Happy holiday weekend! I thought I’d be sneaky and go from one warm beach right to another and boy was I wrong! It’s freezing, our beach is still being dredged from Sandy, and it’s raining. That said, we are very lucky to actually have a place to go to this summer since a lot of people haven’t recovered and still won’t be able to enjoy their summer homes. This weather means putting on some comfy clothes and curling up to finish Dan Brown’s Inferno!

Second Look

Dress: Asos, Shoes: Zara

Happy Thursday! Here are a few more shots that didn’t make the first round because I loved the darker story that the first few showed. These are a bit brighter and more playful. I just love this space so much and it’s amazing how different it looked because different flowers bloom at different times. The indoor gardens had completely different colors than the last time…ahh, nature. It’s where I feel completely at ease in life and I battle between the energy of the city and the energy that I find when I’m at a beach or in the country. Life is all about balance!

Greetings from Turks & Caicos! Nothing makes me happier than being near a beach, with great weather, a tan, and fantastic company. Packing for trips away is always so much fun and I get a little carried away bringing everything under the sun down with me. This bag obviously had to make the cut. It is made from vintage swim caps! I just think it’s the cutest thing ever! You really don’t need anything more than baja stripes and bikinis, which is what makes a place like this so special.

Happy Monday! Apologies if you tried to log on the site this morning.. My website decided it hates mondays and didn’t want to get up today and was down for a few minutes. So in return, I bring you a new post! Happy accidents are always the best and the photos came out with this dark, moody background which made the dress really pop. I’m so pleasantly surprised at the quality of these jacquard Asos dresses. They are under 200 and look so unique!

I’m in the Turks & Caicos this week so stay tuned for some island snaps here and on the Glossie Grams!

Hey, gorgeous things! I’m excited to show you these photos because they are just brimming with color! It’s amazing what a little greenery can do especially when it’s carved into cheeky little animal shapes. White seems to be the new nude this season and these shoes are only $39. Usually I would put a flesh tone on my feet with something so busy, but a pop of white feels extra fresh right now.

Toile is such a classic print and when I saw first saw it I thought of a scene from Pride & Prejudice where Keira Knightly takes shelter from the rain under The Temple of Apollo and rejects Mr. Darcy’s proposal. It’s one of my favorite scenes because it’s so visually stunning. Beautiful architecture can be so powerful and has a way of bringing out certain emotions and a sense of awe. I love seeking places out and creating my own moments.

You know summer is on the horizon when you forget that you can only really shoot at the magic hour in order to avoid overexposure. It’s such a welcomed problem because it means longer days, warmer temperatures, sun-kissed skin and lots of optimism! Here’s so endless summers!

Happy Mother’s Day! This is always such a special family weekend because my mom’s birthday and my brother’s birthday both fall within the same week. Plus, my sister-in-law is a new mom and has one on the way so there is a lot to celebrate! It’s a weekend that also always starts the countdown to Memorial Day Weekend and I’ve already started accumulating some cute beach attire.

My mom takes most of the photos on my blog and she’s been there to help me through this journey from the beginning and I couldn’t be more appreciative of everything that she does. She fills my life with inspiration, motivation and unconditional love. We are not only family but also best friends and I just could not live a fulfilling life without her!

Wishing you and your family a wonderful spring day full of joy. x

Happy Friday! Sometimes a girl just needs to throw on a pair of cutoffs and go. It’s been a long week and something fussy just didn’t feel right today. Plus, it’s almost 80 degrees! Hope you all have a great weekend. xo

Textured

Happy Wednesday! Maybe it was the Derby last weekend, but my love for hats has been completely reignited. This one has such an interesting and beautiful shape to it and really has the legs to go from an event that requires a fancy headpiece to the beach with a flowy dress or pair of cutoffs. It will definitely be my summer beach hat!

I just love all of the texture going on with the bottom of the dress, the shoes, and the background. This style of dress is so universally flattering because it really makes the waist look super tiny while the pleats distract attention away from problem areas below the midsection. Win!

Laced Part II

Hello, you gorgeous things! I don’t usually post the same outfit twice but sometimes I shoot so many pictures that I can’t actually narrow them down. It’s a process of editing and telling a story and sometimes too many pictures is just..well..too many! I wanted to show you some of the ones that didn’t make the cut the first time around.

I’m sort of in a phase where I feel most creative finding locations that inspire me and dressing around them instead of trying to keep up with posting #ootd streetwear. It’s where I really began with my blog and it’s time to get back to the roots of what excited me about this crazy world rather than getting caught up in who is doing what brand partnership and posting just to post.

What would you like to see more of? Trend reports? Look for less? More outfits? Let me know!
