Sweet Inspiration

Shopping in the Marais district of Paris this past Sunday provided a great deal of inspiration.  My sweet tooth drew me into this streetside candy vendor and reminded me of all the fun we are having with color this season.  Be bold and mix up your brightest colors!  It's summer now so have a little fun and don't take yourself too seriously.

7 days of the perfect vest

When we were little my younger sister went through a stage where she watched the movie "Peter Pan" everyday for a week.  I never truly understood this concept till now.  I just bought this Amazing Truth&Pride vest that I can't stop wearing. 

Day 1: Long underwear and vest+broken foot= cute ski bunny costume

Day 2: Black Sunner mini dress, tights and vest

Day 3: Navy and white plaid button down, light blue James Jeans bell bottoms and vest

Day 4: Freezing cold day.  James Jeans twiggys, grey cashmere Ka sweater, vest.  So warm.

Day 5: Black leather Susana Monaco t-shirt dress, tight, and vest.  Perfect date night.

Day 6: Light heather grey turtleneck sweater dress, black tights, vest. 

Day 7: Casual day off.  Black English Muffin smocking sweatpants, grey long sleeve t-shirt and vest.  Obviously.

Dead Head

Yes, I used to rock the big boxy Grateful Dead concert t's with my cutoffs and Birkenstocks.  It wasn't the most glamorous look, but I was showing my love for the band and thought I looked totally cool.  Good news, now you CAN look good and pledge love to the band.  I'm obsessed with this Chaser LA remake of the European tour in a sexy womens body.  You'll see me in cutoffs again this year too, they are big for summer! http://www.shopverucasalt.com  

Getting up Early

How amazing was our WGN segment this morning?  The Veruca Salt staff did a great job on this morning's broadcast for the Around Town segment.  The van arrived just before 6am and everyone was bright and shining, ready to go! Check out the segment:

Perfect Pants

Do you avoid buying those comfy, cozy sweats because they run too long and don't think spending money on tailoring sweats is a good idea?  Or, do you avoid the same sweats because they are so short they may as well be capris?
English Muffin is your perfect solution!  The pants are all a 36" inseam and you just take a pair of scissors and cut to your desired length.  They are made with a special fabric that won't snag, fray, or shrink.  English Muffin comes in two styles and four colors.  Don't forget the matching hoodie.
