Fashion Inspiration: Giovanna Battaglia & The Knoty Belt

How brilliant is that rope belt detail? I have been doing my own very nautical necklace using blue curtain tieback rope {looks super cute with a stripe top}..... but leave it to Giovanna to make a simple rope belt look fabulous on a chic summer dress! Love the laser cut shoes!!

I am totally trying this look! What do you say yes or nay!

Lunch Break: A dockside Picnic!

Nothing like a lazy summer Friday lunch by the water under a bright blue sky! Love the idea of grabbing a cute modern wire tote.. with a few pretty details...you are ready to transport your outdoor dining with flair!

And of course it always adds an extra layer of cuteness tied bamboo utensils {for more go here}, sandwiches wrapped in paper napkins, a little water bottles filled with flowers....! Enjoy your lunch!

What I Love Today: The Raffia Tote from Balenciaga

Balenciaga ~ Large Raffia Tote

The ultimate Riviera chic tote!! I guess if there is one more accessory to splurge before the end of the season...this would be it for me! And to judge by sales... I am not the only one crazy about this bag...Sold out at Barney's, and the green one I saw at Balenciaga last night, sold out by this morning...!

I think every summer wardrobe should have a cool raffia tote... and if it's dyed raffia even better!! The perfect accessory for a day at the market, brunch with friends..! But if I have this Balenciaga would love to bring some fun to a more traditional look as Mademoiselle Agnes did in St Tropez! Tres chic!!

Hope you have a fabulous Friday!
