Sweet Summertime

If you have already been to the beach this summer, than I am extremely jealous of you.  I have been taking a summer class, so I haven't been able to make it to the beach yet this summer.  I have, however, been able to go to the pool some, which has been wonderful!  Although, I have to be so careful that I don't get sunburned... but despite this I still love being out in the sun during the summer!

{Swimsuit, Flip flops, Bag, Sunglasses, Sunscreen, Lip balm}

For those of you who have been reading for a while you probably know that I am kind of obsessed with straw bags during the summertime.  I have a straw bag very similar to this one from Target and I use it all the time!  It is the perfect bag to take to the pool or beach.

Vineyard Vines has a great selection of swimsuits this summer.  I particularly love this one {well, I actually love them all... how can you not?}  Tory Burch has a great selection of adorable flip flops that are perfect for any summer outfit.

Being extremely fair with blonde hair and blue eyes does not make for the perfect combo outdoors.  My eyes are super sensitive to the sun and I have to be super careful so that I don't turn into a lobster.  So, I pretty much never go outside without a pair of sunglasses! I have a pair of Ralph Lauren sunglasses from a couple of years ago (similar to the ones above) that I wear everyday.  I would die without them!

It is very important not to forget the sunscreen when you're outside for long periods of time.  Even if you don't think you need it, you do! You can get sunburned on an overcast day and the sun can still damage your skin if you're not getting a bad burn.  So be careful! Remember to pack this Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunblock, it's perfect for the beach or pool.  But, don't forget to put some SPF on your lips too!  I particularly love this Sugar Lip Treatment, it is one of my favorite summer essentials.

Happy Summertime!

jubilee.

This weekend Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee festivities began.  I'm sure you can tell that I love all things Royal Family.  I wish I was in London to watch and celebrate Queen Elizabeth's big year, but sadly I have to be in the US, so I will be watching it all unfold on TV.

But, if I was in London, I would wear this adorable light blue and white striped Anthropologie sundress.  It's a little chilly there right now, so I would need a sweater or jacket.  I would opt for this Jackie cardigan from J.Crew or maybe this kate spade new york 'nera' colorblock mac coat.  In good 'ole British fashion, a hat is a necessity and I love this red straw hat from J.Crew.  Any sundress looks wonderful with a pair of nude heals (plus they elongate your legs!).  Nordstrom has a great selection of nude heals perfect for a variety of budgets.

Will you be celebrating the Diamond Jubilee?

seersucker saturday.

Since it's Memorial Day weekend, I figured it's a perfect time to bust out some seersucker.  I love wearing seersucker.  I wish I could wear it year round (since I live in Florida and it's always warm!), but sadly I like to (kinda) fallow the rules.

{wedges, clutch, bracelet, dress}

I love these tan Ivanka Trump 'Brisa' Sandals.  Even though they are a little tall for my liking (3 1/4 inches), they are classic and great for dressing up sundresses in the summer.

During the spring and summer I love caring pretty much any kind of straw bag! This Melie Bianco 'Anya' Clutch from Nordstrom is a great (reasonably priced) straw clutch that is perfect for church or a quick outing with friends.

I love throwing in anything nautical to complete the 'summer look'.  This anchor bead charm bracelet in ivory and blue from J.Crew is a perfect accessory for any summer outfit.

Brooks Brothers is (in my opinion) the all time best store for all things prep! This seersucker dress is the perfect thing to add to your preppy wardrobe.

Happy Saturday!

floppy hats.

I used to not be a hat person, at all!  But, recently I've fallen in love with all kinds of hats.  Baseball caps are great for blocking your face from the sun, but floppy hats are just plain fun!

Big colorful hats aren't just for the Derby!  I wear this straw hat from J.Crew to the pool and I recently wore it to an art festival at home.  I think floppy hats are fun for all sorts of occasions.

headbands.

I do love headbands.  They are an easy way to complete any outfit.  Vineyard Vines and J.Crew have great selections of preppy headbands.  Unfortunately, I have a horrible habit of collecting a million...  I wear them all the time!  I mostly wear the skinny ones (they don't seem to hurt my head as much as the thicker ones sometimes do), but I do love the way the thicker ones look.  Headbands are a great way to add an extra spark of style to an otherwise plain outfit.

Mother's Day Gifts.

It's almost Mother's Day and that means it's time to start thinking about what to buy your fabulous Mom.  I always have trouble finding the perfect Mother's Day gift.  When I was younger I would sometimes make a gift or my Dad would simply buy her a gift and put my name on it.  But, now that I am old enough to do my own shopping, I must search for a gift that my Mom will love and that I can afford. 

Sometimes, it's hard to pick out clothes or shoes for someone else without knowing if it will work or not.  But, if you know that your Mom wears the same size in a specific item, then you can be pretty sure that your gift will work.  If you aren't sure about what size to get (or if your Mom wears different sizes depending on the item), then I would recommend getting an accessory item like jewelry or a handbag. 

Here are a few ideas for dear 'ole Mom.

What are you going to get your Mom?

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

I love shoes! {Well, how can you not?}
 

Unfortunately, most of the shoes for sale are either crazy looking or have 6-inch heels (which is just a little uncomfortable haha!).  Not really my type of shoes... so needless to say I have trouble finding shoes that fit my style (and tiny feet... I wear a 5.5!). 

But, a great place to look for shoes is Nordstrom.  Nordstrom is seriously my all time favorite department store, they are so accommodating.  They will go to the ends of the earth to make sure their customers are happy.  In July they are having their annual anniversary sale, which is the best time to shop there.  You can get next seasons items on sale before the season begins!  It's a great concept.

Well, if you're looking for some great summer shoes... here are a few of my picks for the season!

Jack Rogers 'Bahamas - Jelly' sandal

 I love Jack Rogers, they are classic and go with just about everything during the summer.  These new Jack Rogers jelly sandals are perfect for the beach or pool.  It's perfect, now I can take my favorite sandals with me everywhere.

Kate Spade 'fawna' sandal

Clearly, Kate Spade new york is one of my all time favorite brands.  It's a little too expensive, but it's so cute! Sometimes it is worth the splurge or if you can find it on sale it's even better!

Tory Burch thong sandal 

Tory Burch makes great shoes (and they usually come in my size!).  Her flats and flip-flops are so cute and versatile.  All of her shoes come in just about every color under the rainbow and are perfect for many different occasions.

Lilly Pulitzer Set in Stone Sandals

If you have been reading for awhile, then you probably know that I love just about anything from Lilly Pulitzer! Although, some of it is too expensive, I always go on the site and lust over it anyway.  These shoes are so cute, I hope I can find them on sale one day soon so they can make their way into my closet.

What is your favorite shoe store?
