casual cool
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. At least that's what my momma told me when I was upset about everyone in 9th grade copying me. Yup, that's right. I was rocking flats BEFORE they were cool. Oh the hardships of a trendsetter. You know what's also casually cool? Standing where it says no standing.
I've been crushing on Naomi & Sydney's perfectly chic casual outfits. Especially these two (1 & 2), perfect for running about, chasing after kids (not that I have any, but I have two dogs- close enough?) & doing errands. Also, has anyone else noticed that all Mormons are super adorable and quirky? Pretty convinced it's a conspiracy.
When I saw the StyleMint skirt (Sydney wears in look 2) on sale, I snapped it up in a hurry. StyleMint, you never disappoint me. It's like wearing a blanket wrapped around you all day, but it's far more socially acceptable. Oh and new specs! So happy to have ones that match my current prescription.

not too shabby
*please note dog in the background. always has to be in the know
Received this beautiful peachy cotton dream from Polly and Shabby Apple! What a combo. I have been wearing it all the time. It is so comfortable and effortless but yet still looks put together. I love how versatile it is, so I thought I'd show you two wears I would wear it. It would also look great with a blazer and pumps for work.
Been super busy lately with work. Retail is exhausting! I'm sure alot of you already know this. But I'm still loving it. It's a great job for someone who really believes in the power of clothes.
Catch you on the flip!

fingers & toes
Life since acquiring an iPhone as seen through my extremities! These are two of my favorite things to instagram, #fromwhereistand and #notd (nails of the day). Little snip-its of life that seem pretty insignificant but they can tell you so much. I absolutely remember what I was doing when each of these were taken. A fun little conglomerate of the past 6 months or so.

old town alexandria
Always a blast when I meet up with this little lady. She's super cool even in the 90+ heat. Strangers think so too. She picked out this really cute British cafe where we eat brunch since we both woke up around noon cough cough. Delicious hash brown! And an authentic British man who took our order wearing an Olympic shirt.
Wandered around the waterfront, picked out some future realty. In my dreams that is. And grabbed some cold drinks since that's the only way to survive this DC summer.
Finished our day visiting Pretty People vintage, a treasure trove of new, consigned and vintage wears. Then called it a day. Hope to see you soon Lisa!
