Unabashedly Bright

Lilly Pulitzer is almost a southern staple, but you don't have to be a college sorority girl to pull off the cheery prints. My love hate relationship for Lilly continues as I gravitate towards to vibrant colors but shun some of the loud florals that hung in my closet in the year 2000. This simple cotton dress boasts color, but the busy pattern consists of swirls, dots and even a lion if you look closely. I'm a fan of the Palm Beach inspired island attire on this toasty humid day!

Pirate Flag and an Island Girl

It took a little vitamin D to get me into a spring like mood. After some time off from blogging, I'm back with no tights or heavy overcoats. Actually, I'm embracing the opposite. A getaway to paradise put me on island time and what better way to celebrate sun and sand than in a light-weight cover-up and sandals...oh, and a margarita doesn't hurt!

Just Add Sun

Warm weather brings sweet summertime back into existence and more of my weekends are spent sea-side. This light-weight breezy cover-up reminds me of resort-wear at its finest. The rainbow of brights beside crystal blue water put me directly on island time. Accessories include a small muted gold shimmer clutch and a basic, natural sandal.
