California Girl

December 10, 2013 · 20 Comments

Romper – Tara Starlet
Shoes – I Love Billy
Sunglasses – Asos

A few weeks ago I went to the California Design exhibit that is currently on at the Brisbane Art Gallery. While the exhibit itself was a small and somewhat disappointing selection of vintage furniture and a few clothes, I did come away with interior design inspiration. A week ago I bought my very first set of mid century furniture – beautiful red leather 1960s Don Rex arm chairs!

    You are equal parts fabulous cute, chic and beautiful in this splendidly fun floral print romper/playsuit, dear gal. What a marvelous warm weather look – it's just the visual antidote I needed to the freezing temps we're waking up here today.
