Style Crush: Elena Perminova

Photos 1-8, 9, 10-11, 12

Weird, she has like pretty much my same exact outfits.

Oh wait, no.

Pretty sure we could be BFF though Elena, pretty sure.  Just saying.  In case you're wondering, she's: a Siberian-born Russian model, married to a media mogul Russian billionaire, 26 years old, a mother of two, a BFF to Miroslava, a designer darling ... oh, and my new style crush.

Who is your current style crush??

What is everyone up to this weekend? We are headed off on a road trip to Tennessee today to see our friends get married!  I can't believe their wedding weekend is here! I always look forward to road trips and plane rides because it's the perfect opportunity to catch up on emails, to-do lists, and other really important things, like reading Vogue. Don't you agree?

PS - I'm looking for guest posts for the week of May 27 - email if you're interested! tiffany@tiffanystyleblog.com

Happy Birthday To ME!

via

Don't mind me, I'm just celebrating my birthday today! 

Today should involve:

champagne

cupcakes

flowers

a beautiful dress

Last night was Girls Night Out birthday celebration and tonight is all about the dinner date with the hubs.  This weekend we are celebrating our good friends' wedding in Tennessee! And then NEXT WEEK we depart to Spain, Italy and France! Needless to say, things are pretty busy!

Speaking of my travels, does anyone have any suggestions of things to do in Barcelona, Naples, Rome, Florence, Marseille or Palma Majorca? Or requests for me to check anything out? I'm going to investigate the custom shoemaker in Barcelona.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Thursday!!

Vacay Inspiray

Can jean shorts be chic? Hmm.  Since we are leaving next week for our Mediterranean vacation, I've been putting outfits together nonstop, and looking for lots of easy breezy outfit inspiration.

This might come as a shock to some of you, but I don't really "do" jean shorts. Weird? I probably haven't owned a pair since..... Middle School?? Maybe? I'm not really sure but it just hasn't really been my thing.  Usually in the summer I'm wearing more dresses, skirts, and colorful shorts. I'll just come out and say it. I've been a bit of a jean short snob.  They don't pass the would-kate-middleton-wear-this test. My sincerest apologies to any jean short lovers.

But then, just when I least expected it, the jean shorts skies opened up, and I happened to be inspired by this photo of Miroslava (because aren't we all?) ... and then I happened to find the most comfortable, amazing-fitting pair of jean shorts.  Those words felt weird to type.

Jean shorts. What am I doing with my life.

Whatever, I'm going to be on the beaches of Barcelona, Spain next week folks and I think I need to get a little wild and crazy.

Shop The Look:

Fun side note: This blog is almost 4 years old and I just had to actually add "denim" to one of my labels below, I didn't already have it listed. Wow.  That is how often I am concerned with denim.

The Go-With-Everything Summer Heel

Steal: Anne Michelle available at fab'rik, Deal: Zara, Thrill: Manolo Blahnik

If you need a great basic sandal to go with everything this summer, this is the style for you darling! You can even get it at every price point, and in NUDE or BLACK.

I personally picked up the STEAL, because ya know, they're $26 and I needed them for an outfit that day. But I love the way Emily at Cupcakes and Cashmere wore the Zara's in the nude version.  Everyone from Rihanna to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been spotted wearing the "chaos" Manolo's.

If you're looking for a go-with-everything heel of summer, this style is my pick!

Happy Great (Gatsby) Friday!!

Dress: Ark & Co via fab'rik, Shoes: Jimmy Choo, Bracelet, Necklace, Earrings, Brooch turned hairpiece: All vintage jewels provided by Admiral Row, Clutch: Urban Expressions via Nordstrom (borrowed from Miss Beanie)

  

I mean, we truly couldn't resist.  Fellow blogger Miss Beanie and I attended The Great Gatsby premier Wednesday night and used it as a major excuse to play dress up...

This is the weekend to bust out the following:

fringe

vintage baubles

fur stoles

jewelry

more jewelry

anything beaded

more beading

tassels

tassel necklaces 

sparkles

cut your hair into a bob

strands of pearls

strands of diamonds (??)

I also recommend saying things like "how gorgeous!!!" and "I'm paralyzed with happiness!".

The hairpiece I'm wearing is actually an awesome vintage brooch that I'm obsessed with!! Admiral Row (based in Atlanta) has the most fabulous vintage jewels. Check out their website.  Special thanks to them for all of the amazing vintage jewels I wore! 

The movie was amazing, and I can also recommend the Great Gatsby soundtrack (which I'm listening to right now). 

Happy weekend lovelies! I'm paralyzed with happiness!

Current Top 4 Wardrobe Staples

Shirt and jacket: HM, Skirt: Target (leopard is sold out but there are different prints), Shoes: Zara, Necklace: Zara, Watch: Michael Kors, Clutch: The Limited (old)

My "go-to" pieces kind of rotate out over time, and I've noticed I have a new crop of staples that keep showing up.  Here are my top 4 items that I've been mixing and matching lately.

A Great Graphic Tee: for a whopping $12, this cute tee is going to get mixed and matched all summer.  I have to be honest, ever since Pink Peonies did this post, I've wanted to get my hands on every graphic tee I see. (Check your local H&M for this tee!)
A Staple Leopard Piece: This is one of those fabulous Target finds, the same day I found The $13 Dress.  Since leopard is now basically a neutral this baby is going to get tons of wear.  I had several leopard tops, but this is my first leopard bottom, and I can already tell it is going to get print-mixed all summer long. I love versatile, handy finds like this!!! I think I paid a whole $7 for this staple. A fun printed pencil skirt can go from work to brunch to church...
Metallic Shoes: These.  Zara.  Shoes. Are. So. Comfortable. And. Go. With. Everything.  End of story. I mean, I've pretty much been wearing these since last Thursday.  The best thing about this influx of metallic shoes is the going-with-everything part, but pick a comfortable pair and you've got your workhorse shoe of the summer.  Since they are silver, that brings me to my next item.....
Gold/Silver Necklace: Assuming you've hopped aboard the mixing metallics train, a piece that ties everything together really polishes the look.  Ever since I got this half gold, half silver choker from Zara, it's been the glue bringing my gold jewels together with my silver shoes.  Because we know I am loving some shiny ponies of the silver variety.

That wraps it up.  What are your workhorse pieces right now? 

Is anyone else going to the Great Gatsby premier tonight in Atlanta? Miss Beanie and I will be there and we are having a lot of fun putting together our outfits!!!
