Hey loves... I'm obsessing over pairing this marigold hue with pretty pops of color, yesterday I went with a swirl of pretty green hues in the top. This Christian Dior belt is one of my new thrift purchases. Cannot believe it was just hanging there on the belt rack, in the clear, no one had grabbed it AND it was only $1.99! Whata steal! The red Isabel Marant-esque bow heels gave this look an extra pop of unexpected color! :)

P.S. I wanted to say THANK YOU ALL for the love and support during the Nokia & Elle Search for The Next Style Correspondent contest. Yesterday I found out that I did not make the top 8 finalists that will be going to NYFW in September. Yes, I am bummed... BUT, I can say I'm really happy to have made the top 50 finalists out of thousands of entries. It was a fun experience. I am so excited for the 8 finalists and I cannot wait to see all their reporting from NYFW. Good luck to them all! We'll see who the grand prize winner is after NYFW! :) xo!

    Oh, be still my heart...those heels!!! I may just have to get myself a pair of those asap! The rest of your outfit is perfect too, I love the colors and the statement necklace, you look so chic!
    Sorry to hear about NYC, but you did make it so far, that is such an accomplishment in itself! And there is always next year...

    This is just great! I love it all, the colours, the heels ...everything. How did you manage to haul in that Dior belt for a mere $1.99? Who ever priced that needs their head examined. Score for you!
    Have a great week-end
