Best of… July 12

Oh my my my, oh my my my, oh my my my myyyyyyyyyy, July.  Oh my my my. My my. Oh my my my myyyyyyy July. July. July. Ju-ly. If you think I’m going slightly crazy, let me inform you this is a song by Mundy.  Yeah, I sing a lot.  No, I don’t think I’m any good.

Anyway, here’s my ‘best of’ for July, complete with my usual commentary and titbits, if you so care:

Hanelli, you are killing me.

Plait you hair.  Put on a pretty dress.  Take out your bicycle.

My search for the perfect hat hasn’t yet come to fruition.  It’s not too late- its still Summer where I’m headed.  Any suggestions?

Jules’ panama is from GAP.

This is a piece by Philip Lim. Anytime a dress is called a piece, I know I can’t afford it. The fold-over detail is creeping into a few different collections I’ve seen, including on the high street. I recently picked up this top at H&M with a similar flattering drape.

This here is (merely) a dress by Finders Keepers (meaning I can afford it- sort of). I’m going to write a whole other post to tell you about this brand!

Loafer-type shoes seem to be replacing the ballet pump.  Everyone was wearing them in Paris- those French girls, they know!

Polka dots and quite possibly the perfect pair of jeans by Zara.

Great inspirational pictures Thelma!

I don't own a pair of loafers just yet, but seeing this cool girl makes me want to go out and buy tons of them... and i love Sincerely Jules as much as you do... she always plays with simple looks and she manages to look unique.

:D

Hanneli! I just love her. And Rumi Neely, in her 'pieces' that I love but can only dream about. I'm dying to wear something a bit summery but this weather is so damp and dreary :( xxx

That draped tan dress is gorgeous... Happy August!

Erica said...

It's hard to find a great hat. I'd say keep looking and even try styles your not so sure about... you never know what might work (or won't) until you give them on your head.

Camila Faria said...

My new summer mantra: "Plait you hair. Put on a pretty dress. Take out your bicycle." Love it!

Ceciliette said...
