Zippers are a trend you cannot ignore right
now.  They have been popping up everywhere for
months, and they sure catch the eye.  Balmain brought
the look to the runways and now everyone is copping
the style.

I am naturally drawn to denim.  Denim jackets, denim pants and denim skirts.  The odd thing is that I don't wear my denim skirts too often.  I have three fabulous denim pencil skirts (this one is slightly tulip style) which are all substantially different, and they sit in the my drawer.  I think they definitely get more play in the summer though.  I paired this with a crisp striped short-sleeve button down, cardi and classic belt.

After reading Emily's post on stripes, I found myself looking for more 'French-inspired' attire.  Does this include stripes?  Of course it does!  And although I'm no stranger to the stripe, it's always nice to freshen it up.  Not only do stripes remind me of the French, but my mind also wanders to a nautical theme.  Check out some of my picks below.



Adidas Celebrate Stripes Top $102.56

Rare Metallic Vertical Stripe Bandeau Dress $100.86 { my fave }

French Connection Candy Stripe Dress $168





Did I just die and go to heaven?! I found these Toureson booties from Aldo
just now and I'm in looove.  A hidden wedge in an ankle boot - does it get any
better than this?  It also reminds me of these sick boots that Fashion is Poison
blogged about.  They still have my size and they are on sale for half price! 
Too good to be true?!
