summer insp

because summer should be fun!

No one loves black more than me, but when the layers are minimal it’s nice to switch things up with some new tones and colours. After all, summer should be fun (is this reference too millennial??)

Orange and purple are really making their way forward, which sounds very Halloween, I know, but the key is choosing the right tones and fabrics. When you get that part right, it feels a lot more chic than costume-y.

Here’s what I’ve been eyeing (and buying).

butter is good for you

1. hat

2. deep dinner plate

3. i ordered the white row beach flip flops, and immediately said jen get a fucking grip - so these flip flops are on their way to me i’ll keep you posted

4. thought this suit was so cute

5. great raffia bag at an even better price

6. if you’re in canada (or maybe its just quebec) I swear by pigeon hill wine (the rose specifically)

7. a great tube

8. i don’t wear shorts but if i did i find these so cool- feel like they’d be good cropped pants for my height actually

9. brutalist candlesticks anyone?

10. pool skirt

11. my favourite cleanser to remove all that SPF and makeup

purple can be chic!

As my mother would have said, who woulda thunk?

1. if i had a wedding coming up i’d strongly consider this- if you’re feeling crazy i love it paired with a red, orange, even pink bag (something sleek and minimal though).

2. Courtney did it so right with this clutch

3. good skirt if you wear those

4. purple murano glass

5. not purple but this is a good brown raffia bag

6. t shirt

7. pants

8. cute mesh flats on sale

9. not purple either but of all the bronzer releases i’ve been lucky enough to try i’m reaching for this the most

10. fun summer napkins

11. jewelry box (kinda like it as a bag too?)

12. pretty cardi that you can(and should) wear as a top!
    

orange ya glad to see me?

1. i just got this pencil case for my lip products in my purse- i went with the turquoise but every pattern is pretty

2. perfect sweatshirt to throw around waist/shoulders

3. your clothes from the last few years will look refreshed with these kitten heels

4. bag

5. love this crochet top

6. cute sunglasses

7. i sized up in this linen shirt

8. skirt

couldn’t leave out red, could i?

1. no one is more scared of the sun than me, I love this sunscreen mist that doesn’t ruin my makeup when I need to re apply

2. always have ghia at home for non alch drinking guests! So great for the summer on ice with soda and limes

3. perfect linen simple pants (i hem these so if you’re taller these will be good for you)

4. lip balm that works

5. passport holder

6. loved this dries scarf the second it released and now it’s on sale

7. earrings

8. cool jacket that no one will have

9. liffner just sent over this raffia stripe tote, i find it so fun for summer! especially mixed with colours/patterns

10. great wrap skirt

11. bronze face, faux freckles, no mascara, lip liner, and this

12. i just ordered this tee in black, if it’s good then will get the white. i love the shape of the v! my best t shirts are my ‘going out’ tops so the price would be worth it. important to take good care of splurge t shirts though, i often dry clean.

Hope you had fun.
