The Mara Hoffman presentation encompassed essential Spring/Summer wardrobe staples. A tribal tone clearly prevailed. The mix of muted olives and mustard yellows married well with the pops of hot pink and lime green. The live South American music mingled fantastically among the palm trees, sand and mojitos. There was a cool, calm and casual air about the entire collection. Brava!

{I cannot wait for Spring to wear olive tone rompers}


{Keen on everything about this: heavy eyeliner, skinny belt, hat and beach hair}

{I must have taken 20 pictures of this dress.}

{Casual cool, I'm partial to the loose fit}

{Graphic print pants are all I want now}

{The esteemed Kelly Cutrone}

{Dreaming in color} - This was the day I spotted Kate Lanphear. She walked right by...
Inspired in part by her own personal style of dressing, Hoffman introduced what she called a "military gone native" theme. The collection featured vibrant prints with mystical and ethnic influences.
Today is my Birthday. Excited for NCFW tonight and a romantic dinner. Thanks for all the wonderful Birthday twitter messages. :)

Love the crochet number...and I totally agree about the beach hair. A messy bun is also another great way to do your hair when you're having a bad hair day and need a simple but still chic solution!

Happy Birthday Erika!!!:) May you have many more shoes!!!:D and birthdays of course:)
I love it! Am I mistaken, or is the first image the same one the Sartorialist shot of light jacket and long legs? I had to do a double take, but it's quite similar :)
Nice collection! I almost feel a bit sad that the summer is over but for sure it will be worth waiting for next summer.
