Music Monday: Emeli Sande

Happy (belated) Music Monday (whoops!) 
There's so much good summer music out there right now-normally I tend to get a little more country than normal when the sun is shining and the grass turns green but lately I can stop listening to Emeli Sande.
I first loved her when she sang the old hymn "Abide With Me" at the Olympics opening ceremony. Her voice is magnificent her music is majestic. I love the radio hit "Next To Me" but you should really listen to her album to see how amazing she is, here are some of my favorites! 

Hola! Long Time No See?

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I've been so consistently absent for so long, being graduated is weird and it's taken some serious adjusting, but I want to get back into doing the things that make me happy--including blogging! So this week look out for a whole batch of new posts including a Music Monday, some summer looks that I'm loving and a few other fun musings--oh and possible some wedding shop talk on save the dates and invitations!

In the meantime here's a friendly giraffe to keep you company...

Summer Stylin': Classics

As promised, with summer here, I've returned to the blog-o-sphere!

I'm starting to realize that I've been a little print crazy lately-- not that there's anything wrong with that! But sometimes it's nice to just go back to the basics: a solid summer dress in a vibrant color paired with some chic sandals, a classic straw bag and a fun hat to keep the sun away from your face. 

I've loved Jessica from What I Wore's "Coral Crush" look for a long time and when she posted it as a "Ready to Repeat" on Pinterest I definitely agreed!
