The best thing about summer

Is getting to wear dresses! Here is my favorite dress that I've been wearing out lately, I don't own a "LBD" (shocker, right?) but I own TONS of pink/floral summer dresses. Although I know most people like shorts & a tank in the summer, I think I'm a bit different and favor dresses. They scream feminism and dresses vary so that every body shape can find one that fits. Since I have lots of hips ;) I love dresses that are "sweetheart" style. I try and pair it with a cardigan, which can be tricky in the summer. However, I find very light cardigans to work perfectly or even tank cardigans that are similar to vests! To each her own :)

My favorite dress from Charlotte Russe. I bought this last summer. That white cardigan feels SO LIGHT and it's extremely comfortable. Also from Charlotte Russe. :) 

I've also been gravitating towards purples and pinks for eye makeup! This is different for me because I normally only wear greens and blues because they make my eyes bluer. My eye color tends to be blue or green but I've been loving that I can make it more green with the purples and pinks! So refreshing! 

What is your "go to" summer wear? In this weather, less is more! 

A little of this, a little of that

Some of my favorite things lately:

Fishtail Braids, clean and messy styles! 

Mocha Cookie Crumble from Starbucks! 

Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt-- ooh, so good! Thanks Mom! 

Not only this book-- but getting it for $6.98! Just starting it but so far, so good !

 

Rosanna is from one of my favorite bands that broke up a while ago. This song has been stuck in my head lately and has been one of my favorites for a while. So raw. Another amazing song by her is "Waterfall". 

BLUE EYELINER.

Still obsessing over this cover! And these girls!

These cute creatures that I keep trying to find someone to crochet for me!

Where have I been lately?

Well, I've been traveling!

 

First, I went to Virginia Beach, VA to visit family. Every time I cross this bridge, I know I made it home!

 We went to Opsail at the Oceanfront! Opsail is where we get to see the Blue Angels demonstrate different techniques! They also set up a ton of vendors and stuff at the strip, it's awesome. 

My Mom's church :) I love it there!

Then I went to Cape Cod, Massachusetts for a BEAUTIFUL wedding!

We landed in Boston! 

We were so tired but ready for the nice weather and vacation!

 

& of course the Lobster & Steak, YUM!

We enjoyed a beautiful wedding the next day!

 

  It was such a lovely location & the Bride & Groom's vows made me cry! I felt so blessed to be there. 

We danced, ate a wonderful dinner & drank at the reception & then joined everyone at a local bar where the Groom & Bride celebrated the wedding! 

The next day we woke up to this: 

& helped Trevor's Dad make a delicious brunch for the whole wedding party & some of the guests! 

We of course had to explore the beach. It was in the high 60s most of the time and felt SO GOOD. 

The following day we made the LONG trip back to Maryland! Even though we flew up, we drove down with Trevor's Dad and Step-Mom. On the way back, we stopped at this New Jersey Train-Diner that we always see every Christmas. It was Trevor and My first time there and it was SO GOOD. I, of course, had to order the disco fries! I wish that was all I got because I didn't realize how much FOOD they gave you! I was overwhelmed and basically all I ate was the disco fries anyways :3

Welp, 9 hours later we finally made it back to Maryland! What a great time I had! Both in VA and MA! It was so nice to just relax and spend time with family! I am so blessed!
