MDS Stripes

Half of my closet is stripes. This is not an exaggeration. You can take the East Coast girl out of the East Coast... well, you know how it goes. When I found out Mark D Sikes was doing a line, aptly named MDS Stripes, I sort of freaked. The beachy, preppy and fun line features dresses, tops, skirts, short shorts and even made to order maxi skirts in, of course, navy and white stripes. My favorites? The Bacall Boxy Tee, the Jane Halter, the Kate tank and the Lucy shorts. Check out all the MDS Stripes styles here and check out Mark's site, an absolute must-read, here.

A Touch of Neon

When I know a week is going to drag on, sometimes I add a touch of neon or bright colors to my wardrobe to get me motivated to make it through to the weekend. I love the look of camel and neon pink (especially that look below with the neon pink shorts and hat--swoon!). Fluorescent yellow has been really in the past few seasons, which I've mostly seen paired with an all black ensemble. What's your favorite way to pair neon? I adore neon in a melony color and for the men in your life, check out these awesome new Johnnie-O 4 button polos in Goombay, Neon Pink and Posion (just in time for Father's Day)!
