Summertime is so darn sweet! Many wonderful things that happen during summer. I close my eyes and can almost taste homemade blackberry cobbler topped with homemade ice cream (I can almost hear fireworks in the background as well)! For some reason, that is what my mind immediately thinks of these days. Well, that and SPF tanning oil that smells all tropical! Man, I sure do miss having a pool. I plan on spending a few afternoons poolside trying to maintain my color from vacation.

Do you have any big or exciting plans? In a few weeks, I will be visiting New Orleans for a work conference. My husband is flying down, and we are going to eat and explore the city for a long weekend. We LOVE this city! If you have any recommendations that are off the beaten path, please let me know. I would love to hear from you!

Guys, I have been dying to share this outfit with you. I feel like this showcases my true style. This J.Crew berry print was made into a skirt and button-down this spring. It was obvious to me to pair it with the matching top, but I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to find the perfect top that was an unexpected compliment. I also have paired this skirt with a white (even though the skirt is ivy in color) tee, a navy tee, and a red tee. It would also look amazing with a navy and white gingham button-down as well. Statement prints like this mixed berry make an impression! People don't forget something this bold. I try and keep it on a rotation and mix it up each time I wear it. That keeps it feeling fresh and fun!

Last week I told you about my favorite little Stillwater boutique, Wooden Nickel. No joke, they have the best selection of jewelry. I have had my eye on these Lisi Lerch tassel earrings for years. My favorite southern bloggers love this brand! I feel like it is finally hitting Oklahoma. Let me just take a moment and talk Oklahoma fashion. I have lived here my entire life (so don't yell at me after you read this next sentence, k?). Oklahoma is late to the fashion trend adoption game. I swear things hit Oklahoma like seasons after they hit the coast. Hear me out, I feel like Tulsa and Oklahoma City are a little more fashion forward. All of that to say, when I saw these Lesi Lerch earrings at Wooden Nickel, I was presently surprised! I was even more shocked to see these $98 earrings marked down to $19.99. Winning, I think yes! Now taking applications to be your personal shopper (only halfway kidding).
