Tis the season to display your pretty pedi and slip on some open toe shoes. Truth be told, I haven't worn a pair of wedges in what feels like years! I remember back in college, wedges were the step up from flats. Instead of teetering on one heel, I wobbled through many events wearing high platform wedges. They served as good practice and they were much easier to walk in then stilettos. However, since my early twenties, I think I actually prefer a heel. A mid heel. But when I spotted these at Target, I had to try them on. Memories of college parties got the best of me, and I took them home. They stand out in my sea of flats and pumps. They are perfect for Summer.  

It's also the season for high winds in our area, and this little photo shoot lasted all of two minutes before I high-tailed it inside :)

Short Story

Blouse - Express

Shorts - LOFT

Flats - Ivanka Trump (similar)

Bag - Juicy (old)

Necklace - Kate Spade

How adorable are these shorts?! The pretty lilac color and of course, the lace. Sold! Like a moth to a flame, I was drawn to these immediately while browsing through Loft. I also ordered two more pairs - one in mint and one in a coral/floral print. They are really comfortable and the 4" rise is great.

I hope you all had a beautiful weekend

Summer Shades

Summer is right around the corner. Are you ready?! I'm pretty close. I would like a new bathing suit, maybe something super bright and tropical for my honeymoon in Maui. But, what I've really been eyeing lately are sunglasses. I've had my trusty Forever 21 shades (in black and tortoise) for years now. I can't believe they've lasted me. The best $5.80 I've ever spent! I'm not one to splurge on designer pairs because what if I lose them? Or they get scratched in my bags? Shelling out a lot of money has never interested me, but lately I really am re-thinking my stance. There are so many gorgeous options and at all different price points.

Skirt - LOFT

Pumps - Zara

Bag - Michael Kors

Necklace - House of Harlow

Watch - Fossil

Lips - YSL Le Orange

I saw The Great Gatsby Friday night. I knew I would love it. It's one of my all-time favorite novels. I distinctly remember reading it in high school, and while most of my classmates looked bored to tears during our discussions about the book, I was completely enthralled by the characters. That whole 1920's period just fascinates me. The movie was breathtaking in its beauty. The costumes were gorgeous, and I want to wear every single dress Daisy (played by Carey Mulligan) wore. Leo looked like an old Hollywood star, very handsome. That man gets better with age. I definitely recommend it! I'm not sure the boyfriends or hubands will quite appreciate it, but many of you will.
