June Favorites

June 04, 2014




Oh Hello Wednesday… so happy to see you!  It's hump day peeps, lets get excited!  Today's favorites are what I like about June.  A great bag to carry to the pool is always fun and the brighter the better.  It has to be colorful and deep enough to hold plenty of water, towels and lotion!  This one is perfect, and the great thing is it can also be a great running errands bag!   And speaking of running errands I love to throw on a maxi and go.  It is effortless and makes you look polished even if you did forget makeup!!!  

I recently purchased a pair of cutoff jean shorts. I love how versatile they can look depending on what you pair them with.  Throw them on over you swim suit… put on a pair of wedges and a tank with a few long layering necklaces, or a tee and flip flops… however you style them they always work!  You need to add a pair to your summer line up for sure.  And don't go too tattered and torn with them, I know that's the style for some ages, but too much distress and they are difficult to dress up!  I have posted about espadrilles a few times and how I love them.  These beauties are lace espadrilles so that makes them a double score for the win!  So feminine and pretty in the white.  Don't you love them?   

So what are your June favorites?  I want to know what you are looking forward to this month!

Hi it's me… remember me?  Yeah I sorta haven't blog in the past few days.  I have been deep in my thoughts and in my own head a little too much to even be on social media or even read my favorite blogs. A few instagrams here and there, but that's about it. Nothing I can't handle, or even haven't started working thru, just personal life stuff and it was a well deserved break.  I felt super guilty and hated it every single morning when I woke up and knew I didn't have a post ready to go. I love my little blog and love all of you.  Thanks for sticking with me!  I don't share too much personal here and really don't plan on it. Life isn't perfect, I'm not perfect, and I sure don't want to ever represent a false sense of reality with my life.  Life happens and we grow from the experiences!  I may decide to write a little about in in the future, but for now just know sometime god places people in your life for a reason, and sometime that reason isn't even about you rather it's for their benefit!  

  I want to go into the week with this business casual outfit from last week I wore to the office.  I had a few meetings out of the office and this little number just felt good!  I love the crisp feel of a button down.  Although this is not a true button down rather an oxford I love it all the same.  The contrast color and cuffs adds such a dressy feel to it don't you think?

Four Favorites

Happy Wednesday friends!  I was missing yesterday but I'm back today with my four favorites.  A couple of colorful things have caught my eye and this maxi dress is one of them.  I love love love the colors in it and the design would be so slimming.  Speaking of slimming…. pools are open and than means cute bikinis!  This darling terry bag would be perfect to keep in you beach bag to contain your wet suit for a) the drive home so you don't have to sit on a towel, or b) you are headed out for a while and don't want to be wet all day in your suit.  Love all the colors to choose from too.   

How many times have you sucked pulp thru your straw from fruit in your water? I know I have and the first thing you want to do is spit!  Ummmm….. hello? That's not so lady like!!  This Citric Zinger  allows you to press lemons, limes, and even clementines directly into your water.  An all natural free of sugar drink .  Pretty cool huh?   

Ok…. This wedge is fab…u…lous!!!  Nuff said. 

 Oh, and I am glad to be back!  I missed you after the long weekend! Don't forget I am linking up today here, here, and here

Happy weekend

May 23, 2014


Happy Friday! I don't know about you, but Memorial Day weekend has always  felt like the official start of summer. The pools open and kids are on summer break.   I plan on relaxing and enjoying my deck, although the weather looks a bit overcast and rain is in the forecast!  

Thank you to the men and women who are the reason we celebrate this holiday in the first place, and to my son who is a soldier.   Whether you're in the States or not, I hope you have a relaxing weekend and spend some quality time with family and friends!  I'll be back in action on Tuesday, when real life hits again.   Until next week... xo
