AHHH A break from the madness

Today has been great, much calmer than the last two days...or maybe I'm just in denial!

As I may have mentioned before, my part time assistant gave her notice and this Friday is her last day. My boss has graciously granted my request for a full time assistant and the flood of resumes has been overwhelming to say the least - at least 400 resumes since Friday morning. So, needless to say, my eyes are crossed from reading so many!

But yesterday I narrowed the field to about 50 and today I start making phone calls. I'm allowing myself a little reprieve this morning, however, because something amazing has happened.

Summer has come to L.A.

Yesterday I believe we had triple digits here and now my thoughts are turning to the summer wardrobe I should have had already put together but just couldn't be motivated to work on...I mean, it did rain on Saturday...in L.A....in July. How can that motivate? Also, here is So-Cal we tend to have our summer run from mid July through October...and sometimes extending into Thanksgiving. Try cooking a turkey in 90 degree weather. Not fun.

So the weather has finally heated up...and I am starting to see all of the holes in my wardrobe. No espadrilles, no casual work-appropriate skirts (minus a denim pencil skirt), no summer pants.

I know, what a problem right?

So I've been looking around for the perfect pieces and here's what I've come up with:

I love this skirt because it's simple and classic...and $25!


Silk with printed cards around the hem - so cute!


This skirt reminds me of 1950s souvenir skirts.


I love this ivory Generra skirt. Pleating, pockets, and crisp cotton.


Another easy to wear staple from Banana Republic. I love this in the slate blue color.


For summer pants, I am looking for something lightweight and in a breathable fabric. Here are some of my favorites:

Alloy skinny cargos, similar to the coveted J Brand pair. Only $40


Summer ease makes me feel fine! Lucky Brand linen pull-on pants. Gorgeous!

Lightweight, pockets, fabulous. Also $40 and today is the last day for extra 20% off!


And who doesn't love seersucker in the summer? Beautiful!

Happy shopping! For sure I'm getting those skinny cargos!
