Resort 2015...

Hi guys,

So I know that I've been incredibly inconsistent with my fashion coverage but I've decided to do a look at my favourite resort looks anyway. I've been very inspired by this season's resort, something about the colours and the attitude... I don't know. Anyway, below are some of the things that I hope will make their way into my closet next summer. Did you guys have any favourites? I'm always interested.
-Bea




Designer: Alexis Mabille
Why: It's the ruffle at the waist. I think it's absolutely perfect. It's sorta like a peplum but better... and you know how much I love peplums. Plus, it's a great colour and I'm always looking for more yellow to wear.

Designer: Carolina Herrera
Why: I love the simplicity of it. It's such a wearable dress and yet it's so feminine at the same time. I also love the slightly modern floral print with the touch of yellow, it'll make matching this dress so much fun.


Designer: Jill Stuart
Why: I don't know is this is a top or a dress or what but I love it. It's so sweet and easy. It reminds me a lot of what Hannah McGibbon did at Chloe for Spring 2009

Designer: Nina Ricci
Why: Lace overalls... Who wouldn't want to get their hands on those? Imagine it with a sweet printed blouse and matching cardi... add some Charlotte Olympia kitty flats and you have a winner.


Designer: Honor
Why: I absolutely love this line. It's so freaking late 60's that it's crazy. I love the long sleeve underneath too, as you know this is a look that I'm fond of.

Designer: Erin Fetherston
Why: Every season Erin puts out a dress like this and I buy it every time. I like the fuller skirt on this one though. This might make the perfect dress to wear on my birthday next year.


Designer: Jenny Packham
Why: Okay, so a couple years ago Kate Middleton wore a yellow Jenny Packham shirtdress number to some event in Calgary and I fell so absolutely in love with it that I searched everywhere for it, I came up empty handed and it's one of my most disappointing misses. This beautiful pink beaded number however might just make up for it. With it's slightly 40's silhouette and the amazing navy details... love.

Designer: Elie Saab (left)
Why: Okay how amazing is this jumpsuit? I adore everything about it, from the wide pleated legs and incredible waterfall sleeves to the insane beaded v-neck bodice and the dreamy mint colour. I love this... however I have a feeling that it'll look better on my mom. I could totally see her wearing this, in fact I think she had a similar grey one when I was a kid.


Designer: Honor
Why: I love the colour! I am also crazy about the little top. So freakin' pretty. This line reminded me of like an incredible Valentino/Dolce & Gabbana lovechild and that is not bad at all.

Designer: Paul & Joe
Why: I don't know what it is about this collection but I love it! It reminds me a bit of what she wore in 'Cheerful Weather For The Wedding'. I could totally see Dolly wearing this.


Designer: Paul & Joe
Why: Those shorts shall be mine! I am so crazy about these. It's the print, that crazy amazing seaside print. I love them with the adorable little flower belt.

Designer: Paul & Joe
Why: Again, I know. I just love this though. It so much like the 40's style things that came out in the 80's. I think however, that this'll probably be something that I buy for Willa. I can totally see it on her.


Designer: Valentino
Why: Okay, so I'd have absolutely nowhere to wear this incredible dress but it's so beautiful that I just had to put it on here. Can't you just see it? Lounging around in Santorini wearing this? I'd feel like a 1970's Greek princess. So pretty.

Designer: Valentino
Why: This dress however, shall be mine. It is so much fun! I just love it. I'm not quite sure how I'll wear it but I have no doubt that it'll be fabulous.

A Dark Heart Is Beating And Waiting For You...

Hi there,

Time for part two of my massive outfit post. Sorry, I had to wait until after work to post it as lunch came and went quicker than expected.
By the way, was anyone else pissed that there was no 'Game Of Thrones' last night. I was like legitimately mad, until I saw that they were showing 'The Normal Heart' in it's place and I was like 'okaaay...' because in my opinion Jonathan Groff is the sexiest gay man ever. And before you even ask, yes, I did cry like a little girl. I'm also watching a new show called 'Penny Dreadful' which is basically a less PG version of 'The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. I have to admit that I'm actually loving it... even if I spend half the show hiding under the blankets... I'm a chicken, I admit it. It was even worse because Ben is away so it's just me in this scary house... with the scary TV show.

Please Don't Confront Me With My Failures, I Had Not Forgotten Them...

Hey there,

Do you guys know those days when you wake up just feeling like total shit? That was me this morning. I slept in until about 10:00... I know, I was totally shocked too. I usually get up at 5:45 on the dot every morning but not this one. Apparently, I needed the extra five hours. Anyway, I woke up after having just the most horrible nightmares all night, with a horrendous headache and a puffy face. I'm not entirely sure what the deal was but... I'm blaming both the disgusting weather and a late night viewing of The Bletchley Circle on Netflix. I tried to go on with my day, I showered, got myself dressed nicely, worked on the new Birds And Beas line for the summer and talked to Willa on the phone for nearly two hours. For those of you interested, my genius, darling little sister is doing wonderfully out at Cambridge and has even scored herself a man. I knew it wouldn't take long before one of those smart university boys caught on to her beauty and wit. Anyway, I'll be meeting this mysterious Daniel during the summer, when they fly into the Hamptons. I'm pretty excited. Anyway, between my marathon morning and my terrible headache, I am now currently, back in my pajamas and am about to watch my favourite movie (About Time) while curled up on the couch. What can I say? It's the weekend, so I'm calling this day a win. Ooh! My lovely husband has just brought me home a Wendy's Frosty... did I ever mention that I have the most wonderful husband ever? Back off ladies, he's mine!

If You Wear This Night You Can See Forever...

Hi all!

Sigh, okay so... I'm here in San Diego right now visiting my family for spring break. I meant to post this right away but I've just been far too busy having a good time to bother. I'm here now though and I have a major outfit post. I like these spring break trips because they give me a chance to figure out how I wanna dress for spring and summer before they actually start. Apparently cardigan sets are the thing for me this spring... keep it posted for examples.
The last few days have been lovely, the sun is shining... well at least more than it is back home, the kids are excited and everything is all rainbows. I've spent my days lounging around, going out for dinner with my bro, and having a very much needed spa day with mom. Coming up we'll hitting the California attractions with my little sister, niece and nephew, First up, Sea World and then if the weather holds up this weekend, we'll do the zoo. I may have done a little shopping today as well...*shrugs* what? Hope you're spring break is as awesome as mine!
-Bea

(Ps. Listen to the song below... I am so obsessed, it's been practically on repeat. Marley and Ruby love it... I'm trying not to think about how I currently have similar musical taste to a 3 year old girl.)

My Hands Are Shaking From Carrying This Torch...

Hi everyone...

Happy Saturday. Yesterday I went and saw the new Hunger Games movie and man let me tell you, it was good. I cried through about 90% it. I really enjoyed the book but seeing it alive was really amazing. I highly recommend seeing it.
I also spent a small fortune on the new Orla Kiely Resort line. Everything was just so cute that it was hard to choose what I wanted. I'd imagine that this is just the beginning.
