Inspiration + Shopping: Chic in Shorts

Since I’ve been posting non-stop about shorts this week, I figured I’d close it out with an ode to the summer staple.

I tried to pull off a look half this chic yesterday but I’m pretty sure it was a mild failure. Despite that, my quest to nail the chic, nonchalant short look continues. My apologies in advance for dragging you all along on that journey.

Right now it’s raining here which is really bumming me out since I was hoping to get in some seriously lazy pool time this weekend (and possibly afternoon). Instead, I’m sure I’ll have to settle for some lazy couch time with the fam. Speaking of fam, my sandal feature was included in today’s DailyBuzz Moms wrap-up - so check it out if you’re so inclined.

If not, just scroll down for some shorty inspiration (sorry for the blurries in the middle – I loved those looks but the images got a little messy in the collage making process and I was too committed – read: lazy  – to go back and fix it) and shopping favorites – my personal favorites right now are these Island Company white linen bow tie ones. I’ve been wearing them non-stop ever since I got them. Enjoy your weekend!

Inspiration + Shopping: For an Outdoor Wedding

Summer outdoor weddings can be tricky. Will it be ridiculously hot or unseasonably cool? You also have to take into account the setting.  Will it be entirely on grass (grab the wedges) at a country club or will your heels be safe on solid ground? And last but not least, the couple. Are they free-spirited, conservative, wild, casual or a combination of those (and more)? It’s a lot to consider, which means a lot of options.

But if you have a dress that fits well, looks great and doesn’t show too much skin – you’re usually good to go (just pack a big wrap if it’s chilly). Right now, I’m loving floral prints, bright colors and mixing separates for a fun outdoor affair.

Here’s a little inspiration and some of my favorite dresses {right now} for an outdoor wedding.

Inspiration: Bathing Beauty * Grace Kelly

When I was hunting around earlier looking for great beach wedding inspiration, I stumbled upon these amazing images by Howell Conant of, the always luminous, Grace Kelly.  I couldn’t help but share.

How {gorgeous, glamorous, effortless, stunning} was she?
