Start of Summer!

Hi all! Today is our first official day of summer vacation...woo hoo!! The warm weather has been in full force and this week will be even hotter. We were super busy with fun activities this past weekend, including my son's 5th birthday party that turned out great, which is why I haven't posted anything...but I do have some pictures of what I was wearing to share with ya so on with the fashion show:

Thursday:



Details:
-Batik Maxi Dress-Forever 21
-Open Cardigan-J Crew Factory
-Belt-Forever 21
-DV By Dolce Vita "Dauphin" Sandals-Nordstrom
-Necklace-Fossil
-Earrings-Forever 21
-Bracelet-Stella & Dot
-Ring-Pree Brulee

I have three of these Maxi dresses...two that are solid colors, and then this printed one. They are super easy, comfortable and the price was definitely right at only $15!

Friday:



Details:
-Top-DownEast Basics
-Artist Crop Jeans-American Eagle (Authentic Dark Wash)
-Sandals-Old Navy
-Necklace-J Crew Factory
-Bracelet-???
-Earrings-J Crew Factory
-Ring-Nordstrom (BP)

These are the cropped jeans I mentioned in my last post. I went to American Eagle last week to check them out and really liked the way they fit! I ended up sizing down in these as I know American Eagle denim tends to stretch out a little during the day as you wear it. After wearing these, however, I didn't find they stretched out too much at all! I would still say size down though, just in case.

Saturday:



Details:
-Loosened Shelby Blouse-Anthropologie
-Tank-J Crew Factory
-Cardigan-Loft Outlet
-Artist Crop Jeans-American Eagle (Clean Rinse)
-Seychelles "Purr" Wedge Sandals-Shoes.com
-Necklace-Nordstrom (BP)
-Earrings-Banana Republic
-Ring-Pree Brulee

This was what I wore to my son's birthday party. I knew when this top was released online at Anthro, I had to have it...I love it! Just think of all the colors you can mix and match with it! I'm also wearing my new Seychelles sandals with this outfit which happen to be super comfortable. They are the perfect pewter shade that can be paired with silver or gold jewelry which is what I was looking for. Yes, I'm wearing the AE Crops again, but this time in a darker shade...I picked them up in two colors. If only they had made them in white...I would have grabbed those too!

Sunday:



Details:
-Curated Tee-Anthropologie
-Glowing Leaf Skirt-Anthropologie
-Seychelles "Purr" Wedge Sandals-Nordstrom
-Double Torsade Necklace-Anthropologie
-Bracelets-Tiffany
-Earrings-Banana Republic

I don't quite know why this combination never dawned on my before....the color of the top goes perfectly with this skirt! Thanks to Polyvore for helping me come up with this remix!

Wow, you can definitely tell by the amount of curl in my hair in these pictures whether or not I took it at the beginning or end of the day! Just this past week one side of my hair has been holding the curl better than the other...weird? I think so, and kind of frustrating. Not sure what the difference is lately. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm off to get ready for the day....we have our first day of swimming lessons for #1 and #2 today in just a few hours. After that we'll be coming home to build some pretty sweet creations with legos...my son got a ton of them for his birthday and he is obsessed! Tonight we're having friends over for dinner, and then after the kids go to bed I'll be settling in to watch another episode of the most DRAMATIC show on TV...The Bachelorette! =) Also hoping for a sale at Anthro tomorrow...I'd love to get a few of my wish list items crossed off my list so I can stop obsessing over them!

Hope you all have a great day! Stay tuned this week as I'll be celebrating my one year blog anniversary...anyone interested in a giveaway? =)

  5. you look adorbs in all outfits! love them. Sounds like a fun day planned. You and Tricia got me hooked on the Bachelorette- but I have to watch it on computer a day late b/c we don't have cable. It's so ridiculous isn't it? These people are so immature! Yet, I can't quit watching! haha

  10. I love all these outfits, Jenni. I think my favorite is the one with the Glowing Leaf Skirt. I love mine, but have only worn it once (after stalking it for months on ebay. Can you believe it?). You know i"m a sucker for coral. The color is so flattering against your fair complexion!
