Flowers and Flip Flops

Ready for a photo overload of photos of me in a bright pink shirt? I should have edited it down more but...

I am obsessed with this shirt from NY&Co. So obsessed that I have it in black too.

And a many thanks go to my sister who technically bought it for me. Not sure if she realizes it but just in case. Don't worry Kate, next time we go shopping, I'll treat!  

It was perfect 100 degree, sticky, awful weather this past week. Tank tops and flip flops and gallons of water were necessities. 

This shirt was ideal for a hot day, plus it matched all the pretty flowers in my parents back yard. I dress to camouflage into my surroundings, but funny enough I don't own any actual camo.

As hot as it was I still couldn't resist asking my Dad to snap a few photos out on the patio. So thanks Dad for dripping sweat for the sake of fashion!

*Jeans: American Eagle (similar)

*Tank: New York and Company (similar)

*Flip Flops: $1 Old Navy

*Lace Bra: American Eagle (similar)

*Sunglasses: RayBan

Did you make it thru all these photos? Congrats if you did. Because that is a whole lot of pink shirt you just digested. 

Tomorrow I will have to wear black to make up for it. 

Summer Vacation

Sorry for the radio silence last week.

It was a vacation from work and stress. Took a little time to visit the folks and friends. Went out to eat. Drank a beer or two. Went to see a movie. Got a massage.  Played with the kittens.  Went to NYC. Shopped. And slept. 

It was the perfect summer vacation.

Beautiful summer sunset.

Did a little shopping.
I loved this XXL tank top that I wore as a dress from H&M.
But I kept my money in my wallet and moved on. 

Playing with Buttons.

Sam Edelman purses.
I fought the temptation to buy one of these studded beauties. 

Playing with Bobbins to celebrate his one year anniversary of living with us.
As you can tell, he was very excited. 

106 degrees. Hottest week ever. 

Bella and cookie. Best friends. 

Relaxing on the patio.

Pretty flowers. 

Mom, Bella and Dad relaxing once the hot sun started to set.

Patriotic kitties!

Best photo I have of my 4th of July outfit. Stars and stripes!

Red, white and blue!

View from Casey's window at work. NYC. 

Went to Brooklyn for the night with Casey.
View of the Manhattan skyline from rooftop.
I could get use to that view. 

Me and my Casey Lea.

Sometimes you just need a little frozen yogurt... and pineapple...
and chocolate... and kiwi... and strawberries....

My current favorite beer... Fruli.
Refreshing on a hot summer day. 

Going back to work this week has been really hard and it is only Tuesday.

Excited for a Friday night out with the girls. My friend Ellie just got back in the states today after a year in New Zealand.  I can't wait for all of us girls to be back together! 

Stars and Stripes

Striped dress, $16 / Striped cardigan / Vintage shirt / J.Crew mini skirt / Peeptoe shoes / White shawl / Hair clip accessory / Converse - All Star Flag - Hi - Red/White

Need some stars and stripes in your wardrobe? Well I have got you covered!!!

Now I am not saying wear all of these things at once. That would be taking American pride to a whole new level, but it would be cute to wear one or two patriotic pieces to celebrate this day. I think I am going to opt for a red striped shirt, red moccasins, denim shorts and using a scrap of blue star fabric as a scarf. (But, I can't lie, if i owned that flag cardigan you know I'd be sweating my butt off in this 95 degree weather just to wear it today!!) 

Hope everyone is off to barbeque some burgers, relax and enjoy this beautiful summer day. 

Happy 4th of July!!!
