Glittering Fools

Spending the day by the pool after the last few crazy weeks of nonstop work. It's so nice to just enjoy the weather without having to rush off to something else. Summer is coming to a close, but thankfully Dallas weather will allow for some more off-days like today. A Few of My Pool Day Essentials 1. The perfect suit Mara Hoffman Pow Wow bandeau bikini Lolli polka for Bow bottoms L*Space yellow Audrey fringe top L*Space turquoise halter bikini 2. A good sunscreen Kiehl's sunscreen 3. A book you can get lost in I Hate To See That Evening Sun Go Down by William Gay 4. Something to cool off with Homemade Sangria & a fully charged phone for Pandora

On Day 3 I got to see Dolce Vita's resort collection and I am obsessed. My favorite pieces were the leather dresses and skirts as well as a stunning pair of mint sequin shorts. I discovered a new jewelry collection called 31 Bits. All of the line's paper bead jewelry is handmade in Africa. The glittery bracelets and statement necklaces would be perfect for adding sparkle to any outfit. 1. Dolce Vita little pink dress 2. Dolce Vita's collection 3. Dolce Vita jacket 4.

Every couple of months I assume my role as a FIGlet. For 3 days I get dressed by different designers while helping out with Fashion Industry Gallery's market. Representatives from different labels exhibit their line's collection and buyers come from stores all over to choose which pieces and how much to order for the coming season.

Summer is drawing to a close but bright jeggings, florals and accessories allow for bright and casual summer style to be carried into early fall. I'm obsessed with Rag & Bone's Jean collection. Their jeggings are so soft and come in so many different colors that its always hard to decide if I can justify yet another pair of colored skinnies.

LF's only sale of the season kicks off with everything in the store marked down 60%- shoes, jewelry, and other accessories included. LF's sale is a great way to score shoes by Sam Edelman, Jeffrey Campbell, and Steve Madden at a fraction of the original price. Below are some of my favorites that can be found on sale at LF Dallas as well as at other LF stores.

Yes, everything (except the furniture and the individuals who work there).
