Books & shoes? Two of my favorite things! Photo by Cooper Carras.

Summer is finally upon us (seriously, 80 degree weather just arrived) and all I want to do is pack a picnic, lay on some soft grass, and read a good book.

She’s got the right idea…

…and she does too. Here’s hoping the weather sticks around this weekend when I’ll be able to leave the office and enjoy. Happy Wednesday!

Go for a drive in this countryside especially in this vintage car.

And then eat some ice cream from a small town ice cream shop. Yum.

Everyday I struggle with my insanely small closet and where exactly I’m suppose to put all my pretty shoes. I love this idea above of creating a wall of shelves tucked behind linen drapes to store all my pretties.

Though this solution might work better for me– colored molding to hold all your pumps- so darn pretty and it doubles as artwork too.

Though if I had the space, I’d be all over a vintage armour like this.

Or this one too, sigh.

Shoes + fabulous jewelry? Oh, fo sho! Photo by Mike Larson.

I’m super excited to announce I’m contributing this week to Aisledash! For these posts I thought it would be fun to take inspiration for Alina Pizzano’s recent wedding dress collection and turn them into inspiration boards for a wedding design. You can check out the first post here. Enjoy!

I love these shoes, especially since I picked them for Shoepick back in December and I also happen to have bought a pair myself. They are the most comfortable heels I own! Gorgeous photo by the lovely Jasmine Star.

Today I’d love to lounge around in bed and read that stack of magazine that’s been accumulating on my bedside table…

But there is laundry to do and a whole weeks worth of chores…

Not to mention puppy sitting and some very important phone calls to made. Happy Monday everyone!

Layers of pink, ethereal feathers, hand made into the perfect haute couture hat? Sign me up!

And for a daytime look, an equally fabulous nude hat and matching dress.

A hat plus over-sized purple flower detail? Too lovely! Oh, if only big fabulous hats were still apart of everyday fashion…

PS I can’t believe this is my 702 post on the blog!

The sun is finally shining and the beach is calling my name.

I’d bring a picnic and decorate in a palatte of sunny yellows and cobalt blues.

And, of course, I’d bring a beach ball and a good book. Happy Monday!
