Lazy Sunday

Lazy Sunday



 Today is a strange day.  No power due to a recent storm.  And I'm in the middle of a fun sports watching weekend.  This is challenging without power. :-)  Luckily, it is middle Sunday for Wimbledon - no games.  And I'll follow the final round of the AT&T National golf tournament via twitter and updates on line when I am in Starbucks.  Thank God for Starbucks!  Otherwise, I'll be running errands and preparing for the work week.  My gym is open, so I'll get an afternoon workout there.  I walked this morning with my mom.  But I need to make add some strength training into the mix.  I hope everyone is staying cool. 

So, I have recently revamped my shoe collection due to not one but two foot injuries!  The first occurred while running and the second is a foot causalty from wearing too many of the same types of shoes.   So, I need more stylish flat and low-heeled options that look as good as heels.  This will the first in a series of OOTDs.  I love these denim loafers.  I love loafers in general.  But these are comfy and lined with a soft leather.  The top is a find from the J.Crew factory store while visiting the beach a few weeks ago.  The shorts are from last year series but this style is still available in great colors on the J.Crew website.  Blue and green make such a great combination.  I love the braided belt and the canvas - denim of the shoe that shouts summer!  Happy July 1st!

Paisley and gold

Paisley and gold


knit cardigan - petal top - bermuda shorts - leather sandals - yellow gold jewelry - plastic sunglasses

This is a variation on a theme.  It's amazing how happy this print make me.  It's very grown up and complex but very accessible.  Paisley seems to be everywhere these days!  The colors are gorgeous.  The colors are so dark that this puts me in the mind of a fall print.  This will transition into the fall.   I wonder how this will look with a pullover sweater.  Hmmm!  Preview of things to come.

Too darn hot!

Untitled #32



I am really loving bright greens for the summer.  I think that it is very refreshing and energizing.  White shorts are just quintessentially cool, in my opinion.  There is something about a white short that pulls a look together.  Add some accessories and viola!  One chic girl out enjoy what the world has to offer.   This is my outfit for dinner with my GF who is flying in to town.  We are having Indian food.  So this may not be ideal.  This white shirt and spaghetti sauce and you'll understand.  But I plan to live daringly.  The forecast is for too darn hot.

Paisley short 1

Just another fun outfit for a casual afternoon running errands or catching up with friends.  I live for comfortable flats after a busy work week filled with heels of varying heights.  And a little arm jingle is nice for the weekends.  It's funny since I can't wear bracelets at work (I can, but I end up wearing only one or two at work).  I find myself taking off my bracelets during my time spent at the computer (80% of my time!).  So, taking off and putting on multiple bracelets during the work day just does not work for me.  So, fun bangles is a weekend treat for me.  How do you relax and keep things stylish?
