Happy Wednesday and 4th of July for those celebrating today! Did any of you take some days off this week? I didn’t but I notice that the traffic going and leaving work each day is so much lighter. Everybody must be out at the beach having fun.
We’re taking it easy this holiday morning and I booked us for a spa day. I’m being extra nice to my husband after I may have tricked him into seeing “Magic Mike” with a misleading description (it’s from the director of TRAFFIC!) over the weekend. He doesn’t keep up with new movies and thus had no idea what it was about – suspicion began to dawn on him when a) looking around he noticed the audience was 95% female, and b) many of those females began hooting and hollering even before the theater lights dimmed. But considering that I watched the last few releases of the Transformers franchise with him, I consider us even. Right??
Old Navy shirt (similar here)
ASOS skirt
Chanel bag (love this one)
Miu Miu heels
VCA necklace (similar here), Hermes bracelet
Anyway…here’s what I wore yesterday, in honor of July 4th at the office. I love these gingham heels and think they’d be perfect for the 4th but I probably won’t wear them for fear of a BBQ sauce related accident. I usually spray my leather/suede shoes to make them water resistant but I’m not sure about silk taffeta – does anybody have any tips?
PS: I know that Wednesdays are usually an interview post on the blog, but this week I switched it up a bit. The interview will go up on Friday this week, and it’s with a fun one, so check back then! Have a wonderful holiday (if you have one today)!

Those shoes are amazing! You look great!
you look very nice! xoxo
Oh I’m having shoe nightmares with all the rain just now, I’m down to about two pairs that can actually go outdoors, no more suede or silk for me, ok? Stop me if you see me reaching!
Loving the heels!
LoL I can’t believe you took your hubs to see magic mike. My bf would have killed me. How did you both like it? I took my bf for high tea one time and told him there are other guys there. Normally there are guys, but the day we went it was practically all females. Haha. Happy 4th!
Happy 4th of July! Your outfit is perfect, I especially love the Chanel bag and the gingham heels. Do you take your pictures using a timer or does your husband do it for you? Just curious.
hahaha poor him! But I do believe that you’re even now!
I love your miu miu heels! And they look great on you!
Traffic on 101 is always bad… I can’t wait until they finish all the road construction! Very cute outfit! I recommend the kiwi suede/fabric spray they sell at nordstrom rack. Ive used it for a pair with the same material and its done a pretty good. Happy 4th!
Happy 4th!
Yayy you posted about your Miu Miu gingham heels. It’s so pretty in person and reminds me of Dorthy from Wizard of Oz. How timeless and classic!
I absolutely love your Miu Miu and you look fabulous!

Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector might work although you may want to test in an indiscreet area first.
Ah, thank you! I will try that
None of my friends want to see Magic Mike. I’ll just wait. Also love your shoes, I wonder how you could protect fabric heels from being damage.
You look great! look fwd to the interview Friday, have a wonderful rest of the week and happy July 4th!

You look lovely!! even I use the water proof spray for leather and suede. The spray lasts only for a while, so you’ll have to reapply it periodically.
Love this outfit! Those heels are supercute! And you know I love that VCA necklace!
happy 4th of July to all of you there!!!
you did a beautiful choice for this outfit…
i just love the shoes and your bag
take care. greetings from Italy.

Cute outfit! And re: Magic Mike – you and your hubby are definitely even. haha
Keep calm and carry lipstick.
You look so lovely Kat
I love love love the shoes!

Your outfit is far more glamorous than the one I wore to Lil L’s school Jubilee event. I was rendered speechless when I found out that I had to wear a white/blue/red outfit.
Nice look,
awesome heels!
you look like a classy school girl that i ready to kick some butt. does that even make sense? lol
I love how you look is so chic and patriotic at once. The gingham heels are so cute and perfect for summer.
Cheers!
This is so beautiful!! I love the blue and white and of course the heels. xo, Christina

The gingham bit looks very fresh!
If you were made to watch “Transformers,” you are definitely even!
Hahaha right??
What a great outfit! It looks SO comfortable, yet so put together! Your heels are gorgeous! The shape makes them look so elegant, but the print adds an element of fun
Happy 4th of July Katherine! I know that your shoes aren’t red, but they remind me of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz anyway! I think I may trick my boyfriend in to watching Magic Mike by telling him it’s about Michael Jordan (he’s big on basketball). Hopefully it works, haha!
Great outfit like always! Btw, those heels definitely look like BBQ-ready but you are right, we just won’t wear them to the actual BBQ
hehehe that’s how we are. I can’t help looking at your VCA necklace, you wear it so classy.
Oh my goodness, you tricked him into seeing that? That’s brutal, and kind of hilarious.
I love your patriotic outfit, particularly those freakin’ adorable shoes!
May the force be with you.

Happy 4th of July! I know my wish came late and I’m very sorry about that. You look great for a day off and out.
It’s always good to treat you partner well for some other reasons! Lol! They’ll give in =D
Hehe that was tricky of you! Great outfit! Love your red Chanel!!
These Miu Miu heels are so chic, and very Americana.
And thanks for stopping by my blog and following – I’m following you, too!
Great white/red/blue outfit! Love the color of your Chanel bag…makes your outfit so classy! Hope you enjoyed your July 4th
Love your outfit, sophisticated at it’s best and I’m drooling over those stunning heels of yours!
