I don’t even think of Ann Taylor, typically (find their cuts very boxy, and their fabrics largely unpleasant), but randomly found this great tropical-esque printed shirt dress in a sale there. Whenever it seems like I may have too many shirt dresses, I tell myself that it would be impossible to have too many of such a failsafe item, surely.

I am such a Leo.

Haven’t worn these sunglasses in a while. So retro.

Ann Taylor dress, vintage Donna Karan belt, Breil Milano watch, Vuarnet sunglasses, Pears of Joy 11mm freshwater studs, Pearl Paradise 8mm freshwater necklace with thrifted lion pendant (pendant hanger linked here). On the lips: Stila Valentina.* On the nails: Essie Ruffles and Feathers.

*Picked this up after seeing Lisa Eldridge use it to great effect in this [excellent] video on orange lips.

inspiration: Twin Peaks

If you’ve watched and loved Twin Peaks, as I have, check out this Uncut article, which offers great backstory with a lot of the key players chiming in. I [finally, after years of being told to watch it] saw the series about two years ago. I was hooked from the pilot and it virtually took over my life for one watershed month. If you haven’t seen it, there is nothing like it (no excuses: it’s on Netflix instant streaming). It’s right up there with the original Twilight Zone as one of my favorite shows.

Twin Peaks is going to come up again, so much incredible styling.
