A Guide to Summer Weddings: Dressing the Bride

With all of the commotion surrounding your wedding, it can seem overwhelming having to decide what to wear to all of your events. Here's a little guide to give you a hand!

Father's Day gift ideas

My dad is pretty awesome, so I always have a lot of fun coming up with gifts ideas for him. So, with Father's Day being just under two weeks away, I thought I'd compile a list of a few gifts that any dad would love to receive!

Four best coats for rainy summer days

It's been forecasted to rain today, but Al and I have already planned to go to the park. And, even though, right now, the skies seem to be agreeing with the weatherman's predictions, I think we might still venture out into the rain. Just for the heck of it. Here are a few options for days when staying in from the rain is not an option...

For your long morning bike rides, an Iva Jean rain cape will keep you totally dry, and can be easily removed as you run into your neighborhood cafe and pick up a baguette.

A basic hooded raincoat in a fun print or color is perfect for those warm, but cloudy, days when rain is expected, but not imminent. Once the skies clear or the rain lets up, simply fold it up in a pouch and toss it away until next time!

For traveling to or through rainy towns and cities, the Mycra Pac travel coat is ideal. It's super lightweight so it's easy to pack, and its smart design will have you looking stylish, even in the rainiest weather (plus the collar doubles as a hood and looks surprisingly dressy!).

A classic trench coat is a tried and true staple and works in any setting. Plus, it looks super cute with skinny jeans and red flats.

Which of these raincoats would you wear?

Thanks so much, Susan!

Have a lovely weekend

I'm writing this post as my sweet bread dough rises in the refrigerator. I think I messed it up. But we'll see. 

My sleeping schedule has been waaaay outta whack this week, so I really need to get back on track this weekend. 

Not much left to say, as the clouds are rolling past and making me sleepy. I'm off to sketch. Or browse. Or nap.

What are you going to be doing this weekend? Cooking a healthy dinner? Napping? Painting your toes? Do tell!

P.S. Enter the giveaway! Two prizes, two winners!
