Music Monday

I'm sure we've all watched the VMAs by now (it's On Demand). With today's playlist, check out my picks for best dressed at last night's 2013 VMAs. Fashion and music go so well together don't you think?

Left to right: Selena Gomez in Atelier Versace (my fave), Allison Williams in Valentino, Taylor Swift in Hervé Léger, and Shailene Woodley in Emilio Pucci (skirt).

Sadly, Miley Cyrus didn't make it on today's playlist- I think we all need a break.

Tribal Printed Romper

I recently found my new go-to nail salon (ALN Nail) at the Mosaic District in Dunn Loring. It just so happens to be in the same plaza as South Moon Under. After a well-deserved mani/pedi, I stopped by and found this adorable printed romper. Comfy and chic are two looks I enjoy combining; add in convenience and I'm in heaven.

Music Monday

Because I'm addicted to this track, I wanted it to stand alone on Music Monday. And in case you want/need a flower crown.. find it at ASOS. Perfect for festivals!

Splurge Sunday

I love shopping online (who doesn't?). Lately, I've caught myself splurging a lot online--and mostly on Sundays. With this, I'l continue to share cool pieces I find as I splurge on online shopping.
