Here Comes the Rain

I'm ready to just call it. The rainy season has officially begun in Seattle and I cannot get through it without my Loeffler Randall rain boots and yellow umbrella. I actually refused to buy rain boots before I found this pair. I always thought rain boot styles were a bit chunky and rather unflattering. All I wanted were a pair of rain boots that can also pass as normal shoes and these Loeffler Randall boots were my solution. They're incredibly sleek and simple so they're easy to pair with whatever you choose to brave the weather with.

In the Mood for Hazy Dreams of Golden Light

This weekend we experienced the hottest days in Seattle thus far this summer and dressing for unpleasant weather can be tricky. I never want to look too minimal but on hot days it's much harder to layer up since everything ends up feeling hot and sticky against your skin. I think a good circular skirt is the best thing for a warm day and even better is a circular skirt with pockets! I got this one a few years ago at Forever 21 and it has always been my go-to summer skirt. Carrying a bag or purse on a hot day can weigh you down as much as the heat so the pockets do come in handy for small things. 

If you love the photos as much as I do, they were shot by my talented friend Kevin who is very accommodating.

In the Mood for a Ship of My Own

The May weather has been spectacular in Seattle so far which means I can finally bust out my favorite summer shorts. High waisted shorts can make your legs look like they go on for miles however, they are hard to come by. Lucky enough, this season, American Apparel has begun selling these shorts in every color imaginable which makes me super happy inside.  As much as I love just throwing on a dress in the summer and calling it good, this outfit is what really screams hot weather to me. It's suitable and enjoyable to wear on a boat, to the beach, eating watermelon, riding bikes, and all those favorite summer activities while still looking well put together.

In the Mood for a Splash of Sun

I'd like to note that this is not my dog although he made an adorable accessory and I highly recommend him for anyone who wants something fluffy in their lives. I put together this outfit because I wanted to show off these cutout oxfords. It took me so long to find them in my size and now that I have them, I have to say that they make the perfect shoes for warm weather. Not only are they light weight but they're comfortable and classy. Now all I have to do is watch out for when it rains!
