palm leaves in palm beach

My boyfriend shot these photos of me when we were in Palm Beach a few weeks ago visiting his family. I thought, what could be a more perfect for palm beach than these outrageously amazing palm print bermuda shorts? Nothing, actually. How fabulous are they? Palm leaf prints are going to be my "thing" this summer, I already know it. 

Also, these Sam Edelman sling-backs? Snake print, metallic heel? I mean, come on....they're perfect and ridiculously comfortable.

My cargo pants from J.Crew are one of my all-time favorite purchases, simply because of how versatile they are. Yesterday, I wore them with Keds and a t-shirt while apartment hunting around NYC with Kitty. To dress them up for an early dinner, I traded in my t-shirt for this silk top (found for $15.00 in an LA boutique) and switched in my red Keds for strappy snakeskin sandals. I rocked the red lip (Kardashian Beauty Joy Sticks are my new addiction) all day & night.

& the signature jump that never fails

I have been determined to acquire this blazer since I spotted it at J.Crew earlier this spring. Being that it is a collection piece, it was a little bit out of the price range for a recent grad who just moved to the most expensive city in the country....so, when I found it on the J.Crew sale rack earlier this month it didn't take much to convince myself that it was meant to be. It's an amazing piece that I plan to wear through the fall and even into the winter when I need a bright pick me up on those sub-zero temperature, snowy work-days. Perhaps I'll need some neon snow boots to match?

After tagging this post I realized that I might have an over-the-top, sickening (perhaps even excessive) obsession with J.Crew...there are worst things, right?
