Hi guys!

Hope you're enjoying your first days of August. I sure am, although this is my birthday month and I really don't want to turn any older. I also don't want September to come by too soon. Seriously, where did the summer go? We only have a few more weeks of it.

On a happy note, I still get to wear cute crop tops for a little longer. This crop top and high waisted midi skirt are by AKA, the same store this dress is from. I still am obsessed with them. I'm telling you, this outfit looks way better in person than it does on camera.

The chain necklace and ring I'm wearing are from Jasmina Jovy's new collection The Chain on Chain, which is not yet up on their website but will soon be. They are part of the same set I wore on my last post. They have been a part of my daily must-wear accessories since I received them.

The level of detail on each piece is mind-blowing. Go and check out all their collections here!

Let me know what you guys think!

flamingoes

I once met someone who thought flamingoes were magical creatures that only existed in fairy tales (kind of like unicorns). If you really think about it, they look very surreal. How can a creature be so pretty? If you see them in a flock they look like pink cotton candy (yes, I know, I've been craving cotton candy these days).

Now, imagine how beautiful flamingoes would be if instead of feathers, they grew flowers. Actually, you don't really have to imagine that. You can just see it on the tank top I'm wearing on this post. This Flamingo Ruffle Tank is from The Classic Brand.

Summer in Boston is so hot I feel like wearing tank tops and swimsuits most days. I wish I could walk around the city wearing a swimsuit top and feel comfortable. But, since I can't really do that, I just wear the two of them together.

I love this look because it's so casual and laid back. Perfect for a good walk or weekend adventures, specially on a really hot summer day.

If you like wearing tanks during the summer, but hate looking too plain, check out The Classic Brand website. They have good alternatives.

What do you usually wear in summer?

cotton candy

I know I've mentioned this before but... I'm really into pink and blue pastel tones this season. When I see this skirt I see cotton candy. It's really hard not to want to eat it.

The skirt and sunglasses I'm wearing are by Blackfive, an online store with really good quality and trendy clothing items. At first, I didn't know what to expect when I saw this skirt on their website. I thought it was too pretty for its price, and wondered if it would be one of those products that shows a certain way on pictures and is completely different in person (which has happened to me several times with other online stores). The skirt was surprisingly really well-made, and the material feels as soft as cotton candy!

The fabric is strong enough to last you for years, but soft enough to want to sleep in it (serious). I also really like its length. I love that it is longer in the back and shorter in the front. I have a little bit of a problem with ordering skirts and dresses online. They are sometimes so short on me that I have to keep pulling them down when I walk.

If you're form the U.S. and are looking for what to wear on the 4th of July, check out The Classic Brand. They have everything you need for Independence day. Some of my favorites are: shorts (these, these and these), tanks (this and this), this sweater, and this vest. 

You can also pair your 4th of July outfit with these American Girl Hair Ties by Kitsch (Use code: FIREWORK for 20% off)!

I hope you found this post helpful! I should have shared those 4th of July ideas on my last post, but it's still not too late!

first days of summer

Hi guys!

A lot of really important events have been going on in my life, so I hadn't been able to shoot or post. Now that things are almost back to normal, I'll be able to post more. I have so many things to show you, it's overwhelming.

I am over the top excited to post about this dress from AKA. I have been following AKA for a while now and am obsessed with their summer dresses, and their whole summer collection (which you can view here). You'll see everything from spaghetti straps, to low/open backs, to crop tops and high waisted skirts. So, everything you can imagine in the perfect summer wardrobe, they have.

This dress is so light, it keeps you fresh during a warm summer day, and it's perfect for transitioning from day to night.

I thought this necklace by Kitsch was the cherry on top to this outfit. It's really simple, but still adds a statement to any look. I wear it all the time. Check out their site, they have great accessories at affordable prices. These stackable rings are only $9!

I missed you guys! 

How have your first days of summer been? Are you doing anything exciting?

Hi guys! 

As some of you may know, it's been beautiful in Boston for the past couple of weeks. It is still a little chilly, but sunny enough to enjoy a good walk. 

I wore this outfit to walk around the Charles River, through those beautiful little streets around it, all the way up to Newbury St., and finally to the Boston Marathon finish line. I did this the day before the marathon because it has become my tradition for some reason. Every year, the Sunday before the Boston Marathon I walk around the city and take a picture at the finish line. Maybe because I know I won't get a chance to see it the next day. 

This year, twice as many people than usual joined us in Boston to support the marathon, so you can imagine how crazy it was. The train stations were hectic. There was a lot of security (which made me feel protected). Everyone got their bags checked. But, the general atmosphere was amazing and so cheerful.

Whenever I get something that I really like, I don't seem to take it off for weeks! 

That's the case for this shirt. I've only had it for about two weeks and I've worn it with shorts, a skirt, jeans, you name it. 

It looks like a pajama top, but at the same time, it's so chic and elegant. I love it, love it, love it!

Can't wait to read your comments!
