I'm back with another huge fashion haul for Summertime!  I have to admit, I did buy quite a bit of black but they are all Summery pieces--and most of them came in various colours, I just have an affinity to edgier looking pieces, as you know.  

I also think it's perfectly acceptable to rock dark colours during the warmer months, especially when we are seeing such great fabrics right now like crochet, fringe and pom-poms.

Thanks for watching! xo

Good morning & happy Monday! 

This past weekend wasn't supposed to be busy but turned out to be such, and the weather was beautiful--we are in full Summer mode, and I couldn't be happier.

On Friday I headed out to my parent's place to stay for the weekend to look after our family dog, Peanut.


We hung out on the back deck, soaked up the late afternoon sun and relaxed.  I made that easy tomato-avocado-arugula salad I'm loving and later grabbed some sushi and headed home to get ready for a concert...

O U T F I T  D E E T S :  AEROPOSTALE TANK - OLD (SIMILAR)  |  SHORTS - ON SALE!  |  F21 SPORTS BRA (SIMILAR)  |  SHOES  |  LULULEMON BAG - OLD (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS ONE)  |  ALDO SUNGLASSES (SIMILAR)

This is a typical gym outfit outfit for me (I swap out my kicks for these upon arrival).  I love the edge of the graphic tee paired with the bright coloured shorts.  The open back and strappy sports bra adds some style which is a fun way to make getting to the gym a little easier.  #whatevergetsyouthere 

I've talked quite a bit about working out and my routines over the past couple years and one thing I've always gravitated towards are shorts.  Shorts are a great way to play up your legs and keep cool at the same time.  I rotate between pairing them with a looser fitting graphic tee, or my favourite snugger fitting tanks.  I also love the look paired with a long sleeved tee for when the temperature drops at night or you want to show a little less skin.



O U T F I T  D E E T S :  FREE PEOPLE SWEATER (SIMILAR)  |  CHARLOTTE RUSSE SHORTS - OLD (SIMILARSIMILAR, LOVE THESE)  |  ALEXANDER WANG WEDGES - SOLD OUT (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS SIMILAR MULE VERSION)  |  VINTAGE CLUTCH  |  SUNGLASSES  |  NECKACE

A bit of a twist on the neutrals, all nude, which is a great way to keep things fresh for Summer, if you're a monochromatic lover like myself.  

 I love wearing a a solid colour from head to toe, it looks chic without trying too hard.  It's also pretty easy to pull off.  The interest comes from the details: the knit sweater, the crochet shorts, the patent wedges--all very different, but complimentary and interesting when paired together.  I love the look of this nude or all grey together, but of course black is my go-to in a pinch.

 
On Friday night, after running around and piling groceries and crap into my car, I stopped at Petit Bills to grab the pecan burger to take home for dinner.  I haven't had this in over a year but it's so freaking good.  I'm a huge burger lover to begin with, and never go for the veggie variety, but this one is top notch.
 

 
BLACK  |  STRIPE - SOLD OUT (LOVE THIS ONE, ALSO HERE)
 
My new bikini tops came in from F21 and they are super cute.  I'm loving the on-trend halter/high-neck look; it's athletic and chic.  The fit is definitely small, so size up (I got large).
