Looks like we're starting this week off with a lot of black! Here's a Summer evening outfit for those cooler nights where it's still warm. We haven't had many super high temperature days in Connecticut yet, but weathermen (and women) are predicting that will change soon. Personally I'm enjoying these days in the high 70s mid 80s. I'll get my fill of hot temperatures next week in Florida (yes, I'm going again...)

This top is one of my new favorites for Summer. I bought it a few weeks ago during one of Madewell's extra 40% off sale sales! It has "overlapping side vents" which give a nice breeze in the warm weather and show off just enough skin. I'll definitely be wearing this in Florida. I was tempted to order the light blue one last weekend but they sold out of my size.

P.S. Optional soundtrack for today's post: Summer Nights from Grease.

Top: Madewell, Jeans: FRAME 'Le Skinny de Jeanne' (Shopbop), Shoes: Jimmy Choo (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Chanel (Madison Avenue Couture), Sunglasses: Chanel, Necklace: bought in Santorini

This dress was one of my Roundabout Resale scores last Summer and it hasn't gotten as much wear as it deserves. I've been trying to wear the less-loved items in my closet more often so I pulled this out over the weekend. It retailed for $990 and I paid $80, my kind of deal!

Don't forget, you can still enter to win your choice of jewelry from Serendipity and Grace! The giveaway ends tomorrow!

This dress is one of my Net-a-Porter End of Season Sale buys! I bought this along with a Tory Burch bikini which probably won't be seen on the blog, we'll see. Both of them were featured in my wishlist post and made it all the way to final reductions so I scooped them up with some advertising money!

How adorable is the zebra print? I love that from far away you can't really tell, but when you get closer you see that it's hundreds of little zebras.  There is also a black and white version of the dress but I prefer the olive.  It is a nice loose fit and thin fabric, so it's perfect for those really hot days.

It's been a while since I did a daily inspiration post, but when I saw these photos of Emma Stone taken for The Wall Street Journal, I had to share! Emma is one of my girl crushes, I love her! She is so quirky and has a great sense of style and I'm obsessed with her hair. I actually brought photos of her for my makeover back in December 2013, but the stylist went another direction. That's what I get for doing a free haircut for a website (that they never even posted!) I haven't had my hair cut since.

I love the way they styled her for this shoot. I especially want burgundy/burnt red sweater by Bottega Veneta, the full purple look, Chloe patchwork poncho (which I could never pull off)

This outfit was my attempt at wearing a color other than navy blue...as you can see it didn't go so well! I ended up getting a little chilly and having to grab a cardigan and this one matched too perfect to not wear.
