Super Moon Fiesta
Though last week’s rain stayed far away, this weekend was completely gray and overcast, preventing any sunkissed outdoor fiestas and super moon gazing from happening. As someone with a bit of an obsession with the moon (and fiestas), you can only imagine my disappointment (huge thank you to some of my readers for sending me photos of the super moon from where you are!); so I compensated for the lack of sunshine and giant moon glow by throwing together a midday fancy shmancy outfit with a sparkly clutch that reflects everything. Who needs a super moon when you’ve got dozens of mini moons on your bag?
And while the fun outfit was definitely a pick-me-up, it wasn’t long before I was back in jeans and a t-shirt for some quesadilla eating and margarita drinking — both of which played a crucial part in making up for the solar system’s NYC absence.

Lace Me Up
While at times it can look cheap or slutty, when worn correctly, lace is one of those fabrics that highlights a woman’s femininity and/or sensuality. Nothing feels quite as sexy as wearing a lace bralette, and nothing feels quite as dainty as a mini white lace dress reminiscent of the innocently seductive Lolita. As much as I love buying vintage lace, I find that it has often yellowed or is falling apart, and although it’s hard to find brand new lace garments that don’t look cheap or cheesy, I’ve managed to find a few styles that I wouldn’t mind having in my closet.
