Can you tell I’ve gotten some sun this week? I’m pretty excited about the little glow I’ve got going, even though I’ve been lathering and layering on the sunscreen. A clothing item I used to take for granted but now wear all the time when outdoors is a hat. Whether it’s a baseball cap or a fancy fedora, I’m all about protecting my face from the sun. This summer I picked up this cute one from Tory Burch – don’t you just love the white grosgrain ribbon? It’s such a chic and light addition to your summer and vacation wardrobe. Did I mention the hat is also available with a navy ribbon or a rust-colored ribbon? So many options! I chose white for versatility and because it goes best with my coloring. Another fedora I’m loving is this crochet embellished one. The beading is gorgeous!
Did you know that Tory Burch is having an awesome sale right now? That’s how I got this number at a discount. Don’t you love the print and silhouette of this caftan? So easy. This caftan is a similar print in the same color scheme, but a longer version for those of you who prefer that. Obsessed with this bikini top and bottom (now both are under $100)! I would have already purchased this adorable embroidered dress, however I already have two friends that own it. It really is the cutest. This pair of gold sandals is pretty perfect for weddings, year-round. I’m still hoping this resin minaudiere ends up on my doorstep at some point! If you’re looking for neutral accessories, this scarf is a keeper. Click here to check out the sale!
These photos were taken outside of my room at Lake Austin Spa Resort – isn’t the archway beautiful? Stay tuned on Monday where you’ll see all of my photos and a full recap of my stay at the resort! Today is my birthday (the big 2-7) and I’m taking today off to welcome my Dallas friends to Austin for a weekend on the lake – hope you all have a fun weekend!

Such a great summer outfit! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Love this outfit. Perfect for spa!
Perfectly laid back! I love a great panama hat. Ever since I bought one, I reach for it more times than not. And those sandals are a refreshing alternative to flip flops. I bought a similar pair from Old Navy and was surprised at how comfortable they are!
