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?
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.

Happy Memorial Day! I hope your weekend has been, and today continues to be, filled with sunshine and barbecues.
P.S - I’m officially declaring 2014 - year of the romper. This is one of four that I’ve recently added to my wardrobe. Four. Yeah, I’m definitely ready for summer.

I’ve been dreaming about a closet full of jumpsuits and rompers and overalls lately. I may have become a little obsessed with the idea. And it may have started when I found this one at the thrift store a few months ago. SO DREAMY.

Meet my posse: Winston, Sinclair, Sloan, Marlowe, and Jasper.
I’m a glasses girl. I wear them every day. No really, every day. I hate contacts, and only wear them once or twice a year for specific occasions. So I take my frames collection very seriously. I mean, come one, they’re just like all other accessories. I don’t own just one necklace, or one pair of shoes. So why should I have only one pair of glasses? I match my frames to my outfit, so I need variety. And yeah, having a Warby Parker store so close is kind of dangerous for me, but I’m completely obsessed with them.
When they’re on my face, I sometimes forget they are there. But I get a lot of questions about them. So I thought, for those of you interested, I would talk a little about my seeing eye friends :)….
- Warby Parker, Sloan - These are the newest addition to my collection (thanks to a christmas gift card from my brother!) I absolutely adore the red color. Pops of red are my favorite pops :) (see me in them here).
- Warby Parker,Winston - Winston was my very first pair of Warbys, and they have a special place in my heart. I think they are the boldest on my collection, shape wise. They’re big and square, and have a pretty thick frame (see me in them here and here and here).
- Warby Parker,Jasper - I don’t know how I ever lived without prescription sunglasses. Seriously. If you wear glasses, but don’t have prescript sunglasses, you really need to look into it. It’s a life changer (see me in them here and here).
- BonLook, Marlowe - Oh Marlowe. Marlowe doesn’t get nearly as much wear as they deserve. I should remedy that. The blue is SO pretty. And they are my only pair of Bonlook frames. For no reason other than Warby is nearby and more convenient. Unfortunately, I don’t think the Marlowe frames are available anymore (see me in them here and here and here).
- Warby Parker,Sinclair - Definitely my ‘every day’ frames. My go-to frames. I’m pretty sure they go with everything (see me in them here and here).

And now, for even more frames! These are a few more that I’m coveting, above.
Warby Parker’s Durand (#3) came in a close second when I recently purchased my red Sloans. And I’ve been obsessed with the Woow Rock Me frames (#1) from Vizio Optic ever since I wore them in their fall Lookbook. Sadly, they are just way too out of my budget :(. But Rivet and Sway’s Tilda frames (#6) look pretty similar in shape, too!
So tell me, my fellow four eyes, what are your favorite frames?
Sorta, no scratch that, COMPLETELY loving my new red Warby Parker frames.
That is all.
Have a lovely tuesday!

After I found out that I could wear shorts to work, I immediately turned around and bought this pair. I’m currently obsessed with fluid, flowy shorts. And I’m imagining this pair working all summer long. I’m thinkiiiiiing… striped tee and strappy sandals for a sunny, ice cream filled day? Oh yes. But for work, they need to be dressed up. And, personally, nothing quite says ‘work appropriate’ more than a tailored blazer.
