Headbands

I love headbands.  No, scratch that. I luuuuuurve headbands in every way imaginable.    I have a lot of hair and headbands can sometimes make me feel as if my mane is manageable. 

InStyle featured some of Blair's lovely headbands. . .






And I should include at least one non-bow option of B's.



Lauren Conrad also loves headbands.  This yellow one works really well with her cute shoes!


Reese always has TDF hair.  This is no exception.
 
And the still ever so chic headband look of Brigitte Bardot.


L. Erickson has wonderful headbands.  Their classic Trixie Bow style is one of my favorites and it comes in lots of colors.



Last but not least, this is the headband I am wearing today.


Do you love headbands?  What is your favorite hair accessory?

One last week!

I cannot believe that this upcoming weekend is Labor Day!  Although I know that the old white rule is no longer followed to a T, let's use it as an excuse to wear lots of white all week.

These ladies looked wonderful last night at the Emmys in their white gowns!


For some reason, the slit looks really high in this picture. . .


And of course, my favorite couple (I'm continuing to say couple, I can't imagine them not being together) in Summer White


And a cooler-weather option.


Happy Monday and last week of summer!

Sunday Night Emmys!

I am a sucker for any awards show that includes a red carpet.  Tonight's Emmy Awards are no exception.  I cracked open a bottle of one of my favorite kinds of sparkling--Cristalino (very similar to Cristal, hehe) and am almost done with a lovely dinner.


For dinner, I made Rosemary Ailoi with Grilled Portabella Mushrooms with grilled red onions on my favorite bread--Whole Foods' seeduction.

Hope everyone is having a lovely and relaxing Sunday evening!

On Wisconsin!

Although I am back to school in Ohio, I do miss where I went for undergrad--The University of Wisconsin.  As sorority recruitment starts, I get very nostalgic for the wonderful times I had.

These women went through "rush" at the University of Wisconsin in 1958.  Oh how times have changed!


I also fondly remember the many many times I sat on this beautiful terrace.


Cheers to the last "summer" weekend before Labor Day weekend and everyone who is going through recruitment!  Enjoy it!  ;)

First Day of School!

Yesterday was my first day back to school.  Although I don't go too crazy buying back-to-school clothes, I am excited for my big Lilly box to arrive.  Yesterday I wore. . . 



One of my favorite summer dresses.  (Which got the compliment, "I love your people dress?" from a friend who wasn't quite sure what to call it.)


And a wardrobe staple, a J. Crew lightweight cardigan.  (I wore navy.)



With cute little sandals from Miss Trish for Target since I didn't have to walk too far.

Anyone else plan back to school outfits? ;)
