Mealtimes are my favorite times. It’s not just about eating – it’s mostly about conversation and wine and the art of a beautiful table – but it is also about eating… One of the things I aspire to create for my home is a welcoming/chic eating area.

What I Wore: Oldies but Goodies
(What I Wore: top – old navy, skirt – dina bee/thrifted, cut-out wedges – nine west)
Yesterday I busted out some old stuff that I had never worn together. I thought it turned out nicely. I’ll take any excuse to wear my Nine West cut-out white wedges, they’re like 5 years old! I hope you have a great weekend!
Summer Brights
As if I wasn’t already dying to go to the beach…now I want to go wearing giant rock necklaces and tribal crop tops.

(Would you wear) crop tops?
What do you think about this trend? I don’t like a lot of skin showing but I do think it can be very retro and chic when done right.
Summer Work Wear
I love these outfits for inspiration when the days are oh-so long and hot and you’d so rather be at the pool than in the office.

Obsessed with this
A friend from work pointed this out to me. Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. designed “the bottle” which is inspired by Italian women who accessorize with fresh flowers. How chic is that?

Yesterday was one of those days where I felt like piling on all the jewelry I own. My beloved engagement ring is at the fabulous Lauray’s in Hot Springs, AR having it’s matching band created (an omg I’m getting married moment). Of course I had to pick up a bauble to replace it for the time being and decided to play with all the gold pieces I have been neglecting in favor of the simplicity of my diamond.
I also opted to pile my hair up. The big bun that I love is simple to do (instructions here) but the topknot is almost too easy. And I’m obsessed with these pants. I have them in yellow, white, khaki and brown; they are best when paired with a blousy top. They make your legs look ridiculously long because they’re so wide-leg and cover your shoes.
