I think I bought this baseball sweater at least twelve months ago and this is the first time I have actually pulled it out of my closet. I have always been a huuuge fan of baseball tees but for some reason, I hate the way they look on me. I am not sure if it's the angles or the colors or what-- but I always love them so much more on other people.

Well, this sweater was also not really what I expected when it arrived in the mail, but I kind of love it for the summer. I think I always envisioned it as more of a fall piece, but now that I have paired it with shorts and sandals, I am kinda loving the way it all comes together. Perhaps I should have pulled this out of my closet at the beginning of summer and gotten a few more wears out of it.

Skinny Suit

Yesterday, before work, I woke up early to shoot a local tv commercial where I needed to look like a "professional". My typical day-to-day work apparel isn't quite a suit and heels so I did my best to look like someone who has to dress up for work on a daily basis. I got in touch with my inner-DC self and decided that a black skinny suit was the way to go. While this isn't an actual suit, the black blazer and my favorite skinny pants did the trick for the job. And because I hate wearing all black, especially in the summer, I decided to make the outfit pop with one of my favorite pink J.Crew sweaters. Once the commercial is ready to go, I will be sure to put a link up to it. Until then, I guess we'll have to wait!

That Shirt

Top: Equipment  Shorts: Lauren Conrad  Shoes: Sam Edelman  Watch: Michael Kors  Bracelets: Stella and Dot and J.Crew similar here  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Necklace: c/o 9thandelm

Okay, here it is... the one shirt I have been dying to own for years. I know that people rave about Equipment blouses and now I totally understand what all of the hype is about. I think I would have worn this shirt every day for the past week but, letsbehonest, it's silk, and it's rained every. single. day. this week. Ew. Also, I am pretty sure it would have been frowned upon to wear this shirt each day to my 10 year high school reunion we had over the weekend. 

Summer Nights

Top: The Limited love this one  Jeans: Zara similar here  Shoes: Shoemint  Necklace: c/o 9thandelm  Watch: Michael Kors  Bracelets: Stella and Dot here and here and Alex and Ani here and here  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

I'm not gonna lie, I have been wanting a monogrammed necklace for at least the past year. When 9thandElm reached out to me and said I could pick out some pieces on their website I was practically jumping up and down when I saw that they had monogrammed necklaces. Maybe its the few years I spent on the east coast, or the fact that I secretly want to be a southern girl, but I am a huge fan of monograms, and gold versions are no exception. I couldn't wait for this baby to arrive and I haven't taken it off since it did. I love it paired with this royal blue and my favorite white jeans: a perfect look for a summer night.

Home Means Nevada

After spending this past weekend out in the middle of the desert in Nevada, I came hope with a whole new appreciation for my home state. I spent the weekend at Night in the Country which is a weekend-long music festival full of camping, sunshine, music and drinks. It was my first time attending and I loved every minute of it. Even though we had to go days without showering, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I came home on Sunday morning to find this beautiful necklace in my mailbox... just one more thing to remind me about how much I love this place.
