Southwesternized.

Every girl knows that summer means maxi dress time; unfortunately, it can be like a fashionista "Where's Waldo" to find ones with unique or cute prints (trust me -- in any life). Which is why I so particularly loved this whimsical dog + lion stencil one that's new by Baiastice: not only is the print a fun mix of cute animal outlines, but this neutral taupe color makes it work so easily with any accessories.
Southwesternized. I added more pretty things from The Arcade for a southwestern touch (check out the scrumptious leather textures of this backpack!) as well as a bit o' East Coast color in the form of this scrumptious orange & vanilla ice cream, i.e., what's gotta be the quintessential East Coast summer treat (RL note here: if you've never sampled the rich, creamy, swirled heaven of icy orange creamsicle soft serve -- sprouted like an ethereal miracle from the seedy, bar-soaked boardwalks of the Jersey Shore -- you have not yet truly lived, friends).

And now for the headdress.
Feathered & Cameoed. It's already been blogged to death, but I just couldn't resist: the extreme degree of loving detail, the just-so angles of the scarlet head ribbon + side feathers, all of it is just too delicious for words. Plus you get a close-up of why Glam Affair's newest "Lulu" skin has so quickly become my (and everyone else's) absolute utter obsession. -- Even for those who already own Glam Affair everything: trust me. This one is, as my good friend Sophia Harlow put it, OMG Good.

Enjoy this round of The Arcade, which opens today! Your $L are toast, but good.

Southwesternized love + fashionista kisses to all!
