Last-Minute Sandal Stock-Up

May 27, 2015

I have an almost absurd amount of sandals. Flats, platforms, strappy, simple, neutral, bright – you name it, I probably have a pair (and yet, I find myself wearing Birkenstocks more often than not).Since the season of high temperatures and vacations is just around the corner (for most of us), I thought it was only appropriate to share some of my summer shoe picks in case you haven’t stocked up yet, or are in need of a new pair for the season. I’m a sucker for Birks, especially this gorgeous coral pair – but I’m also in love with the sporty-luxe vibe of these sandals.

What’s your favorite pair? Do you prefer brights or neutrals?

Bright Maxi Dress

May 26, 2015

H&M Dress // Vintage clutch // Steve Madden sandals // kate spade ring

Like last week, this is another sort-of boring/simple outfit, but that’s because I think this dress looks pretty good on its own. I tend not to wear a bunch of jangly bracelets or layers of necklaces, instead sticking to the statement accessory here and there and wearing clothes that speak for themselves (yikes that sounds cheesy) – like patterned pants, a graphic tee, or, in this case, a bright orange maxi dress. Hooray for comfort and ease!

(Also – some of the pictures may make me look it, but I promise you I’m not translucent.)

Color Splash

Perhaps it’s my inner magpie, but I’m a little bit obsessed with anything shiny, especially gold. It feels so luxe, as it’s supposed to, which is why I love it even more when it’s found on something unusual or run-of-the-mill – like a simple bowl or a pocket notebook.But gold also works really well with clothes, since it can add a glittery touch to a plain t-shirt, or make an all out statement (I’m obsessed with these shoes – how great would they look with, well, everything?). And, if you’re not quite on the all-gold-everything bandwagon yet, this phone case (which I have and love) is the perfect metallic accent.

What I’d Wear When

May 21, 2015

Dress // Heels // Earrings // Clutch

I really love theater. Just about any kind of play or musical will do, but since I’m a total nerd, Shakespeare is my favorite. It helps that the members of my favorite local troop are really friendly and sing thematically-appropriate modern songs, plus they have an awesome new theater. But that aside, I love heading out to see a play. It’s more engaging than a movie, and a little more intellectual, and it’s the perfect escape on a warm summer night. It’s an event that lends itself well to being paired with a relaxed dinner, too, and it’s the perfect time to dress up just a little – a cute dress and some shiny heels do the trick.

Floral Shorts

May 20, 2015

New York and Company shirt | New York and Company shorts (similar options here, here and here) | Birkenstock sandals | Vintage necklace | Target purse

Shorts are not my friend (generally speaking). I don’t love my legs, but Baltimore’s crazy-humid, crazy-hot summers don’t allow for pants. Perhaps it’s just me, but the majority of shorts I run across are teeny tiny and tight. But last year I was determined, and stopped in NY&Co after finding my favorite pair of white jeans there. I walked out with two pairs that are not only comfortable and a decent length but cute, and this is one. The shirt is a fun story too – I just grabbed it to try on shorts with, expecting to hate it – but I ended up loving it and ever since, I’ve worn it constantly, year-round. It’s kind of a plain outfit, but it was insanely humid this past weekend and I couldn’t imagine wearing something more complicated.

(By the way, that picture in the background is a part of The Walters Art Museum’s Off The Wall open-air exhibit. The picture is actually pretty weird, so I’m giving you a link to the Wikipedia article on it. Everything in the bottom left corner is bizarre and hysterical.)
