Spring/Summer '13 Wardrobe Inspo

Now that it's officially spring and getting (even) warmer, I like to evaluate my wardrobe and what I'm inspired by in fashion right now.  Here are my current obsessions for my personal style this Spring/Summer 2013.

 
Quality Basics
For years, I just grabbed cute(ish) basics from Old Navy, Walmart, and Target but I must admit: I was forever disappointed with what I got. There was always something off with the design and even more off with the fit.  I started to look into getting less pieces at a slightly higher price and will NEVER go back to those crummy options.  Besides, spending $40 on a perfect tank top is cheaper than buying 4 different poorly made $14 ones that you don't love!  Above are my current favorite basics, perfect for LIVING in.  Go to brands? SWAK, Babooshka, and Rachel Pally.  Damn You Alexis also has some killer pieces.

 
Accessories in Clear, Hologram, and Iridescent
I've always loved futuristic styling and nothing says space ship like these materials.  They were HUGE on the runways, but I think translate well to regular life.  Also: what isn't fun about a little more sparkle & shimmer!?

 
Peridot
From eyeshadow to jewelry to fabric, this color (coincidentally my birthstone) has found it's way into my heart. I'm loving it for make up, particularly...eyes and nails!

What are you loving this spring/summer?

Linklettes

This week has been an odd mix of overly busy and bored to tears waiting...which makes for a confused sleep schedule and sore muscles. It also means inspiration is either FULL ON KICKING or in zilchland. Right now I'm feeling the later. Here are the few links I can muster up on behalf of this Friday's Linklettes post...I'm sorry, chubblettes. I promise to do better next time =)

- Paley Fest '11 True Blood Cat Interviews (Season 4 Tidbits)
I'm excited for season 4, because it coincides with my favorite book of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Also: I ALWAYS forget that Jason Stackhouse is really Australian...it's so much cuter than his Louisiana hick accent. Oh haven't you heard? I'm a giant nerd.
