Chance Co.

 I have found it. I have found the mecca of sailor stripes and Americana summer fashion. It is an online boutique called Chance Co. Go here and you can drool too.

Red-Striped Bow Bag

Do I even need to explain?

Find it here.

Perfect Striped Tote

Darlings, take a look at this perfect tote.























Now, fall madly in love.

Now, look at the price.

Then, tell me why oh why the most adorable/perfect tote bags are always so flippin' expensive!

Then, remind me that if I want talented people to provide me with something that has chic style, quality construction and that mysterious wow-factor... it is going to cost me.

Now, commiserate with me and dream of an imaginary day in the future where we have so much money that cost doesn't matter.

Then, decidewith me that we can make a cuter one all by ourselves and skip down the stree with me singing zip-a-dee-doo-dah.

Thanks.

Outfit Idea: Sailor Dress

What is not to love about this dress? The stripes! The navy! The flutters!

I would throw it on with this pink cardigan:

A camel belt:

Some neutral high-heeled slingbacks to dress it up:

And some pearly starfish earrings for flare:

Voila! Perfect for spring!.... Or January, if you live here in Southern California, where it has been in the mid to high 70's with sunny clear blue skies for about a week.

We don't do winter. 

Signature Look

ps. If I became universally known for wearing sailor stripes and red lipstick, I would totally be ok with that.
