Happy Friday everyone! Here is the second outfit I styled with AMI Clubwear (see the first one here). Kimonos are a new favourite layering piece of mine (also styled one here). They're fantastic to throw on in place of a jacket or sweater because they're incredibly lightweight and I love their boho chic feel. Bonus: they make any outfit look effortless.

To say I love this dress is an understatement. There was a week where I wore it three times because it's the perfect breezy, flowy piece of clothing I want to wear in the heat of summer. I paired the dress with these Sam Edelman sandals I scored at Nordstrom Rack in downtown Seattle when I was there last week for Jay-Z and Beyonce's concert. The shoes were promptly broken in after dancing all night in them (and walking an hour after the concert trying to catch a cab back to the hotel - ouch!).

Little White Dress

I have a soft spot for little white dresses. They're sweet, have a light, clean aesthetic, and are perfect for the warm summer months. Of course, keeping them clean can be challenging, especially for a klutz like myself, but it's worth it when you get to wear something like this pretty lace number with a fun fringe. That's what Tide to Go pens are for, right?

Cut it Out

Cut out details in clothing makes for an interesting detail that I adore. This sweater is made all the cuter with the cut out back and silk ribbon ties. And if you follow me on Instagram, you'll recognize these camouflage jeans I posted a few weeks back that I was debating whether or not to keep. As you can see, I decided to keep them. Thanks to everyone who helped me make my decision and have a happy weekend!

Channeling Carrie

{ Denim Jacket: H&M // YSL Tee: vintage via Front & Company (old) // Tulle Skirt: Ruche (sold out, similar here and here) // Shoes: Christian Louboutin // Bag: Chanel // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs // Lipstick: MAC "Candy Yum Yum" }

I'm officially ready to ditch the tights, as you can see here. It feels so good to go out with bare legs, even if it's still a little premature temperature-wise. To keep warm, my Spring uniform this season is revolving around my denim jacket (last seen here). It's a fantastic piece for layering and perfect for dressing down items like this tulle skirt. I'm definitely having a Carrie Bradshaw moment in this skirt (who can forget her iconic outfit from Sex and the City's opening credits?) and I love it.

According to the Pantone Fashion Color Report, Tangerine Tango, a bright juicy orange, is the bee's knees for Spring 2012. I must admit it's a great colour that's just as cheerful as its sunny yellow cousin, Solar Power. Lucky for me, I bought this orange tank last year during Zara's summer sale and now it fits perfectly into this season's wardrobe. Don't you love it when that happens?

Colour blocking was big in 2011 and the trend is still going strong this year. I never thought I'd be one to wear two bright colours together but it just seems to work when it's balanced with black and a neutral leopard belt. As the weather improves, I know I'll be turning to the bright hues in my wardrobe to colour block not only neons, but pastels too. Is this a trend you'll be trying this Spring? Let me know in the comments! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
