While summertime is the season (if there is one) to look like a walkin' talkin' rainbow, there's still the occasional moment that black calls your name from the closet, begging for a night out on the town. And now that it's officially August (what the what!?), investing in some black is a wise transitional choice. Which is why Over the Moon asked me to put together some dark looks that are just as appropriate for ze summer as they will be in a couple months. So paint it black, my peoples.
It happened again. Friends went on a safari getaway, I spend my working hours watching them feed giraffes whilest I feed myself a granola bar, and I'm left with nothing but a desire to go on a Afrique c'est chic adventure. As is usually the case, I'll make do with watching some Planet Earth and imagining what I would have packed.

This week, Over the Moon asked me to whip together a collage inspired by the Mamma Mia remake that is now showing. The movie reminds me of all things Greek, weddings, disco, and blue & white... but it also reminds me of seeing the first Mamma Mia in college with my best friend and belting out every ABBA song in the theater. As I type this, I am en route to said best friend's wedding... which makes it seem extra apropros to end this blog post with nothing else but Mamma Mia, here we go again! (excuse my cheese - blame the ungodly early wake up time)

Pink with pops of verde are calling my name today. Perhaps its this weekend's bridesmaid duties that I'm very much looking forward to & require me to wear light pink or maybe its plotting my Labor Day in La La Land visit to the Beverly Hills Hotel. Those are just some educated guesses, but either way - these happy summer colors are on my radar.
It seems like the only thing you see bloggers posting about lately is the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And its seems slightly insane-in-the-membrane to shop for coated jeans and coats in the sweat-drenching month of July. But its hard not to justify a prep-for-fall purchase with deals n' steals this good. Here are my picks for Over the Moon.
