American Summer

Summer is the season that ignites all of your favorite memories - sandy hair, backyard grilling, ice-cream runs, short shorts, music blasting in the car as you drive down the highway... and the list can go on and on. This past weekend I was able to indulge in a little summer memory making by going to Lake Geneva. It's such a beautiful and serene place; a hidden gem. I got ready that morning with no expectations of going there, so I threw on my summer uniform: shorts, tee, booties and sunnies (hat optional because of the heat). Had I known there was a 26 mile trail/walk, I would have decked myself out in something a little more...athletic. I went with my family and my sister snapped these quick little photos.The scenery was so beautiful, I have to go back!

I want to do more trips like this, so if there's any cool suggestions floating around on the interwebs, let me know - cheers to the summa'time!

Céline Sunnies

Yo! (yeah, I just said "yo"...channeling my inner Pinkman today, anyone out here watch Breaking Bad? I am itching for the final season!)

I thought I'd introduce you guys to my newest hater blockers/sun protectors/sunnies...my new Céline Oversized 'Audrey' babies - yes, inspired by Audrey Hepburn. They are everything I could ever want from a pair of sunglasses: black, oversized, slight cat eye shape,  super dark and minimalistic. I had bought these Prada sunnies a while ago but ended up returning them because they were too see-through for my liking - everything else was awesome. However, the universe worked in my favor and brought these into my life. They are a bit heavy on the face but that just reassures me that they're the perfect sturdy investment piece. I won't say much more, because they can speak for themselves.

Sidenote: I always put a song in every post because I think it's nice to connect others with what I'm into/what inspires me.  Music is so euphoric to me, no matter how cheesy or deep it can be - it transcends and has the power to move people (I know, it's not always that serious, but just think about it for a second...) On that note, I just came across the singer/artist Lorde - I don't know why her music was never in my life before. I AM IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING SHE DOES. Check out her musical styling of "Tennis Court" below and enjoy!
