Pinterest Wednesday

Before I get to Pinterest Wednesday, there's a whole lot going on today! It's Dave Barnes' birthday, so happy birthday sir! It is also National Wear Your Lilly Day! So, get out there (in this heat wave) and wear your Lilly proudly.

Last but not least, Happy First Day of Summer! Summer is my favorite season of the entire year and I'm very excited to kick off this summer with a little bit of Pinterest Wednesday. Two trends that I'm totally loving so far this summer are: high-low dresses/skirts and pleats! Put both of those together and it is just gorgeous. Last week for cMm's birthday, I wore a blue watercolor pleated high-low dress and was absolutely loving the ensemble. Pair that with the wind and you've got some great movement going on in that outfit.

Not all high-low skirts work though. It's gotta be the right length, print, and must be correctly accessorized. Pinterest has a few great ideas!

Great color, scarf, and belt! You can't go wrong with a cute pair of wedges to pull the outfit all together!

This dress has a super cute print and I'm just a huge fan of those wedges.

Not a high-low but it is pleated. Loving this ensemble! The gold belt and accessories make it work.

Mint is so hot right now and what better than a pleated mint colored skirt?? Um, that bauble and pink belt!

What are your thoughts on the high-low trend?

One Busy Sunday

This is one busy Sunday! There is so much to celebrate.

First up, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! It's a bummer that my dad has to work on Father's Day, but it's been like this for the past 20 years of my life. We're pretty use to it. The family just simply celebrates this special day on a different day.

NEXT: It is one of my best friend's 21st birthday! June seems like a busy month for birthdays. Today we celebrate my friend Julia's birthday. I absolutely cannot believe we have known each other almost 11 years now. Crazy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA!

In other news, I am headed to Niagra Falls/Toronto tonight with my parents. I am fully prepared for my mind to be blown by this world wonder!



Pinterest Wednesday

Is it a bit shocking that in the past week, I haven't really been on Pinterest? Usually, I'm the Pinterest Queen who pins away. This past week has been a bit busy so, my apologies for the lack of pins. However, I did pin a few random little things this week. Mostly words of inspiration to get me going.

Anyone else have this problem?

How awesome is this?

I'm very grateful to be surrounded by incredible women who set the example for me.

Following me on Pinterest yet?

I'd also like to take a moment and wish my Little cMm a HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY! Oh how they grow up so fast!!! She is one fabulous lady who brings such joy to my life and is ALWAYS there for me. I'm beyond stoked to be reunited tonight, hit the town, and celebrate her life! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!
