I love this slightly different take on stripes with the ruffled edge. I styled the shirt with white jeans, my cork clutch (that is in constant use and is a bargain on J. Crew Factory), and my orange driving shoes (for a pop of color).

I love to dress up my (daily) denim with a blazer. This preppy plaid version is perfect with a white tee, pink clutch and my favorite denim (that is on sale). The look still feels casual and breezy with just the right polish.

Tall stems and long days – it’s Summer! Sunflowers scream summer to me with their bright yellow and stems that seem to grow forever. I am enjoying the longer days even if it does seem to make it impossible for my seven year to go to sleep. He like, me wants to chase the light. We take a later walk and scooter ride with the dog stopping along the way to smell the flowers.

After coveting this bag (also here) and waiting for it to arrive, it did not disappoint. I have been wearing it nonstop with everything and it holds everything. I styled it with this fun pineapple blazer from J. Crew, white denim, pink sunglasses and gold espadrilles.

Love, stripes and a birthday weekend lunch with my mom at Flower Child. I was happy to have my favorite kale salad with salmon before all the celebrating and cake eating commenced. It was perfect June weather and just right for a cotton sweater and skirt. I love this striped sweater with patches.

Last year I wrote about the The Privilege of Getting Older. I still feel like it is a privilege even as this year flew by (I know that is such a cliche, but seriously, time is moving at warp speed).
This weekend is my birthday which also signals the official start of summer and the longest day of the year a few days later. My son finished First Grade this week and we spent the first day of summer at Legoland followed by swimming. Life is good. I am lucky and I have a lot to be grateful for.
And who doesn’t love great birthday presents like this Cult Gaia Ark Bag (also here) and Samantha Sung dress? I also found the most comfortable Stuart Weitzman sandals in navy with a frayed edge. The dress is versatile, so comfortable, well made with important details like a snap instead of a button in just the right place. I have already worn it with flat sandals for a more causal look.

This stretch seersucker blazer has quickly become my most reached for blazer. It has the perfect amount of give to make it comfortable in the shoulders while still being fitted. I styled it with a larger stripe with this Saint James tank, white jeans and a fun pear clutch.

Love is Love. In addition to supporting Gay Pride this weekend, this rainbow mani just cheered me up every time I looked at it. Who doesn’t love a rainbow? After rain, it is a beautiful surprise. A rainbow, like love, goes with everything.
The colors are Essie Gel Couture “Haute to Trot”, Essie Gel Couture “Fairy Tailor”, (also available with Top Coat here). The rainbow was made with Nars “Night Out”, OPI ” Live Love Carnaval”, Essie “Mojito Madness”, OPI “Big Apple Red”, and Essie “Clambake”.
