I just love an easy, breezy dress that gives me freedom of movement. When I put this on, my mood is lifted and my craving for adventure is sparked. I find myself wandering down a path less traveled, and taking my time to stop and smell the flowers.
Summer please don't go.

Love these silk shorts. Light, comfy, cool. Easily casual with a touch of luxe. Summer perfection.

I wandered off for a city escape and found a secret garden. Not sure how I stumbled upon the place, perhaps it called for the flowers on my dress to come along and play.

This is one of my favorite summer dresses for playing in the sun. It was a find at an Elizabeth & James sample sale, and I was immediately attracted to it's delicate ruffles and colorful flowers, its gold chain straps and pearl button accents. I pair it with my simple flat sandals, as the dress always speaks for itself. The light material and gold accents make it perfect for a summer wedding, a party on the beach, or a hop and a skip to a secret flower-filled garden.

Went for a walk in the park and found this handsome, lively bull.
He was attracted to my accessories and I, his multichromatic stare.
Sparks flew and we became instant friends.

Two of the best summer basics are denim shorts and a plain white tee. A white tee can take you almost anywhere, whether it's paired with casual shorts, dressier skirts and pants, or layered under a dress or overalls. It makes any look easygoing and casual-cool. As for denim shorts, those are an obvious go-to for any leisurely summer day, where you may find yourself walking to the park, and exploring the quieter parts of the city. The thing I love about these two pieces is that your options to accessorize are endless. I picked up this headband at one of the many boutiques in Japan, where they are popular. The gladiators are my shoes that will add some spunk to any outfit and keep things from looking plain.
PS- I was not harassing those children, contrary to what the photo may depict. I swear, they were talking to me and telling me about the turtles that were skimming the surface of the algae-blanketed pond. They liked me, really.
