Nautical Stripes

Outfit Style Stripes are great for summer. I especially love navy and white stripes. Because of the fact that both the stripes and my capris were navy, I decided to add some color by pairing this outfit with my pink, sparkly Toms. All parts of my outfit are pretty casual, so they go well together.

Outfit Occasion I wore this outfit to lunch with my great-grandparents, my grandparents and my great aunt and uncle.

Blue Collar

Outfit Style I love how professional a bun and button down shirt looks. To dress it down I paired it with dark jeans that I rolled into capris and added flip-flops.

Outfit Occasion I wore this outfit to welcome my family and extended family to our house. They had been traveling all day and I needed to make sure that I was a sight for sore eyes . ;)

In Living (Water) Color

Outfit Style So, seeing that I packed only a few pairs of shoes this trip, I didn't have a huge selection to choose from. But, I found that the clogs worked out nicely with the 60s/70s vibe I had going on. I felt like I should be hosting a backyard garden party, complete with cocktails, pigs in a blanket, a swimming pool, and of course the two pink flamingos you see in the background

Outfit Occasion Yesterday, despite a very rainy Seattle, I spent the morning with my Aunt down at Pike Place Market. We caught up over croissants and coffee, before I met up with my good friend Nicole, to do some downtown shopping. We eventually headed over to U-Village for lunch and more shopping, which is when I scored this dress at H&M for a whopping $20. I was thrilled, to say the least, at the gentle price tag but mostly with how when I swirled around in the dressing room, I felt like I was a living watercolor painting. Both my Aunt and Grandmother (on my Dad's side) are talented artists, but my Grandmother mostly paints beautiful watercolors. This dress definitely reminds me of the many hand painted cards I have received from her over the years.

Chambray Romper and Cowboy boots

Outfit Style The weekend before last was the exact opposite, weather wise. The sun was shining, the birds chirping and the rain nonexistent. We went to the park for a picnic. I brought along Life & Style magazine, Subway, potato salad and homemade pasta salad. I'm getting hungry just remembering it all over again. I wore my chambray romper that I can't help but imagine Kate Bosworth owning a similar style. The studded ankle boots and chain bag were thrown in to add just enough edge to the sweet, light wash denim. Even though Spring and Summer are basically here it's still kind of chilly. Enough so, I needed the cardigan and beanie. As much as I miss Miami, summers there weren't always picture perfect. Most of the summer is filled with rain and way more humidity than any girl can really hope to handle. I don't miss wearing tank tops and shorts or flip flops April through August. It's nice bring able to layer and adapt to four different seasons every year. I do miss the beaches though...

Sundays Festivities

Outfit Style Sundays Festivities

Outfit Occasion Sunday evening was spent with family celebrating my Dad's Birthday, and was complete with yummy red wine, tasty food and delicious chocolate cake. For dinner I wanted to wear something simple but still put together-understated elegance so to speak-so I opted for my new Natori lace top, then added my tuxedo blazer, tan trench and my favorite pair of jeans from Target. To give the look a few extra special details, I styled my hair in a pretty chignon, and added some bright cherry-colored lipstick for a pop of color. HAPPY BIRTHDAY (again) DAD!
