Michael, Oliver and me piled into the mini cooper and spent last week at Woodstock!If you know this blog this is no surprise since we pretty much go every summer and stay at our friend’s place. New readers can check out 2011 photos here and here taken from there.
Dress: H&M (run don’t walk). Try Revolve, DKNY (on sale) or Alice & Olivia (so sick). Moccasins: New Orleans (New Orleans shopping guide is coming. Promise!). Try Free People. Bag: Free People. Mens brass cuff: Liberty United. Try Giles & Brother. Wishbone necklace (love it): Jennifer Zeuner. Blue liner: CoverGirl ‘Liquiline Blast.’
I am reeeeally into dark inky colors lately. It’s not typical for summer – usually jewel colors are seen around Autumn. Going against the grain is more interesting to me.
The fact that this dress is velvet is flipping genius. Kudos to H&M for having the balls. I bought it oversized for ventilation and the I-threw-this-old-thing-on slouch factor.
It feels vintage-like too which is right up my alley.More photos from up here to come…!

Neeeeed this dress! Looks gorgeous on you. Not on H&M website & my local store doesn’t have it yet. Will be keeping an eye out for it…

I love this gorgeous blue velvet dress! Looks great on you, could have sworn it was a high end designer dress! My favorite way to look at designer collections is on purelyapp.com or the Purely Fashion app for iPhone. It has a ton of designers and you can even create a lookbook with your favorite looks. I think you would love it!
