Hole Punched

I picked up this little dress during my Spring visit to NYC at Mint, a favorite little spot in my old neighborhood, the Upper West Side. The popping cobalt color is one of my favorites, and the cut out design makes for a breezy summer dress. Feeling the need for a little Vitamin C, I added citrus accessories for a final punch.

Fresh Mint

 Pastels have never been on my must-have list, but lately I’ve found myself gravitating toward the feminine color palate. In order to keep pastels age appropriate, couple them with a simple neutral (tan, black or grey) to break up the sugary sweet colors.

blue skies and thunderstorms

Thunderstorms are inevitable in May; however, with our 90 degree temps, any type of rain coat or trench just isn’t an option. Keeping rain boots at work and at home along with an umbrella in my bag are essential. Of course, the Georgia humidity one experiences after an afternoon thunderstorm leaves everything so dewey you might as well run straight through the rain. It’s going to be a loooooong summer, y’all.
