A Summer Love

I'm desperately awaiting summer's arrival so that I can live it the way these girls from the Free People look book are. They seem so happy, with not a care in the world, just the way summer's supposed to be.

TGIF! So happy for this gloomy week to come to an end. I'm looking forward to what I hope will be a sunshine filled weekend, crammed with a new hairstyle (I always get super giddy when I have an appointment at the salon), Cinco de Mayo festivities, and of course the usual weekend chores. Maybe even some baking too ;)

My weekly happiness...

Beachin'

I have the beach on my brain and I'm eagerly awaiting my first trip down to the shore this summer. Since Memorial Day is just a few weeks away, I don't have to wait too long, but I have to pray for nice weather! It's time to get my tan on! (Oy, do I sound like Snooki from The Jersey Shore?!)

Since I'm craving salty water in my hair, sand between my toes, and tan lines, I figured I'd put together a little round up of some beach-worthy pieces that I'm totally lusting after for the summer. Seems like they'd would be more appropriate for the South of France or Tahiti, but a girl can dream can't she?

Wardrobe Wednesday

It was quite hard not to want to stay in bed all day with this dreary NYC weather. I think April showers have been delayed for May. Not sure that I'm a fan of it. Isn't it supposed to be warm and sunny now??

Regretfully, I had to leave my pjs behind, and opted for my favorite green 7FAM cargo pants. I paired it with a nude, silk, rose printed Rebecca Taylor peplum top, some neutral heels, and some rose gold jewelry. It's simple and romantic, but still comfy enough for this grey day.

Bright Lights with Earnest Sewn

A few months back, we were editing through some samples that we had called in for a cover shoot (with Elle Macpherson--on stands now!) when I came across the perfect pair of colored denim. Ever. Thank you Earnest Sewn. The color was amazing, the stretch was just right, and I became totally obsessed. I emailed my friend who does PR for ES, needing to know when the jeans would be available online to purchase. I'm telling you, I was obsessed.

As soon as I was able to, I pre-ordered the jeans in hot pink--if I was going to get color, I was going to go all out. The color was even better than I had remembered (so neon and vibrant), and it has been hard not to wear them all the time. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be known as 'the girl with the hot pink pants' on the subway by the time summer ends. I'm okay with that though.

Beat the Heat

I came across this Harpers Bazaar shoot, shot by my favorite, Tommy Ton. I love the luxe surfer girl look, and think this is a great take on sexy, sporty, summer style.

TGIF! This week has been quite a stressful one at work, and I am welcoming the weekend with open arms. Not much happening this weekend, but I'm looking forward to chilling out, and enjoying some downtime. I will be walking in the March of Dimes walk on Sunday at FDU with my mom's company though, and I'm looking forward to getting outdoors...even though its supposed to be cold. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. See you back here on Monday <3

Happiness in the form of liquid and puppies...
