Summer Stripes

With breezy fall weather just around the corner, I had one last chance to wear shorts before the end of summer. This past week, the weather has been beautiful here in Boston, so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to wear my new J. Crew shorts. These bright orange and white striped shorts add the perfect pop of color to make this outfit stand out. I paired them with a white ruffled top and braided leather flip flops, along with some braided accessories to match and a long silver necklace for some added shimmer. To top off the outfit, I painted my nails a bright blood orange color from Clinique that matched perfectly with the hue of the shorts.
One of my favorite drinks to cool off with during warm weather is Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks. It's floral flavor combined with the punch of lemon is very refreshing on sunny days. Sometimes I will ask the baristas to blend it if I feel like having a slushy or smoothie. 
The color of the Passion Tea Lemonade reminds me of my Fever Gloss by Lancôme. The Lacôme lip gloss, in the color Exuberant Rose, that I wore for this look went really well with the light, summer vibe of the shorts. I love Lancôme's lip gloss because they come in a wide variety of pigmented colors. With the tear shaped applicator, the gloss applies very smoothly and easily covers the entire lip.

Stay sweet!

Midnight Train

Just a small town girl...
took a midnight train goin' anywhere...

One of my all-time favorite songs is journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Whether I'm out for a morning run or just listening to my iPod while writing, it always inspires me to take on the day.

This summer I'm spending my break in Mississippi where my family just moved. It's so peaceful out here in the country. The grass is green and there are tons of cool train tracks and abandoned roads. 

This look I created is inspired by the country and its rustic feel. I paired an easy lace detail swing top with some shortie shorts from American Eagle and brown leather boots, because every girl needs some cowgirl boots. To top it off, I added a crystal statement necklace from J. Crew for a little sparkle. It's a simple look perfect for every country girl at heart whether you're just hanging out with friends or going to a country concert.
