Do or don't: Boots during summer

Granted, these women all look gorgeous, but just the thought of wearing boots in the hot summer weather makes my feet sweat! My sister loves this trend, but I just don't get it. What about you? Do you fancy wearing boots in the summer?

Have a dreamy weekend!

Labor Day is this Monday, and I'm sooo looking forward to this long weekend. I've been working on my college essays all week, and I've actually been making some pretty good progress! But, tonight is my school's first home football game, so I'm setting down my work for just a little while to go and have some fun! What are you up to this weekend? Going on a hot air balloon ride? Coloring your hair? Hanging out in a tree house? Do tell!

P.S. In honor of this long weekend, here are some groovy things to keep you busy!

A gorgeous necklace that reminds me of the beach

Did I already add this to my prom dress list?

A super fun Toronto wedding. I love the groom's bow tie!

A good "just 'cause" gift for yourself

A pretty makeup look using just the right amount of color

The perfect jacket for transitioning into fall

Is your grandma this fabulous?

I used to play these games almost every day after school!!

My favorite tea of all time

Believe in yourself.

Where would you rather go on a date?

An amusement park, where you'll eat yummy cotton candy and he'll win you a stuffed teddy bear. As you ride the ferris wheel, he'll tell you how cute you look in your henley tee and ask you to hold his keys in your tiny cross-body bag.

Opening night at the theater. He'll get the best possible seats, which he knows you'll love, and you'll wear your most exquisite evening dress, which you know he'll love.

An art gallery, so you can check out some of the latest paintings and sculptures. You'll look so lovely in your striped boatneck tee and olive green skinnies, he'll swear you're a walking oeuvre d’art.

You'll ride your bikes to a soft, grassy spot, lay down your blanket, and have a lovely picnic in the park. All the while, you'll look as pretty as a flower in your dainty lace tank and rolled up shorts.

Or perhaps he'll take you to that über-romantic restaurant you've been dying to try. He'll think you look so beautiful in your silk trimmed tank, that he'll hardly eat a thing.

Which date would you pick?

Bike jewelry

Rachel Pfeffer makes some truly amazing pieces, but I especially love her bicycle-inspired jewelry! They make me wanna go out and buy a bike for myself! But, what about you? Do you ride a bike?

P.S. An adorable cutout of a couple on their bike.
