Cobalt Maxi

I'm pretty terrible at making a ponytail look special. It usually winds up looking exactly the same every time. This time, however, I decided to give it my all by breaking out the teasing comb and adding a little volume. Still not a monumental difference, but at least I tried.

Any suggestions on how you add some oomph to your pony tail? If you have a tutorial or suggestion, share in the comments below!

P.S I will be back mid-week from my honeymoon, so that will all from me until I return home.

Summer Time Classics

This dress is two summers old and I still think it's just perfect every time i wear it. It never gets old. These sandals, however, actually are old. I mean really old, like six years maybe, and in shoe years that's like 100. I've never been able to get rid of these old classics because they are just so darn comfy, easy to slip on and match with all things summer!

What do you have that you consider a summer classic?

Lace Baseball Hat

I'm pretty sure the words "lace" and "baseball hat" have never been used together, but here they are, and paired with a skirt nonetheless!

My hair could not be allowed out on such a humid day so I had to contain it. This cap has been sitting in my closet since I heard the first whispers of the baseball hat trend months ago, yet I never really found a chance to wear it (it really didnt go with my professional teacher look). 

Making the best of bad hair days - yet another reason I love summer accessories.

Joe Fresh Summer Stripes

Have you noticed that I'm getting a lot of wear out of this Fan Fringe Necklace? It just seems to go with everything summer related and I'm totally fine with that. Not to mention these silly heart sunglasses that scream summer, too! Gotta love summer accessories.

By the way you may see this dress again... in a different color scheme. I picked it up at my beloved Joe Fresh when I was in New York and liked it so much I bought both colors it came in!

Navy and White Stripe Maxi

This dress was worn on one of those days when it's too humid to want to wear anything. The tee-shirt comfiness was perfect for a nice casual dinner out in Greek Town. And for $14, this dress was a steal!
