PINEAPPLE LOVE
I wore this outfit this past weekend while we wandered around Harvard Square. We walked through the Harvard campus, had some pizza and ice cream, and enjoyed the last bit of sunshine before the sun set.
P.S - for those of you that sew, let this be a lesson in pre-washing your fabric. I, obviously, didn’t with this one. I’m lazy. But I swear that hem was even when I made it…. and then I washed it. Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and pretend I intended it to be that way.

FANCY PANTS (TIMES TWO)
Fancy sweatpants, that is. They’re my jam. Or well, they are now. I’m obsessed with the idea of dressing them up and actually being able to wear them out of the house. So I bought a basic grey and black pair from Old Navy back in the winter, and then theres my lacey Lou and Grey pair.
But I wasn’t satisfied. I needed more. So I took matters into my own hands and made myself not one, but two new pairs. Two fancy pairs. And I love how they came out. I even wore the black and white and pink outfit to work the other day. Yeah, sweatpants to work. That happened.

WHITES AND CREAMS
Why does my hair look kinda red in these photos? Ha. It’s amazing what different lighting can do for photos.
I’ve been in such a good mode lately. It’s these lovely early summer days. Boo and I have been going out for a few walks in the evening on warm days. We get ice cream, picking up fresh flowers, and soak up the sunshine. We went on our first summer hike yesterday, too! Seriously, I love summer so much.

SNAPSHOTS : NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND
For Memorial Day this past Monday, Boo and I headed to Rhode Island for a fun little adventure day. We started out kayaking in Kingston, and then headed to Newport where we walked along the cliffs edge and explored the town (which obviously included ice cream cones and boat watching). I really loved Newport and all of it’s charm, and hope we can explore it more in depth soon! We’re also thinking about visiting Providence sometime this summer too. Any suggestions?
CAGED
I had put these gladiator sandals on my spring wishlist back in March, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about them since. So I finally just gave in and got them! Just in time too, they seemed to be selling out everywhere I had seen them. Oh yeah, and did I mention that I love them?! Even with the fit not being 100% (the upper few straps fit perfect, but then it starts to get roomier lower on my calves to my ankles. I have pretty small calves, though). I’m totally gonna rock these babies all summer.
