Fashion: Summer Staples

I was thrilled to be able to sport bare legs and flip flops for the first time this year over the weekend.  It feels so good to put away all of the heavy sweaters, riding boots and scarves in favor of simple warm weather dressing.  Not surprisingly, I tend toward the tried and true classics when it comes to summer staples...

J.Crew embroidered blouse; Kayce Hughes lariat necklace; J.Crew striped espadrilles; Gap white shirt dress; straw tote; Target sunglasses

....two things especially catching my attention this year are beautiful embroideries and the color of water... a soothing yet bright Mediterranean blue.

Dreaming of the ocean and sinking my toes in the sand...

Taking Stock: Gap

I'm a huge Gap fan; so when Friends & Family time comes around (like now.... code FAF40);  I jump on the opportunity to stock up on wardrobe workhorses like these at amazing prices...

 jeans/tank/trench/shirtdress/chambray pullover/espadrilles

.... perfect transition pieces for taking advantage of those blessed warmer temps of late!

Cheers to a great weekend everyone!
