I am so over winter.  And the sad part is, it hasn’t even gotten started in earnest yet.  I’m not sure when I went from being a Montanan who thought temperatures in positive digits were a tropical heat wave, to a prissy East Coaster who shivers when it’s 45-degrees outside, but here I am.

Clearly, I’m dreaming of summer.

This cocktail, a combination of bourbon, thyme-simple syrup and blood orange sounds like the best of summer and winter mixed in a glass.  And how gorgeous is that color?  It reminds me of…

DvF Eon Peplum Sheath Dress ($465)

…this dress from DvF that has been haunting my dreams for a few days.

The sculpted neckline, the unexpected mix of colors and the bright skirt are truly crush-worthy.  It’s certainly one-of-a-kind.

Finding something similar in a lower price point was not, NOT, easy.  In fact, it proved impossible.  So I chose to focus on the bright coral/orange color that drew my eye.

This fitted dress has a origami-folded peplum and comes in a brilliant orange-red.  If you’re looking for a minidress, this coral sheath is pretty hot.  

Like the color but want to rent not own?  This Robert Rodriguez dress from Rent the Runway is fantastic.
