today, b and i are headed for an impromptu getaway to nashville. we literally just decided last week to take some much needed time off and head to music city. nashville has been on my wanderlust list for some time and my curiosity has increasingly grown while watching nashville the show. we are excited to have some good southern bbq, line dance the night away and rock out to country music. i have been monitoring the weather report and it may rain during our time there so all i can think about is grabbing a cute umbrella to stay dry. here are my favorites!
With 4th of July coming up (I realize I may be a tad early but have to prepare for shipping and lets face it I am early in all that I do), all I can think about is what I will wear to celebrate America accordingly. We were wanting to venture down to Big Sur for camping at the beach but all the tent spots are completely booked so we will probably just head to a beach nearby. All I need is some bbq, a beach and fireworks and it is a good 4th of July.
I realized after putting, this board together, I do not have any red in my finds.
I know, I know I am a bad American, but I think it is because I just love white & blue so much. I figure sweaters, accessories and lipstick can bring the red in, right?
Also, how amazing are those star slip ons? If that doesn’t scream “God Bless America” I don’t know what does.
Don’t you just love that song by The Cure? I still think of it on most Fridays while getting ready for the day. Did you guys ever use AOL Instant Messenger? That was THE WAY to communicate in middle school. For a little while, I would change my profile every day of the week to match The Cure’s song. Monday you can fall apart…Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart… oh man my profile probably made no sense but at the time I thought it was so witty! Anyways, I digress..
This Friday I am in love with summer whites! I really love to wear white for any season but there is something about the crisp look of those summer whites that gets my heart beating a little faster.
1. Lace Parasol Umbrella (Koyal) – This may seem a little unnecessary, but I imagine using this umbrella while playing a game of croquet (believe it or not we do have a croquet set) or maybe just to shade myself while taking a scenic walk. It sounds so lovely and old fashioned. This particular umbrella is found through a whole sale user so you can get a discount if you buy in bulk. Couldn’t you see a dozen bridesmaids holding these beauties at a southern inspired wedding (I used to be a wedding planner if you couldn’t tell ha)?
2. Engineered Lace Tee (Piperlime) – And the laced white summer pieces continue…ON SALE in all sizes and free returns! You can thank me later. I see myself pairing it with boyfriend jeans or a pink skirt. Maybe I will do an outfit post once it arrives!
3. Eva Lace Maxi Skirt (Piperlime) – I love maxi skirts. They are a great staple piece to dress up or down. I would pair this skirt with the perfect chambray top and sandals. Or part of me would like to try it with the lace shirt above for a monochromatic look. It could be the perfect outfit for a romantic night on the town. Lace makes everything more romantic.
4. Touch of Glam Sandals (Forever 21) – Forever 21 always carries my favorite trendy sandals and they last longer than I expect. Can’t go wrong with a price point like that!
5. Printed Leather Clutch (Gap) – I love the faint stripe detailing on this clutch. And what do you know… it is on SALE as well. I need more clutch options in my wardrobe. Currently, I am a tote girl but man does that get heavy.
I long to have all these summer pieces in my closet. But,it wouldn’t be entirely unreasonable to do (considering 3 of the items are under $50).
