Designer Discovery: Boden

Floral Dress // Tweed Skirt // Houndstooth Dress // Striped Coat // Color Block Dress // Pom Pom Scarf // Geo Sequin Top // Clutch // Sailboat Sweater // Loafers

It is very rare for me to like almost every single piece in a brand's collection. Typically I like to have a wide variety of brands in my closet because I admire certain aspects of each. However, upon discovering Boden's fall collection I instantly fell in love. From the tailored cuts, to the wonderful uses of color and pattern, I wanted every single piece. Above are some of my absolute favorites, but trust me when I say you must check out the rest of the collection as well!

Backyard Barbecue

One of my favorite summer activities is definitely a good cookout with my friends. Last night was the perfect night to have one in celebration of a great friend who will be moving soon. I decided to keep my outfit relaxed yet preppy (pink and green were obvious choices) for this occasion. In case you haven't noticed, I'm slightly obsessed with both my newest pair of Jack Rogers as well as scallops this summer! They both are just too cute not to constantly wear! Finally, I would like to point out my silver bracelets. Unfortunately, I cannot link to them since I found them at vintage and antique stores. I have found some of my favorite silver bracelets at stores like I mentioned for incredible prices. My one tip for those who would like to try the same, is always make sure you're purchasing ones that are sterling silver otherwise they unfortunately will not stand the test of time. I hope this advice helps my fellow bargain shoppers! Enjoy!

Traveling the Red Brick Road

The weather a few nights ago was just too perfect not to take a walk in these beautiful gardens. For the occasion I wore an all blue look but varied the shades and hues. The shirt that I used is one of my favorites from J.Crew Factory because it is structured while being light enough for the summer heat. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer as well!

Summer Travels to Seattle

Last week I had such an amazing time traveling to and exploring Seattle, WA! I was able to explore Pike Place Market, The Troll, The Gum Wall, The Space Needle, The Great Wheel and many other exciting locations! Before leaving I made sure to document some of my essential packing items. Although most of the items below are apparel, I would like to point out two items in particular. The first would be one of the books that I packed for the journey, American Wife. Although I have not finished it yet, it already is such an amazing book written by Curtis Sittenfield (the author of Prep). The second item is one of the Pro Packing Cubes, which was a helpful gift given to me in anticipation of this trip. The Pro Packing Cubes come in a set of four and make packing as well as finding outfits so much simpler! I would highly recommend them for any travelers who may be reading this.
