Photo taken by SB, friend from the office, as we ducked out of the rain & into Lord & Taylor.  Love that Kate Spade Tiki Bar clutch (on sale here)!  T is from J.Crew; Skirt from Zara (old, similar here from Kate Spade); Sandals: J.Crew (old, similar & on sale here); Jewelry: Stella & Dot Bahari neckace, Renegade bracelet, Tiffany’s, David Yurman, Tag Heur & Bag: Kate Spade picked up at the outlet store.

With so many sunny days, its natural to look up.  The beautiful weather is inspiring me to combine my yellows & blues.  Accenting these with neutral bag, sandals and jewelry.  Here is what is in this set:

ISSA London slimming dress / Stella McCartney embellished top / Ted Baker stripe tee, $70 / J.Crew long skirt / Mango crochet pants, $37 / Michael Kors high heel sandals / J.Crew j crew handbag / Rose gold necklace / MICHAEL Michael Kors wrap bracelet

I am ready for some fireworks, how about you?  Its a perfect holiday to play with pattern mixing … stars & stripes are made for each other. And as we are talking about getting a dog here – because life isn’t busy enough! – I could not resist this puppy and his oh-so-patriotic bow tie.  Too precious.  Hope you like this…
