As the days of Summer begin to fade away, these images are my current inspiration.  I want to savor every last drop.

novella royale


Officially obsessed with the Ziggy clutch by Novella  Royale.  So perfect for the upcoming season with some 70's inspired duds.  I can see it looking really great with a pair of Dany platforms, a flowy maxi skirt, an oversized sweater, and a felt panama hat.

trouvé 'culton' bootie


I've had my eye on these Trouvé 'Culton' Booties for a few months now, and they finally went on sale at Nordstrom.  The unique heel and sexy lace-up front immediately struck me, but I was sold when I slipped them on and noticed how incredibly comfortable they were.  I think they'd be the perfect shoe for Fall, as they look great with leggings, skinny jeans, and even a fitted skirt or mini shorts paired with a chunky sweater.  Above, I styled them with examples of my go-to fall/winter outfits - lots of slouchy, cozy tops, scarfs, and fitted bottoms.  I think they'll fit in my shoe collection quite nicely.

first look: missoni for target



I know I'm a bit late on these, but I just had to share the eye candy.  This little tease has me so excited to see the line in person.  I know I'll be at Target first thing September 13th to get my hands on the goods.

red/hot


Sam Edelman Shoes, Frenchi Tank, Almost Famous Shorts, Michael Kors Watch, Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses, Yuman H&M and Alex and Ani Bracelets

The Sam Edelman "Novato" platforms are basically everything I could want in a red shoe.  They're made of the softest suede, have a ridiculously high heel, a sassy little peep toe, and the shade of red is absolutely perfect.  This man really knows what I like.

One of the coolest video projects I've ever seen.

"3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films."

"cycle tracks will abound in utopia"


"Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just about save the world." - Grant Petersen

Now that Dan and I are officially residents of Sanford, a tiny yet free-spirited town, having a bicycle is essential for day-to-day life.  We live in the Historic District and are less than a mile from downtown and the beautiful Lake Monroe, which makes our area incredibly bike-friendly.  It's so much fun to ride down to the cozy cafés, farmers markets, book stores, and numerous art galleries that dot the area.  Everyday I look forward to hopping on my cruiser and discovering what new adventure awaits us in our little town.  

Below, you'll see what has more or less been my unofficial uniform since the move.  


(side note: I wish more than anything that Marc by Marc Jacobs key chain was mine (it's sold out - ugh), and the Fat Tire beer is just so delicious that I had to feature it.. You've got to try it out)

thylane


I'm not exactly sure how I feel about children modeling and posing in ways adults typically do, but no one can deny the beautiful photos Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau takes.  The ten year old French stunner will surely be around the modeling industry for years to come - she already looks like a seasoned veteran.  Not going to lie, I'm kind of jealous of a ten year old.. I mean, that hair.. that skin.. those eyes!
