Floral Platform Pumps Are Part Naughty, Part Nice! (thefind Guest Post)
From our friends at thefind.com:
If you thought floral was a print suited for only spring fashion fare, guess again! The latest trend in sky-high platforms is ready to transition you from summer to fall with feminine florals that are festive and fun but don’t look out of touch, out of style, or out of season! If flower-printed pumps sound like a little “too much” for your taste in any other situation, don’t reject these particular revamped styles just yet! Instead of being too sugary-sweet like many floral or ditsy prints often can be, these flowery fashion statements toe the line between naughty and nice by off-setting their girly exterior with an edgier, bad-girl-style chunky platform. With a bolder silhouette, any fashionista can pull off these pumps, whether you’re a girly girl at heart or a statement-maker with your eye on the highest heels. Pair with your favorite jeans to vamp up your casual look, or add a little summery style to your go-to little black dress!

Mexico, Part I: Linen Shorts on a Hot Hot Day
What do you wear to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza, on a very hot June day? Beats me, but let’s start with a pair of shorts! There’s nothing quite like lightweight linen on a humid summer day, so these Kenneth Cole New York Washed Linen Shorts, (were $79 now $20!!!) courtesy of the brand came to be the perfect garment to stroll around the ancient Mayan ruins, temples, and ball court found at this incredible site in Mexico. Paired with an Alternative Apparel v-neck tee, Le Tarte bikini, and classic Toms shoes, I was as dry and as cool as possible. And don’t worry – I also had on SPF 50!
