OOTD: The Summer Peacock

Summer comes in a luke-warm flavor here in the Northwest.

Here in Seattle, the minute the sun peaks its head over the clouds, and it warms up to 60F degrees, outcome shorts, flip flops and t-shirts. I look around and see the stereotypical "Seattle" summer style, which includes rolled up cargo shorts, flip-flops and a loose, button-up cotton blouse. I thought I'd try and step up the typical "Seattle-summer" fashion game, with my new top, which I've lovingly named the Summer Peacock top. The best thing about this top? It will double as my go-to shirt during my trip to Tuscany in June.

Another note: My new favorite accessory is Lip Stain! The most amazing thing - a subtle pop of color that stays on all day with little maintenance. The shade I'm wearing here is Revlon's "Just Bitten" Lip Stain in "Flame."

What is your go-to summer top? The perfect airy, flowy, bright-colored top - we all have one. Post your summer go-to in the comments!

I know...its been almost 3 week since I last posted. A HUGE thank you to all my readers who didn't unfollow, and those who continued commenting on older posts.

Last week I was in Baltimore & DC for work, and turns out I love the East Coast! The style over there is so effortless...everyone seems to have a distinct fashion sense & is totally comfortable in their clothes. I love it. I'm going to try and be more "east coast" from now on...simply chic :)

I have a series of pictures for you below, including some office shots! Let me know what you think about the pictures, and also tell me what sort of posts you want to see this month on the blog in general.

From the Author: Hottest Trends at Golden Globes 2011

I'm sure all you fashion loving readers tuned in to the Golden Globes last night, or at least checked out who was wearing what. There are all kinds of best dressed lists out there...but I've got my own point of view.

For the most part, I agree with the best dressed lists. However, I thought Natalie Portman's Rose-embellished gown was AMAZING, and the only thing I disagreed with was her necklace...it was just too much.

Out of all the gorgeous gowns on the red carpet, there were two trends that kept popping up which I fell in love with. Pale peachy pinks & dark rich greens. Delicious.

Who was on your best dressed list? What do you think about my picks? Tell me everything.
