via The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist spotted this chic (and probably sweaty) chick on 11th Ave, inspiring me with my new favorite color combo.

While I fear she was one cool breeze short of a heat stroke, can you imagine wearing this for the transition to fall? I've never had the desire to wear a romper until right this second, but the colors are perfection and the chunky cable-knit sweater instantly grows-up the peachy one-piece.

Does this look inspire you? Are you loving these colors as much as I am?

I've really been into utility shirts lately (if you follow me on Twitter, you'd know I just scored two vintage Dior blouses for $20 each!), and when I saw Liz's version, I just had to re-create it. I adore the revealing yet non-scandalous bralet, which is a perfect subtle-sexy balance.

Even if you aren't as daring as Liz, the shirts below are sheer enough to wear buttoned-up and still give the right amount of attention to the less-often admired.

Reiss silk utility shirt, $150 / Miso floral bralet, $40 / Current/Elliott skinny jeans, $272 / Zara leather heels, $50 / Kenneth Jay Lane chunky necklace, $150

Unif utility shirt, $66 / TopShop tie-dye bralet, $14 / Hydraulic shorts, $28 / Minnetonka moccasins, $50 / American Retro river hat, $99

Madewell utility shirt, $110 / Topshop sunflower bralet, $40 / Jovonna maxi skirt, $104 / Sam Edelman lace-up wedges, $193 / American Rag braided belt, $100

What do you think? Would you give any of these looks a try? If not, I'd love to hear how you would style it!

Violent Lips Temporary Tattoos

Would you consider temporary tattoos.. for your lips?

Violent Lips gives edgy vixens another opportunity to decorate the face with 50+ anything-but-boring designs. Applications, which I liken to Minx for your face, come in packs of three for around $15 and last 4-8 hours. Its YouTube video makes the process look pretty simple, too.. what do you think?

I definitely think I could get behind this pink leopard print (which is incorrectly named cheetah-print.. remember the difference?) for a concert or party night!

Just a few images that I've been looking to for style inspiration this summer. I'm feeling like a colorful hippie lately! Have a beautiful weekend:)

Mrs. O shines in Tom Ford

Did anyone catch Michelle Obama absolutely killing it in Tom Ford at Buckingham Palace?

Yessir. This is how you rock a state dinner with the Queen! The criss-cross halter neckline and long gloves work together to highlight her toned arms, and the sash detail is perfectly placed to emphasize her figure.

Anyone else loving this look as much as I am?

Isabeli Fontana in Vogue Paris

How beautiful is Isabeli Fontana on the June/July cover of Vogue Paris? I'm loving the use of color, here--her gorgeous skin tone against the ocean-blue wall and jewel-tone dress, the striking eyes and pale lips.

Inspiration: Sydney Fashion Week

I would definitely rock this high-low look.

Bright skirt, bag and sunglasses paired with neutral sweater.. I love.
