I’ve been a bit preoccupied. Busy, busy June! It’s been some wacky weather in Los Angeles. Thunderstorms, rain, and 60 degree cold (yes, that’s cold for LA). I’d say the end is coming but I’m not ready to go! Too much left to do, too many places I haven’t vacationed to and too many cute shoes I haven’t worn.
Just because I’m been preoccupied, doesn’t mean you guys should miss out on the good stuff! Compliments of DailyCandy

Personally I’ve been in a James Perse mood but that could be because it’s been so chilly in Los Angeles. If you end up at any of the sales, be sure to drop me a comment and let me know how it went. Thumbs up, thumbs down?
Happy shopping fashionistas!
