Hold On To Summer

I feel no sort of rush to stop wearing summer clothes, which may or may not be because Houston is sure to continue feeling like a sauna for another two months (at least). So I'm keeping it easy breezy on here for now and giving you a (hopefully) nice break from the velvets and furs that are dominating your air waves. Keep the spritzes a'coming.

Dress For The Ring You Have

I know I can't be making this up... and if memory serves me right, back in the day when I used to get drunk off wedding magazines, there were often engagement-ring personality quizzes - a'la if you're x, then you're a princess cut or if you're y, round's the shape for you.

Gone are my days of wedding magazines (replaced by wedding websites), gone are the days of personality quizzes (by this point I should know), and gone are the days of wondering what my engagement ring will look like (yo-ho, yo-ho, an emerald-cut life for me). But I did my own form of creative reminiscing when Over the Moon asked me to put looks together inspired by different engagement ring styles. And here you have it.

Green With Mild Anticipation

Anyone else get a weird sense of stressful confusion when you go about your daily morning check-on-my-fav-online-shops routine and get bombarded with fall/winter clothes? There's no word to adequately describe it, but the phrase can you just hold the phone because it's still 100 degrees outside and I'm going to forget about this [insert item here] by the time I can actually wear it pretty much sums it up.

Well that's the current mood over here, which is only diluted when something in an emerald/hunter green hue pops up on my screen, which gets me (slightly) giddy with anticipation. Funny how your favorite color can still muster the same excitement at nearly 30 years of age as it did in kindergarten.

Ear Candy

I need another pair of fun earrings like I need a hole in the head. Big, colorful earrings are my weakness, so when Over the Moon asked me to pick my favorite summertime statement pieces, I went with my tried and true motto: the bigga, the betta. Spice up your earlobes, peoples.

Infinity Day

Apparently today is Infinity Day, a holiday (I can only assume known & celebrated by few), celebrated on the eighth day of the eighth month in honor of all things philosophy (deep questions, universal mysteries, and the like). So what is my contribution to the occassion, you ask? These summertime outfits I love x infinity, le duh. And as for today's rumination: why do I continue to fall in lust with crop tops while being 6 months preggo?
