Thyme in the Ranch

I had the nicest afternoon and lunch at Thyme in the Ranch, my Mom’s favorite lunch spot in Rancho Santa Fe, on her birthday eve.  Thyme in the Ranch is so charming and the food is delicious.  They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the decor is filled with florals, so I wore my latest J. Crew Bee shirt in my favorite blue and white stripes.  The challenge to wear pink had been a great way to add more pops of color to my looks.

Pinking into Fall

I love seeing fall clothes in the stores, but it is still summer.  We are enjoying the last week of summer with a getaway and lots of beach time.  J. Crew’s recent roll out with all the pink is amazing.  The Drake’s prints are so beautiful.  You can read more about their history and the process here.  I continue to enjoy the challenge to wear pink.  I love this Drake’s shirt with pops of pink in the cardigan and my new J. Crew Jane sunglasses. The white denim pencil skirt still makes it feel summery.

Blue Herons Taking Flight

This blue heron t-shirt in my favorite navy blue inspired a leaping photo shoot.  I had to include a pop of pink with my Gemma Paisley flats to meet the current J. Crew challenge. Speaking of challenges, this post is my 100th post!  I’m definitely jumping for joy over that.  When I started this blog just over four months ago,  my goal was to publish five days a week. Thank you for following along.

Stripes and Liberty

I am fully embracing the recent J. Crew challenge to wear pink.  My new J. Crew Jane sunglasses are such a fun shade of pink.  I added a pop of pink and green to my new favorite Liberty shirt (that I previously featured in this post Fiddlehead Farm ) with a preppy pink and green striped long sleeve tee. This white denim pencil skirt is quickly becoming my new go to and is perfect for pairing with fall looks to still feel like summer.

Mani Friday – Pink Daisy Edition

I am loving all the pink in the new J. Crew collection and their challenge to wear pink for five days.  I decided to be bold and use a color on my hands that I would normally only wear on my toes.  I am loving this bright pink and the adorable daisy nail art.

 

The color is “Kiss Me, I’m Brazilian” by OPI.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Happy Friday!

In the Pink

There is nothing like pink to instantly lift your mood.  The latest rollout from J. Crew is all about pink.  They issued another challenge.  This time to wear pink for five days.  As you know, I am more of a navy and leopard girl, but this pink look put a spring in my step.  I am loving my new paisley Gemma flats with the neon trim.  My Ryan sunglasses in blush are the perfect neutral.  This neon t-shirt I picked up on sale last summer, but I have linked something similar below.

Tropical Blues

Today was the first day back after two weeks on vacation.  I was almost late dropping my son off at science camp (I am usually early) because he and were researching and planning our next vacation early this morning. We want to get one more family mini-vacation in before the end of August.

These shorts remind me of vacation and make me feel like I am on vacation.  I bought the necklace in deep pewter a few weeks ago and featured it in Stripes and Paisley on the Vineyard.  I picked up the necklace in bright hibiscus this weekend because I love it so much.  It gives a substantial pop of color while still being easy to wear, feeling substantial and light on the neck, all at the same time.  I love the two together.  My favorite gold espadrilles are on promotion (details below) along with the shorts and hat.  The t-shirt is on sale and comes in a bunch of colors.  It is breezy and easy to wear.

Into the Preppy Wild

My final outfit for the J. Crew challenge has a preppy twist with my sweater around my neck.   I decided to go matchy matchy with the shirt and shoes.  I wore this Ratti “Into the Wild” print four other ways in these four posts: Tropical Gold, Party Pants , Tropical Stripes , Going Bananas,  and Into the Wild and Off the Shoulder

Tropical Gold

About a month ago J. Crew issued a challenge to wear one floral print five ways.  I chose the Ratti “Into the Wild” print.  I featured the print in these three posts: here, here and here.  Today I am styling the ruffle-sleeve top with my favorite white jeans and gold espadrilles.  Stay tuned for my fifth look next week…
