relaxing in the front yard sitting in my newly built Adirondack chair
listening to the giggles of my little kiddos
reading The Hobbit because it's been 22 years since I read it for the first time
sleeping in late every morning
hating my lack of focus
wondering why summer has to go by so quickly
sewing lots of home decor pieces like drapes and bench cushions
eating fresh blueberries with flax seed and yogurt from Orange Leaf
watching season 4 of Downton Abbey and loving the pig scene
wearing lots of maxi skirts because 1) they're breezy and 2) they hide so much
BODEN, a hugely popular store from Great Britain, is currently my favorite source of inspiration. Their catalog is just this beautiful explosion of color and ideas and their clothing has a
LONG option that is generally 2-3 inches longer than the regular offering (super handy for girls who want more coverage). Photo spreads with lots of prints, amazing
color combinations and the special detailing incorporated into the designs are a few of the reasons why I love
BODEN dresses.
Vanessa Dress | A perfect floral confection for the girl who wants to imagine it's spring.
Wool Skater Dress | On trend and any occasion ready. Fitted, wool and classic...what more could you ask for in a Valentine's day dress?
Amelie Dress | Striped details? Comfy knit? Pink and Red? Yes, please!
Tea Dress | A happy, polka-dotted bit of loveliness that lends itself to layering with a blazer or cardigan.
LAURA DRESS | Spend a comfy day with hot cocoa and then on to a cozy date with your valentine in this fitted, knit dress. It's a day to evening delight.
Lola Dress | A feminine take on a print dress designed for dressing up or dressing down. The choice, as they say, is yours.
Alma Dress | Simple yet so spectacular, with cutout details that reveal a contrasting color beneath.
YOUR TURN:
Which of these dresses would catch your eye for a Valentine's Day event?
It's only August, but my mouth is already watering at the thought of the foot candy
newly arrived for fall.
These are a few of my favorites...
No words needed.
The bows, the color, the ankle-strap...Oh, my!
Like the oxfords my mother made me wear when I was a little girl...only more grown up.
Lori's B. Makowsky Sasha Maryjane's Is there such a thing as love at first sight? Sigh...
The go-with-everything shoes.
Just love the white toe and stripe down the back.
Dancin' in my blue suede shoes!!!
Can't wait to wear these oxford booties! Love! Love! Love!
