Golden summer days

I’ve always had some serious love for the laid-back Southern California styles of Planet Blue and all the boho-chic awesomeness they have to offer. This lookbook popped up in my inbox recently and immediately got those dance-around-in-a-summertime-field juices flowing. Braids, shades and white floaty dresses, anyone?

Insomnia

Sleep is something I battle with on a fairly regular basis, and more so as of late. There’s nothing worse than tossing and turning all night, stressing about the day to come and how tired you’ll be. I was discussing this with my friend Rachel the other day, and she suggested that if you’re gonna be battling insomnia, you might as well be wearing something cute and comfortable, so here are a few sleepwear picks. Let’s hope their cuteness eases me off to sleep.

Pops of neon

Ok, ok – I know everyone is getting tired of neon. But you know what? I’m not. I can’t get enough of it. I was reminded of this yesterday when one of my favorite bloggers discussed her love of the return of neon, noting particular affection for it given her status as a child of the ’80s. Possessionista’s got an awesome collaboration going on with LaSoula expressing that love of neon – and diamonds (see below, number 8. And remember that my birthday is just around the corner). Anyway, I too was a child of the ’80s and am seriously digging the bright accents cropping up everywhere, so I figured I’d share a couple with y’all, though there are so many awesome pops of electric color floating around the interwebs right now that it was hard to select just a few.
