Ripe With August Rain

The August rain hanging in the air this past weekend made for some mist-filled photos. It wasn't raining quite yet, but very soon after these were taken the sky spewed its downpour upon the wedding taking place below. Luckily, the venue had been moved indoors.  

Wearing a T by Alexander Wang dress, Diane von Furstenberg wedges, Swarovski crystal necklace & earrings via Security Jewelers, Tiffany's bone cuff, and Prada clutch. 

The sheer sections of this dress weren't enough to stave off the stifling heat of the midwest in August, but the wedding was a blast nonetheless. It's always good to spend time with family. 

Flying in Flats

Shift dresses are one of my favorite styles ever. They're quintessentially classic, incredibly versatile, and this particular one is also extremely comfortable. Theory has figured out precisely how to cut a dress to make it the best dress ever. And the best suit ever, but I'll save that for another post. 

Wearing a Theory dress, Vera Wang Lavender flats, Elizabeth & James sunglasses, Louis Vuitton Speedy, and my Raymond Weil. 

As I find flying to be impossible in pumps, the flats were a must. After all, you steer with your feet on the ground!

All You Need Is Love

Sometimes I like to be a little rock and roll. Most of the time, really. And The Beatles definitely had it right. All you need in love. 

Laughing my head off in Ray Ban Wayfarers, Urban Outfitters tee, Current/Elliott jeans, and Rag & Bone Harrow boots. Can't forget the Speedy.

Love from Wisconsin today. 

A Sunday Smile

Dressing up for Sunday brunch just sounds like fun sometimes. And generally speaking, I'd rather be overdressed than underdressed. 

Wearing a J. Crew dress, Chloé sandals, Louis Vuitton Speedy and bracelet, Tiffany's necklace, Mikimoto pearls via Security Jewelers, and Elizabeth and James Fairfax sunglasses. 

And listening to Beirut, obviously.

On Top of the World (Pike's Peak)

While not the highest peak in Colorado, Pike's Peak is one of the only accessible by vehicle. Thus, the clothing. Hiking a 14er generally requires a bit more gear. 

Even with all the clouds and threatening rain storm, the view from 14,110 feet up is still pretty spectacular. These purple mountains majesty apparently gave rise to the line in "America the Beautiful," and are certainly worthy of such a description. Next time you're in Colorado, check it out.
