Keeping with theme, I have also been living in these boat shoes. They are 50% casual 50% flashy, 100% awesome. The compliments flow aplenty whenever I break these bad boys out, and they have been getting tons of traffic lately.
These kicks are limited edition from J Crew- get em while they're hot.
It seems that all summer long I have been living in nautical stripes. Tank dresses, gauzy tees...all adorned with little blue/red lines. This would work fine if I lived in Nantucket, but I in fact live in the heart of the Midwest so it tends to look awkward that I keep dressing like I just jumped off a boat. Even though I'm already seeing stripes, I may have to add one more aquatically themed shirt to my wardrobe. I am loving the glam/nautical looks shown by Alice + Olivia and J Crew. The sequins really add a fun pop and could jazz up any outfit, whether by land or sea.
While on a recent trip to visit my friends in Chicago, we got to talking one night about how Emily Giffin's books are the best for a quick summertime read. Well the next morning when we all met for brunch, my incredibly thoughtful friend Tara surprised us all with Giffin's latest tome, 'Heart of the Matter'.....and heres the kicker- they all had a beautiful and personal inscription inside. Trust me, there is no faster way to make a hungover girl cry. Of course as soon as I got home I tore through the book. Like always, Giffin breaks up the chapters to give different perspectives to the same story. 'Heart of the Matter' is a wonderful tale of choices and forgiveness......perfect for perusing out by the pool.
Its very rare that I find an album that I can listen to from start to finish, but Drake's 'Thank Me Later' is just that. Whether it's on my commute to work, on the treadmill or when I'm getting ready to go out....Drake's songs seem to be in constant demand. Drizzy, forget later...I'll thank you now.
I have this problem. While I should be tackling the 497207 things I have on my to-do list, I constantly eat up my time by cruising interior design websites. Some of the rooms I find are so creative and luxurious, I dream of the day when I have my own home and can decorate them to fit my taste. Per example: Look at this room I found at Atlantis Home....wouldn't you just DIE to wake up in that divine nook?? The clean bedding, the luxurious details....this room is just perfection!
Even though we are eliminated, I thought the USA's run during the World Cup was very special. Having played soccer my whole life, I have always been a fan of the game even if the majority of our country disagrees. I was so surprised to see my fellow citizens geeked out over the matches and more than happy to wake up at 9am on random Tuesdays to cheer on our team with them. But on this, the celebration of our nation's independence .....I thoughtit appropriate to share this video of one of the most patriotic moments we have seen in quite some time.
Grab some tissues, enjoy, and Ill see you all again in 4 years.
* I recommend watching in full-screen mode for maxium patriotic value. (Just click the four arrowed square on the bottom right hand corner).
