Blue + White Stripes with a side of Kitty

Hey everyone.. I got a cat! Ok, totally kidding. I'm not a cat person, but this little guy came right over to us as we were shooting these photos! He kept weaving in and out of my legs and then he literally just sat next to me for a good 5 minutes! It was kind of adorable! 

I wore this outfit briefly on a run to Barnes and Noble to pick up some of the books you saw in this photo (thank you to everyone who gave me great suggestions, if you are looking for book recs, check out the comments here)! I am sure as you are reading this, I am laying out in the sun with one of those books in my hand :) 

This outfit really isn't groundbreaking by any means, but it gives you an idea of basically a uniform that I live in on the weekends! I've had this shirt for years now and it's a tried and true favorite in my closet. Definitely a classic and a staple. It's comfortable, flattering and nice quality... especially for the inexpensive price! Every time I wear glasses, I feel slightly 'hipster', which usually isn't my thing, but I feel way cooler (and smarter) whenever I rock glasses... it felt especially appropriate to wear them to a bookstore. Have a fabulous day! 

Frock and Frill: Navy Embellished Cocktail Dress

Navy Embellished Cocktail Dress c/o

If  you want to feel glam, Frock and Frill is the brand to go for. I was unfamiliar with the brand until they reached out, and I am so glad they did. I'm their newest fan. The brand was launched in 2001 and is mostly offered in the UK, but their website as well as Asos and Modcloth also carry the brand and ship to the US! 

I was hesitant at first, when browsing because I'm not usually one for embellishment. However, the quality of the dress is gorgeous and not tacky at all. It's really a showstopper and the attention to detail is amazing for the price! 

I went out with friends in the city to celebrate a birthday last month and it was so much fun. It was a dressier restaurant and everyone was getting pretty dressed up, so I thought this was the perfect thing to wear... and it was! Navy is my favorite color, so I had the navy wrap on hand. 

As for the fit, the sizes run small. I would size up at least one size, if not two! There are a ton I am loving right now-- now I just need an occasion! 

Have a fabulous day!

Pleat Hem Top + White Pants + Jack Roger Sandals

First, I have to say HAPPY FRIDAY! Can you tell I'm excited? I've literally been counting down the days, 1. because I'm headed on vacay, and 2. this week has been insane at work... so so so busy! Glad to finally get a break (and SLEEP IN!!). 

Anyways, my sister, Callie, wanted to go grab ice cream last night... I (stupidly) went and put on white pants... because there's always a higher than average chance I spill when I am in white. Luckily, there were no spills involved! 

I was sitting in my freezing cold office, so I actually was glad to have this top on all day. This is a little 'trendier' and younger of a style than I normally go for, but the chiffon layer of ruffle really caught my eye. I think it'll be fun with skinny black pants and flats for work in the fall and winter. The back adds a really unique and flirty touch. It's under $60 and offered in several different color combos. It runs big. I am in an XS, and usually wear a small in most tops. 

We all know my obsession over these pants. They have a classic 5 pocket design like denim, but the material is like a stretchy chino. Not to mention, they are not see through at all and so comfortable! 

Today I am headed to Georgia to the lake! I am so excited to be with family and friends for a super fun and relaxing vacation. Be sure follow along via Instagram and Snapchat (SummerWind41490) to keep up! I'll have scheduled posts all next week per usual, but I won't be checking in here on the blog or e-mail as much as usual, so see you on Insta! Have a fabulous day!
