Burnt Orange, Ivory, and Blue


I caved. Found a great deal in my size on Ebay. Then it went on supersale on the katespade.com website so I would have caved anyway. What's more American than being excessive and indulgent? Sort of kidding... I'm not the best at being a patriot when hard-pressed. But I did feel a lot of national pride when I stumbled into a restaurant that stocks the Coppola Winery Sofia (which is blanc de blanc in a pink can with the most technologically advanced straw I've ever used).


Ever since I heard that this absolutely ridiculous product existed, I've wanted to check it out. It was decent. I wouldn't spend restaurant mark-up prices for it ever again, but if it was on special at the liquor store, I might bite again because of the novelty.

Hope you have a Happy Fourth!

Yay!  It's so you!  I LOVE it with the orange.  And now I hope to be able to cave on one of my own someday...

Yay for caving.  That dress is so very you, I knew you needed to end up with it :)  It looks great on you, especially paired with orange!  Happy Fourth of July to you Jess!

Yay for the pretty Kate Spade dress! You know - I generally enjoy Sofia, but I've had it served in the can (as well as from a glass bottle), and found that I couldn't get past the tinge of tinniness when drinking from the can. Did you notice this or is this just me? Maybe it's mental....

Oh, I love this dress so much! And the Sofia cans are fun, but pricey even at retail.

The Kate Spade Violetta Shirtdress.  You splurged.  I've had my eye on the Striped Jillian. I'm a new Kate Spade Aficionado. Do you find that Kate Spade runs very large?

Enjoy the Lovely State of Maine.  My place of Birth.  

Wine in a Can with a straw.

That dress is beautiful especially paired with burnt orange.  I like your spin on the patriotic colours!  I had to laugh at the wine in a can.... and now I must check them out myself.

Glad you got the dress at a markdown. I just love when that happens (I refuse to buy most things full-price now). You look fantastic in it - stripes never go out of style!
