Summer suits

I've been wearing the same swimsuit every summer for the last seven years (?!). Maybe longer. And even though I hate hate hate it at this point, I can't bring myself to buy a new one. It's like, I'd rather just stay unhappy with this one since I know all its faults. Why feel disappointment in a new suit after all these years? I was surprised when I browsed Anthro's swimsuits because I often think their clothes are super-ugly. But the suits were cute!

Short, shorter, shortest

Until I found my teal shorts, I had been scouring shops to find the right pair at the right price. And really, I'm so cheap that spending $20 on a pair of shorts was hard for me.

To help you out, here's a round-up of shorts that hopefully fit every budget and style:

Poolside

Aspen and I joined some friends at the pool this week and I was wishing for a sunhat as I sat in 100degree weather. Even with SPF 50 my nose got pink after an hour at the pool. Yikes. So I need a sunhat next time, and another application of sunscreen.

Delight in J. Crew

I admit I've purchased clothes from J. Crew for Aspen. In my defense, it's usually at the outlet (when I visit my parents) or when items are on sale online for less than $10 each. Otherwise, I can't justify spending that kind of money on clothes Aspen will only wear for a few months before they're too small (or stained beyond saving!).

It doesn't stop me from occassionally checking out full-priced merchandise just for fun, though! See what I'm loving for this summer for Aspen (in a dream world):

Delight in BHLDN

I had a really low-key wedding, and if I had to do it all over again I probably wouldn't change much. But that can't keep me from appreciating all the beautiful elements BHLDN offers to create a romantic wedding and/or reception. Check out some of my favorites below (and just click the photo to see more).
