Coral Herringbone

coral herringbone

While everyone else seems to be celebrating the end of the school year and/or going on holiday, I'm entering one of my busiest months of work, so ... bleh. The good stuff: I have some fun international travel coming up in the next few weeks. The inconvenient stuff: I also have a lot of "life" things I need to deal with right now that is getting pushed to the side (nothing terrible going on, life's just generally been busier than usual). Bad stuff: When times get busy, my try-to-be-healthy habits tend to go down the tube. I'm trying to reel in the mindless eating right now, but lots of work and not enough carbs makes for one cranky Lisa - at least my clothes can look happy!

For you other lovely ladies, have a wonderful weekend!

Eyelet and Coral

eyelet + coral eyelet + coral

I've been on an embellished white top/tee hunt for spring and this one fits the bill nicely. I don't get why it's always ridiculously difficult to get non-sheer white tops - having to layer seems to miss the point of a crisp, cool top for warm weather for me. Let's count this as yet another winner for that fast-fashion juniors' brand I should really stop shopping at (which I only do online, so it's like I'm sneak-shopping there ...)

Dressed Up Sweatshirt

floral ponte

It was difficult deciding between the top, the dress, the skirt or the pants when Banana Republic came out with this fun graphic floral pattern (I apparently have a thing for bold blue florals this season) but I'm glad I finally settled on the sweatshirt. Aside from being super-duper comfy, it's also so easy to dress up and down ... though I still kind of want the skirt (or the dress) ... decisions, decisions ...

Modern Red, Take Two

cropped trench

I always seem to veer towards this punchy orange-red hue (formerly called "modern red" by J.Crew) whenever the weather turns warm and this spring has been no exception. I easily own enough pieces now in this color to do Carmen Sandiego proud - in fact I think I'm just one big reddish hat away from this year's Halloween costume ... though does anyone even still remember good ole bad girl Carmen?
