XO

my style file :: i get it from my mama.

visiting my favorite person in the world this week - my mama!

and ...

my entire flowy summer ensemble is from HER closet...

happy hump day!

dirty prettiness.

hey. yeah.

 i refuse to apologize for my lack of blogging...

same song, SAME verse.

blah, blah, blah.

moving on.

i'm in my homeland - Arkansas - this week (woo pig sooie)

and it's raining like mad outside.

i sort of love thunderstorms.

...for about 1.5 hours.

then i'm ready for sunshine.

this yuck weather makes me want a pair of "wellies".

(have you heard rainboots called this before?

it's new to my vocab as of .NOW.)

these pics are from the UK's Coachella - Glastonbury.

i heart music festivals, mud, and NOW - WELLIES.

(oh and alexa chung & kate moss. that's a given though)

peace out. happy tuesday!

more blog posts to follow. cross my heart.

i'm divin' in.

it's almost Memorial Day weekend.

heck to the yes.

that means - it's almost officially Summer.

{and a 3 day weekend on the lake}

how are you celebrating?

side note(s):  if the weekend is not reason enough to celebrate - cheers to this week's pop culture :

kim k got a 20 carat engagement ring (seriously?), the Dallas Mavericks made it to the NBA Finals, cutie patootie scotty is the new american idol, oprah went out with a bang,

& the freaking "hangover 2" is out today.

sheesh.

back to the weekend topic.

i love lake time.

because i don't have to wear make-up or wash my hair for 3 days.

does that gross you out?

well. i don't care if it does.  

however you may be celebrating this weekend -

here are a few cute ideas to check out for your overall

"kick off the summer" look :

roxy cover-up

milly cover-up (or dress).

victoria's secret 

madewell tote

juicy couture hat

and ... i just liked this random photo below.

have a great day!

XOXO

sweaty mess? don't even care.

is it time for a trip to the beach yet?

i want to sweat.

i want an umbrella drink.

i want a freaking tan.

{top 2 photos : LF Spring}

i spend about 365 out of 365 days a year daydreaming about a tropical get-away.

whether you actually get a real vacation in the sunshine in the next few months or just long for the glorious days of summer...the feel-good/warm weather clothing you get to throw on is all the same.

and i love it.

BRING.IT.ON.

{refinery29}

Electric colors, woven fabrics, worn-in cut-off daisy duke denim, floor length hippy dresses, girly crochet, 

big hats...smaller hats...hats period.

it's all a part of warm weather fashion for 2011.

i loved the below recent editorials - showcasing some great looks for sweet summa-time.

i think i'll turn on Bob Marley's
"Three Little Birds" to keep my little mood  going strong through the morning...
