Governors Ball

Besties before Gov Ball!  On me... Top: Petal Boutique, Shorts: LOFT

Last weekend I was in NYC for a bachelorette party, but spent Sunday at Governors Ball!  This is a music festival on Randall Island.  This is usually a nice, grassy island, but after 24 hours of rain thanks to a tropical storm turned this into a huge mud pit.  Our solution to this was picking up some new kicks and embracing the mud!  It was a awesome day filled with my best friends, surprisingly good food, and the Lumineers, Kanye West, and the Avett Brothers just to name a few!

PS: Check out Vouge's Governors Ball Street Style pics here.  I can confirm that Hunter rain boots and cutoff shorts were definitely must-have items this year!

This weekend rewind is actually recapping a couple weekend's ago... to say the last few weeks have been crazy would be an understatement!  A couple weeks ago I watched as my best frand got hitched in the Capital City of Columbia, SC!  It was great to be back in my home state of South Cackalacky with some of my best friends.  

Stay tuned for more updates about this year's insane wedding season!

Once again I am super pumped for Friday... this week because I am leaving for NYC tonight to celebrate my friend's last days as a single lady at her bachelorette party!  I haven't been to NYC in a couple years now so obviously I'm excited to be there again... add my besties on top of that and you have all the necessities for an amazing weekend!!

One thing I will definitely be packing for my trip is a trusty pair of sunglasses.  I consider these a must-have accessory year around... not just in the summer.  Above are some pairs I've been eyeing lately... pun intended.  Head over to Long Distance Loving for even more summer sunnies!

Which pair is your favorite?

PS: As if that wasn't enough excitement for one trip... I'll also be at Governors Ball on Sunday!  Has anyone ever been?  Any tips for a newbie??

Summer Stripes

Clockwise from top left: STRIPED CROSS BODY BAG // STRIPED BLAZER // PINK DRESS // TORY BURCH TOTE // MINT & BLACK DRESS // RED SKIRT // BLACK & RED BAG // PINK & WHITE TOP // NAVY & WHITE DRESS // ESPADRILLE SLINGBACKS // TRENCH // PEACH & COBALT DRESS // WHITE & BLACK SKIRT (similar) // GLASSES // BLACK & WHITE SHIRT // BLACK & GOLD TOTE

I definitely wear stripes year around, but during the summer I tend to wear them even more often.  Although stripes can come off as nautical, I think most of the items above offer a twist on traditional stripes.  

Are you wearing summer stripes?

Milly for Banana Repulic

As you may have heard, Milly and Banana Republic recently launched the Milly for Banana Republic collection inspired by summers in the Hamptons.  Although I have never been to the Hamptons, a preppy beach aesthetic is definitely something I can get behind.  Banana Republic and Milly have done a great job promoting this collaboration, resulting in several celebs appearing to be on board and a few items already sold out.  Browse through the look book above to see some of my favorite of the Milly for Banana Republic items.

What do you think of the Milly for Banana Republic collection?

Summer Whites

BB Dakota Anissa Shorts // Sabine Eyelet Shell Tank Top // By Malene Birger Zanobi Anchor Jeans // Gap Two Tone Canvas Clutch // Light in the Box iPhone Case // J Brand 1046 Dotted Eyelet Cutoff Shorts // J.Crew Anchor scarf // Gap Eyelet Shirt // ASOS Top with Blocked Sheer Panel // ASOS Chunky Jumper With Strap Cross Back

Happy Friday people!  Today is an ESPECIALLY happy Friday for me since I'm heading to South Carolina to watch my best friend tie the knot.  They are definitely one of those perfect couples and that paired with fun friends, a band, and amazing venue sounds like a great summer weekend to me!

Speaking of summer... no summer wardrobe is complete without white in my opinion.  Check out a few of my recent favorites above.  And head over to Long Distance Loving for ever MORE summer whites!

Have you broken out your summer whites yet?

Sole Sister

ONE // TWO // THREE // FOUR // FIVE // SIX // SEVEN // EIGHT // NINE // TEN 

Recently I realized that a lot of my shoes look (for lack of a better word)... beat up.  My shoes get a lot of wear and tear so lately I've been investing in neutral shoes that can be worn everywhere.  I've noticed that I can justify most shoe purchases if they are nude or black.  Makes sense... right??

These are a few of I've been eyeing lately!

Which pair is your favorite?
