dirty and the shoes usually need to be thrown away.
