This summer has been all about soaking up the sun rays and ros wine. We still have some time before Fall to enjoy the weather.
I love when the art and fashion collide, especially on a dress. I recently wore this Milly dress to an AKA luncheon and everybody was in love. It’s perfect for that kind of affair, brunch, lunch, or business with a nice blazer. Check out more summer dresses here.

This summer I’ve enjoyed my Isa Arfen tiered ruffle dress. It’s perfect to make a statement in this heat! This dress is sold out but check out this similar Isa Arfen skirt and slip dress. I paired the dress with a Rebecca Minkoff black quilted leather handbag (which kind of goes with everything).
I feel tropical cool in this dress and tried a new green color on my nails to go with it. Peep more photos below!

So, yesterday, I went to the TMRW Studio for Market Week Cocktail Hour. They had such cute items and I met designer Sarah Phillips and saw some of Fulya Cerit’s shoes currently in Turkey. I just loved some of their shoes and handbags! Peep more below.

So I’ve been feeling a little disillusioned with the things going on in the world recently. From terrorist attacks to police shootings, racism and even this current political season, it’s all quite overwhelming. Every day we seem to hear about police killing young black men and not facing any consequences. And hateful rhetoric should never be heard from a political candidate. With all this being said, I’ve made my voice heard through peaceful protest and communication with my political representatives. Taking action is the best solution so I put together a little list that may help (if you haven’t done them already).
This is just a start. May love, peace and justice prevail.

So this time of year is great for sales! Summer is in full swing and you’ve just got to catch these deals before they’re gone! Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, and even a pair of those fabulous Dolce & Gabbana headphones from the line that Rihanna was wearing earlier this year!
And, starting tomorrow add an extra 20% off on all ModaOperandi sale items with the code MODA20.
Marc Jacobs showed an 80’s rock and roll inspired Resort 2017 Collection this week and I am inspired. Crimped hair, pink metallic and animal prints came down the runway in a show that left me wanting to turn on some 1980s Metallica. I particularly loved the sequined MTV sweatshirt- what a fun collection!

Talk about a pill box. If a doctor has ever prescribed you anything, you can definitely appreciate these. Dr. Samantha Boardman wore the Happiness clutch to the Met Ball and well, they would make me happy too! I love these bags and what’s better than to just wear your emotional baggage?

The walk to the beach is full of suspense and beautiful foliage. You just can’t wait to get there and if it’s a gorgeous day, it may look something like this. I took a photo of this scenery and loved it so much, I did a painting. Walk to the beach.

Palm Trees. Sequins. Cigars. Old Cars. It was a Cuban dream at the Chanel Cruise 2016/17 Fashion Show yesterday. Chanel nailed their fashion show by incorporating all things that come to mind when thinking about Cuba but maintained their backbone. There was tweed and beautiful materials of course, but 1950s cars and cigar box handbags.
I loved it! In Florida, it’s basically resort wear all year long and this show definitely gave me some great inspiration. I definitely want to get over to Cuba one of these days. By the way, if you are in Cuba Karl Lagerfeld is showing more than 200 of his photographs at Factoria Habana until May 12th.
