I know not everyone is enjoying spring/summer-like conditions this week, but we’ve finally hit the 80s in the ATL. The sun and warmth had me digging out my summery dresses and shorts. But even if you aren’t wiggling your toes in the sunshine and clinking glasses of sweet tea, I think this week’s outfit helps you feel like you are.
This week’s inspiration: the new Goldfrapp album! I got my copy from one of my favorite stores in Decatur, Heliotrope (check out their online store here).
Large sunnies, a dash of sequins, a brightly colored jumpsuit/romper, and a pinch of electronica je ne sais quoi, and you’re good to go!
Check out the full Polyvore here. I’m eying the magenta Matt and Nat clutch and the oversized studded clutch/purse from moxsie.com.
I love Alison Goldfrapp’s style, especially in these album shots below (all images courtesy of their blog):
What do you think?
I hope this brightens your Monday morning a bit! Give Goldfrapp a listen here if you do need a lift at work or school and forgot your magenta romper at home.
P.S.- I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Cath and I spent it with friends and family eating my mom’s fabulous cooking and knocking Easter eggs (a post with complete explanation and photos to come soon!).
That dress and blazer are so cute!!

I love her music but will admit that I’d never seen photos before. What style!
I remember when someone was like “i’m over studs.” just kidding you couldn’t write about Goldfrapp and not have at least some studs.
Haha! Good catch, J! I’m always scared someone is going to call me out on all of my blogging inconsistencies/hypocrisies, but it’s never happened. until today 😉
Goldfrappe doesn’t help me channel summer, but these bright colors are super fun. And, I need to head over to Moxsie to check the shoes!
I just bought a grey sweatshirt top from F21 (why can’t I say not to the combo of grey & sweatshirt-ish material?) and I’m hoping, on my frolic through the Rosebowl Flea Market this weekend, I stumble upon a jumpsuit. It seems I’m on my way to Goldfrappe loveliness.
I can’t wait to find out more about those Easter eggs.
I didn’t realize that her name was Goldfrapp! I thought it was one of those funny madeup band names. And I can definitely see why you admire her style. Very classy but rock n roll.
I LOVE her last dress, that is awesome.
Man, I need some Polyvore inspiration myself.I need to figure out what to wear to Coachella! I think I’ll be sequestering reader’s opinions by week’s end 😛

I can’t forget the time a British tabloid called Madonna “Oldfrapp”!!!
Hello sisters! I like her style and what you did in Polyvore. It has a retro and 80s touch that i like.
