Amy Claire on Swirl

We all love Daily Candy. But did you know they've launched their own private sale website as well? It's called Swirl and suffice it to say I'm obsessed. I find that their selection is better curated than those of other invite-only sales (Gilt, Hautelook, and Rue La La to name a few) and more tailored to items I would actually wear or, more importantly, brands I can actually afford. Take today's sale on Amy Claire for instance: easy separates, cocktail dresses, and floor-length numbers for up to 75% off? Sign me up!

I'm seriously smitten with these oil paintings by Chicago artist Karen Appleton. I happened to stumble upon the last painting on Patterson Maker's lovely tumblr and subsequently fell in love with the rest of Karen's work. The colors are so beautifully nuanced and the subject matter nothing short of girlish whimsy. For more information, check out her website and her blog.

Happy Weekend!

What a week! These are two of my favorite street style photos because, in addition to the super sleek black get-ups,  they seem so natural. We girls are always walking arm in arm, chatting about n'importe quoi. Go have yourself a happy weekend full of laughter and girl talk! Do you have any plans?
