LBD + pop of blue.

tgif.

ending the week with a little black dress that is perfect in every way. the ever-so-slight hi-low hem takes it a step beyond a sundress making it appropriate for a night out, while its tank top style and gauzy material are still casual enough for coffee and lunch. versatility is key. in addition, the simplicity of this dress makes it the perfect counterpart to these pretty, detailed heels.

what do you look for in an LBD?

any big plans for the weekend?

speckled knits + laces.

news flash! new faves here!

(as if you haven't heard that before!)

it's rare that i use exclamation points, so you know i'm seriously excited when i use them. in addition to being a pretty shoe, the laces on these JustFab Vernon heels are an added bonus for my narrow feet; i can pull them nice and tight for a snug fit. plus, all of its details add oomph to a simple outfit.

it's also crazy for someone in hawaii to love sweaters, but my obsession is finally paying off this year. just as everyone else was experiencing harsh winters, we had our share of chilly weather, which provided lots of opportunities to bundle up. i love speckled knits (see here, here and here). even though i still consider them solids, like this gray one, the specks add dimension to otherwise "flat" colors.

do you like speckled knits?

do you have any impractical obsessions?
