Summer Style



      With finals starting in less than a week, it's hard to let myself think of anything other than property laws and potential tort claims...but I've already started to crave summer (can you blame me?) Nothing sounds more appealing than a sweltering summer afternoon spent by the pool in Palm Springs inspired prints. While taking a moment to fantasize about my life post-finals, I remembered the upcoming Trina Turk capsule collection for Banana Republic.


         
     Due in stores this June, the 60 piece collection will  feature an array of summer must-haves, from flirty dresses to printed swimsuits and plush beach towels. Inspired by the Palm Springs "cocktails by the pool" lifestyle, the collection promises lots of color and Turk's signature bright and bold prints. It's as if the people at Banana Republic read my wish list for summer- can't wait to see the collection in person!

Mad Men Mania



I cannot tell you how happy I am that Mad Men is (finally) back! It's the highlight of my Sunday night, and I can't wait to see how the story line develops this season. Besides the entertaining characters, my favorite part of the show is the 1960s props- from the clothing to office decor I just can't get enough! If you feel the same way (or just love vintage inspired pieces) check out these tips for decorating the mad men way . My personal favorite is this retro stereo:

Are you a fan of the show? Does it inspire you in anyway?
