Stripes // Stripes

I hope you all are having a great week. L is here in Minnesota and my husband and I have been celebrating our birthdays, so please excuse the lack of posts lately :) Life has just been so special and a good sort of busy! Today's look is a favorite of mine for exploring the farmers' market on the weekend, meeting a friend for coffee, or simply for running errands. And each item is a closet staple for me and items I gravitate towards so often - you can't go wrong with stripes, chinos, and birks. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Casual Lace

I am loving the hot weather, it finally feels like true summer here in Minnesota. I was inspired to wear one of my many summer cocktail dresses that I have accumulated over the past couple years due to the many weddings we have had :) So even though I may not have as many reasons to dress up this summer, I still want to wear all of my dresses. So I combined a casual jean jacket, flat sandals, and an everyday handbag. It's an easy look, perfect for a coffee date or happy hour. "Cas" down those dresses ladies for extra use in your wardrobe :)

Palms + Stripes

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, Brendan and I have been busy getting ready for our MN vacation. Next week we get to meet out new nephew Connor for the fist time! I will definitely be packing these incredibly comfortable palm pants from TB, sadly they are no longer available online but you may have some luck store side! They are perfectly on trend with their wide leg silhouette and the print is tres chic!

Linen

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful 4th! 

I've been drawn to linen this summer, the fabric is breathable and light and with the high temps we have been having in Seattle it has been perfect. I'm still able to feel put together without overheating! This dress is a complete steal now an additional 60%. I'm also loving this linen number from H&M. Do you have any fabrics you gravitate too in the summer months?

Red, White & Blue

This summer is flashing before my eyes! I cannot believe the 4th of July is this Saturday - anyone else feel their summer disappearing?

I'm sharing a festive look in honor of the 4th, who doesn't love a little red, white, and blue around this time of year. I just picked up these linen shorts from J.Crew and love how comfortable they are. I'm not a huge fan of shorts but when I do buy them I look for light weight materials and elastic waists;).  Have a lovely 4th!

Scarf Shop Love

I am so excited to be showcasing my Scarf Shop scarf today! Martha McQuade is a Minneapolis based designer who creates absolutely beautiful scarves made of the finest fabrics. I have had my eye on this beauty forever and finally purchased it. It has been my go-to item in my closet ever since. It is a stunning scarf that lays just perfectly and is a great addition to any outfit, no matter the season. I purchased the wool cloud scarf, because winter seems to occupy the most time here in Minnesota...unfortunately :) But there is a diversity of other fabrics and colors to choose from. I know you will love these scarves as much as I do, and what a beautiful gift idea for a loved one too! Have a great day everyone!
