on my radar

Good morning, lovely friends! I hope you're all feeling rested after the weekend, I know I am! Yesterday I took two, count 'em, TWO naps after a whirlwind wedding on Saturday, and I ended up sleeping in a bit this morning. I can hear my father now; "Sleep is critical." Amen, Dad! Whether it be client sourcing or just poking around my favorite retailers, I have been coming across some incredible pieces lately, so I thought I'd share the list.

First up, a romper that does double duty for a friend's wedding that I'm working and attending.

Sandals that stay firmly in place and are, in a word, on fleek.

Shorts that I can throw on to look like a functioning human being, as well as over a 'kini for Memorial Day beach outings.

A silly canvas makeup bag for bridesmaids and bride.

A cell phone holder for communication during long weddings.

Fancy and efficient sunblock.

A cozy tee by one of my favorites.

A carry on that will never get lost in the shuffle on our honeymoon.

What's on your radar lately? Do tell :)

xoxo,

Are you all as smitten with Alexa Chung's style as I am? Aside from her natural beauty, there's something about her effortless style that is just perfection. It's rocker chic meets hipster meets feminine. Tomorrow's the 4th, and I could show you a nice red, white and blue mood board of things to wear and picnic supplies, etc,  which would be awesome, but it's what every other blog out there is doing today, so I thought I'd mix it up. Here's what I would wear for the 4th if I could:

So lovely! Now here's the look for less:

shirt // shorts // bag // nail polish // glasses // sandals

It's about to be the freakin' weekend, friends! Have a great one :)

do-over daydream

Maybe it's the change in seasons, maybe it's this cup of coffee that I'm drinking right now, but I feel the itch to redecorate. Have you all seen the pictures of Tory Burch's home?

The moment I laid eyes on these pictures, I was obsessed with this wallpaper. Of course it's very expensive and "to the trade only" (which means that only designers are allowed to purchase the fabric), so not a realistic option for me, but…a girl can dream, right?

I think that living room is my favorite. Since our place is on the small side, I would put this wallpaper in our entry way only (please take the word entryway with a large grain of salt), with a fun bench like this:

And some fun hooks:

What do you guys think? Am I crazy?

PS- Please come back tomorrow to see round 2 of my shoot with Ashley Caroline Photography!
