Here, There, Everywhere

Hey my friends!

I don't know if you know this about me or not but I love to travel. Seriously. On my way home from a getaway, I'm planning the next one. Thankfully, I have lots of fun trips planned for the summer so the wanderlust is somewhat satiated. 

I think I'm going to love traveling in this fringe-y cardigan. It's that perfect mix between not too hot and not too cold that keeps one comfortable on a frigid plane or a windy day. I'm sure I could also make it work over a swimsuit!

Have a happy Tuesday and do something that makes you smile.

Panama! Panama!

Hey my friends!

I hope you got the reference to Van Halen in my post title. I'm listening to the song right now because it's so fun and reminds me of summer. 

Speaking of summer, my heart has fully embraced summertime even though techincally it's still spring. I've bought all my swimsuits (coming soon to a post near you) and I'm planning all our fun getaways. 

I had been wanting a Panama hat for a while and finally found one that fits my head (because that is a struggle) and I love it! It's a perfect piece for lounging by the pool or as a fun accent to an outfit. I know I'll get plenty of use this summer.

What's your summer essential? Let me know!

Fare thee well

Hey my friends!

No I'm not ending my blog, so you can stop freaking out. (Although I'm so flattered you care!) 

Have you ever had a piece of clothing that you loved, but after a few seasons gets less and less use? You see it every day in the back of the closet and tell yourself that you couldn't possibly part with it out of loyalty and not because you actually still wear it?

This is my current state with these wedges. I bought them several seasons ago to wear to a wedding and loved them. They're surprisingly comfortable and made every outfit super chic. Not to mention that the color was the closest to actual "nude" for my skin tone.

But lately, I honestly haven't had the desire to wear them. They've been taking up space in my closet and I've been too sentimental to let them go. 

But it's time friends. So I'll say goodbye and remember them fondly.

April Showers

Hey my friends!

Never let the rain get you down as long as you have a cute umbrella. Am I right?

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of rain because it means no sunshine. No sunshine depresses me. I am a sun child if there ever was one. But when I think of all the good things rain brings, I have no choice to be grateful for it. Just look at how green the grass is! Thanks, Rain. You're ok.

Pattern Mixing 101

Hey my friends!

I LOVE this look. I actually discovered it in the Target dressing room. I was wearing this dress with a different very plain cardigan while shopping when I picked this one up. When I tried it on over the dress, I was shocked at how great they looked together! I wish pattern mixing always came this easy. Annnndd if you happened to notice, there is another pattern thrown in there! I'm outta control! Do you see it? First person with the correct answer gets no prize of any kind.

Summer Hauls

Hey my friends! 

So this post was very much the opposite of the last one. But what is life but yins and yangs? I think I might just be trying to make myself feel better because I really wasn't supposed to buy any of this stuff. You'll soon see why I couldn't resist.

Marshalls

Goodwill

J Crew

Eddie Bauer

Liz Clairbourne

H&M

Forever 21

Target

Such great stuff right? I really love the things I got from Goodwill (although I love them all). There is something about sifting through all the junk to find that one gem that everyone else missed. It's such a thrill!

I can't say that I won't buy anything next month because I'm going to London with my brother and obviously* I have get something right??

*in my best Snape imitation.

The Blues

Hey my friends!

Short and sweet today! As you can tell by my face, I was suffering from a migraine when my hubs took this pic so that's why there is only one. But beauty is pain and I really wanted to share this look because I love it. It's one of those that just came together perfectly! I love the way the blues work together. And this skirt! It's one of those pieces that I forget is hanging at the back of my closet and when I find it again it's like meeting an old friend. (Hey!! You again!! I love you!!!) I should try wearing it more. 

What do you think? Win for me.

Chambray and Coral

Hey my friends!

I was feeling overwhelmed at work today so I decided what better way to lighten my mood than take pictures? So the hubs and I (we work for the same company) took a walk around our office during lunch and stopped along the way to snap some photos. It was a great way to refresh before burying myself in audits once again.     

My outfit today is one of my favorites. Please excuse the wrinkles in my shirt and ID Badge. Those are not part of the look. I love how switching the normal (denim look on bottom, color for the top) can make an outfit interesting. The sunnies are my hubs'. They are so bright and fun! I steal borrow then so often I should probably get my own pair. But what is love for, if not to share?  I finished the look with some well loved leopard flats. What do you think? I love hearing from you. Seriously. Thanks for reading!
