I know early summer is the time for bright colors and airy textures, but I'm in the mood for all things dark and mysterious right now. From abstract prints and muted tones, to gold accents and sleek surfaces, this is what's currently on my wish list:1. Fornasetti Sun chair, $3336 2. Morgaine Alexandra cuff, $75 3. Michelle Armas Ochi print, $20 4. Aminaka Wilmont dress $414, 5. Mi Piaci Gina bootie, $250
Thrifted top, vintage skirt & jewelry, Da Me hat, DKNY heels I took some time to do my little DIY trick on a rarely-worn oxford, and paired it with one of my favorite vintage finds: a full black and gold print midi skirt. I saw this skirt peeking through the rack at some thrift store or another, and it immediately reminded me of something an elderly Russian lady in a head scarf would wear

Something about this look at the Miss Unkon show feels perfect right now; A single flower bathed in light has a very calming effect; The idea of a (non-working) cardboard camera is oddly intriguing; This is clearly the most realistic clock EVER; I've always been partial to this Julian Louie x Aldo collection even though I couldn't find it locally; Clearly, I'm not the only one who believes that cake = art.More inspiration at stylesample.tumblr.com!

On Friday, me and FriendBoy headed to Kings Island after work--y'all know how much I love Kings Island--to get our Season's Passes (thanks, Mom!) and, of course, hit the roller coasters. Also, there may have been deep fried foods with zero nutritional value and a towering blue ice cream cone. Maybe.On Saturday, I hit the OTR Summer Celebration to enjoy the warm (hot!) weather and some refreshingly tasty sorbetto. I TRIED to go to the
Plastic Island dress; vintage shoes; hand-crocheted clutch made by a friend; Forever21 ring I'm not usually one for bright colors (even though I'm trying, I swear!), but a pop of hot pink does wonders for even the most sedate color schemes. Apparently, my girl Barbie still wields a fair amount of influence over my sartorial choices. Have a great weekend!
