Fresh and Flowy

There's something about crisp white cloth against tan skin in the summer that looks so great. Now I can't get too excited about this because I haven't been poolside yet, but soon I will be showing off my sun-kissed skin--which hopefully will hide my shorts/sock/racerback tan lines...Well, a girl can hope!

Sweet n' Sporty

I had a really nice adventure this weekend getting a free cupcake (banana split- yum!) from the best place ever....Georgetown Cupcake! Some of you might know it better as DC Cupcakes from the TLC show, but it's the prettiest, pinkest, and most delicious shop in all of Georgetown (which if you don't happen to know is located in a little city called Washington, D.C.) On our way home we spotted a Mother Goose-esque house with a garden on the roof! 

Anyways, as everyone should know, the olympics are in London this summer starting on July 27th. For their June issue, Vogue teamed up with olympic athletes and model Karlie Kloss for an awesome photo shoot that showcases the athletes and their sports. (See it here) It seems like everyone else is thinking about the olympics too, I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal about Olympics inspired sporty ensembles such as Tommy Hilfiger, Kenzo, and Isabel Marant. So although I haven't caught on with this yet, I've still got about a month to warm up to it. Until then, GO team USA!

Stop. It's Peplum Time.

//American Eagle top//Gap shorts//Rainbow flip-flops//Tiffany&Co necklace and bracelet//Nordstrom sunglasses//

I've decided to slowly work my way through this season's new trends, beginning with the peplum. For those of you who are not sure of what I'm talking about, I'll give you the rundown. A peplum gives a little extra umph to any outfit and is so "in" right now. It's a flirty, flouncy, and fun addition, but it also works well as a built in napkin if you spread it out, which came in handy on my picnic this past weekend. 

I was lounging in the grass with sunnies and my sun hat on, when the traveling circus showed up! Just kidding, it was just a trapeze school. But hey, they're pretty good!

Shine Your Pearly Whites

//LOFT cardigan//Madewell tank//Madewell shorts//Style&Co flats//Fossil watch//

Sometimes I find it hard to figure out what goes with these shorts because, even though you can't tell in the picture, the pattern is in a distinct off-white colors rather than pure white. Usually I pair it with a tan or beige shirt and gold accessories, but this time I decided to switch it up. Since my jewelry is pearl with little bits of silver, I think it works because the silver isn't too much (except my shoes).

By the way...Happy May!

So my day today went something like this:

When I woke up it was raining...

...and then it stopped.

So I was all like hmm I'm dressed for the rain though...

...but then I thought...

...oh well...

....just enjoy the sun!!
