Simon Miller's Summer Standout.   

The Junjo knit dress  in the color of orange sherbet,  is a best seller. I can see why.

Still have a special occasion this summer? I found the prettiest lady like dress at Banana Republic Factory. It comes in three colors, and would be perfect for a wedding. Love it in the ivory the best. It's now under $100.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is over on August 4th. Have you found a beautiful bargain yet?  I recommend taking a look at their Beauty Sale and Beauty Exclusives. I saved a lot on my Bobbi Brown Face Base.

Guy Day Friday: Found a couple of good buys at Banana Republic Factory that I know my guy would love: This Vegan Suede Vest. It goes up to XXL,  a great ivory Fine Wale Corduroy Shirt {was $75 now $21.97} and the Luxe Utility Blazer is casually handsome.

All the colors in the rainbow. Brighten up a kids room with with a rug that's a playful pick. The Crayola Dot rug is $117.
