summer layers

Layering up for the summer? Never thought it was possible. But my penchant for white dresses has really gone too far (or not far enough?). Must. Get. More. (this, this and this - in white of course.)

Obviously the front of me wasn't feeling very photogenic during Costa Rica - but there's always something pretty magical about seeing a faceless photo (because it could totally be you).

Just a few snaps from the trip a few weeks ago, and I'm still missing it - shopping around Coco Beach, having my eye on these cute backpacks and having too big of a pride issue to give into high prices even after trying to haggle for 10 minutes.

good deals: the asos sale

floral print romper

leather bag with flower embellishment

scarf printed culottes

camo fern print backpack

velcro black flat sandals

Just a few things that I'd be spending my paycheck on - and they're all such a good deal. Because floral rompers and scarf printed culottes should be in everyone's wardrobe.

ASOS knows how to do a good sale. AND they're giving us 20% off full price items? Man, they love us.

There's nothing like a good thrift find that reminds you of why you loved thrifting in the first place. This shirt's gonna be in constant rotation with its subtle stripes. Also, I've added another pair of sunglasses to my collection of 2 and counting. I thought I'd be doomed to a life of aviators and wayfarers (which really doesn't sound bad) - but with the introduction of these slightly boxier Warby Parkers into my life, I think I might start venturing out. Maybe these Jaspers will be my next pick.

Rocking a vibrant giraffe print and a statement necklace with a few of my wardrobe staples - white T, strappy black sandals and my trusty Wang. #HMSummer y'all.

costa rica | 1

A few inches shorter, a couple shades darker and I'm back from Costa Rica guys! Here are a few snaps from the trip. I wore this Civil Clothing snapback because I've figured out that hats really do protect your face (even when worn backwards) and obviously had to pack my Westward Leaning sunglasses and Twistbands along with me for awkward, half naked but obligatory poolside. The resort was beautiful and the food (the guacamole is incomparable) was unlimited so don't be too alarmed if a couple pounds add onto my face. 

Costa Rica was just too beautiful to limit to one post. Stay tuned for another!

When you snip off 7 inches of your hair, it takes some time getting used to. By now, it's grown a little and I'm starting to like it. This Living Royal sweater fits perfectly into my summer white wardrobe and is airy enough for the New York summer.

cats on everything

That first picture was a gem, there was a lady passing behind me with a huge mattress over her head and Landon proceeded to start cracking up, so I did too. When I first got this swimsuit from Civil Clothing, I was apprehensive about how I'd be styling these two super adorable kittens. But it was 90+ degrees on this day, so it wouldn't have been more perfect to wear a swimsuit outdoors after slapping on a pair of thrifted, DIY distressed overalls.

Note: This is pre-Costa Rica and pre-haircut. So now I'm a little tanner and a little fatter from that damn buffet and unlimited guacamole. Yeah guys. I got a haircut. Prepare yourselves.

I never thought that a pair of vertical striped overalls would be a staple in my closet, but they kinda are. I wore these at least three times this week and totally not ashamed of it. But then again, you know me - anything goes with a grey T. 

I haven't been keeping up with the blog lately as much as I could be, but I've been brainstorming a schedule for y'all now that summer's coming up and there's more free time on the weekends - but hey, exciting posts coming up. Costa Rica's next week and there's gotta be some incredible sights there right?

Probably not the best day to wear my Chloé loafers, but I kinda loved the checkered dress with stark white shoes.

quick snapshots

Just a quick post of a few polaroids Landon and I decided to take with my humble Polaroid camera and just 4 exposures left on the film. These babies came out pretty perfect, if I say so myself. Landon's Reformation shirt though - how good is it?!

Obviously a huge fan of sleep, so I had to sport a pair of pajama-like shorts that I purchased at none other than that magical place called Zara.

the suit, not the tie

You should see this dress without the blazer, it's absolutely gorgeous, but slightly scandalous for work. You'll be seeing the dress in its fully glory for Costa Rica in a few weeks!

Channeling a school girl vibe in this chambray button up dress and an oxblood satchel that I thought would be only appropriate for the fall, but transitions quite nicely into my spring wardrobe.

A gardener, a farmer, whatever you wanna call anyone wearing overalls - you can't deny that it's making a comeback. Despite its obvious downfalls (bathroom breaks and such) - it's über comfortable and makes you feel like a kid again, so I'm willing to pay that price.
