Baseball Saturdays

The craziness that is my summer has forced me to find outfits that are not only weather appropriate, but also multifunctional as well (translation:  I have to be able to wear it to multiple places & still be deemed 'dressed appropriate').  With a quick swap from heels to sneakers, this outfit went from a hosted family bbq, to a quick trip to the mall, finished off with a night at the ballpark...

So I'll Be On My Way

Another busy weekend has come & gone, only to give way to the beginning of a very event-filled new month.  This is one of the simplest outfits ever, but I just needed my new fedora to have all the attention today...

BirthDYed

Today marks the second birthday of this blog.  I don't know a better way to celebrate (other than a few too many cold beverages last night) then to show you some of my latest (and easiest) DIY projects...

Summer Mornings

Saturday morning simpleness. I guess the weatherman didn't lie, as the sky looks quite ominous.  This puts a damper on this afternoon's plans for a family bbq, but could be a blessing in disguise with the Olympics on all day...

Photo Friday: Tour Guide

The manpanion & I played tour guides last weekend to a few members of my family, which turned out to be such a great time.  Toronto & London on Friday, Niagara Falls on Saturday, & shopping & a baseball game on Sunday to wrap up a busy weekend.  Now, if you'll look below the tour can begin...

Soaking up the Sunlight

The folks from the weather channel told me that yesterday was a last chance of sorts to soak up any sunshine necessary, as the next few days will be filled with rain, clouds, & overall gloomy weather.  Per their request, I happily obliged & shot these photos as the sun went into hiding.  Now, here's hoping they're wrong about the remainder of the weekend...

Inspiration: Dip-Dyed

I've been dyeing (get it) to try this technique out for months.  There have been endless opportunities, but in all honesty, I really had my heart set on the version from Zara awhile back.  I waited for it to go on sale, but sadly I missed out.  DIY project here I come...

South of Somewhere

Wore this to a family bbq in the sweltering midwest heat.  I find it so hard to motivate myself to wear actual clothes when I know all I'll be doing is sweating.  Good thing the beer was ice cold...

Storm Chaser

I bid adieu to my house full of visitors early this morning, went back to bed, & woke up again to a lack of sunshine. Dreary skies call for shades of grey & darker, so this outfit seemed appropriate...
