It was a bit muddy, but the New Yorkers still came out in full fashion for the Governors Ball. What is it? A 3-day music festival on Randall's Island. Take a look.
The resort wear collections are always some of my favorites, and Stella McCartney's 2014 collection is no exception. I love her style and the party theme was adorable. Here's a few photos of the star studded event and the gorgeous collection.

Last year about this time I blogged about eyelet. This year, I'm still loving it. I'm even wearing it to a wedding this week. It's so summery and light. It always looks pretty and stylish. Here are a few of my favorite pieces this month.
It's summer so that means bright, beautiful colors everywhere, even on your nails! Some of you who know me already follow my Pinterest board--Fabulous Fingertips. If you don't, check me out. Here are a few of my favorite recent pieces of nail art, courtesy of my fabulous manicurist, Mimi. Enjoy!

My Inspiration
Behind the Inspiration
Many of you might not know I began this blog after being so inspired by Marilyn Monroe and all she was. I'm in love with old Hollywood and Marilyn embodies everything about it that I am inspired by. Who better to inspire me? Over the years, the blog has become less about Marilyn and more about me, my love of fashion, and appreciation for life, however I won't forget the inspiration that started it all, thus the name, "Blonde Episodes."
Blonde Bits By Marilyn
"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."
"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."
"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."

"All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same."
"A career is wonderful but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."
"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
