Babydoll Season

It's officially summer, in an unofficial way - how many times have you heard advertisers use that term already? Haha, we can't help it but it's the perfect catchphrase for MDW.

It might as well be summer, the humidity is in overdrive and making this pollen tsunami way worse than it needs to be. Regardless, you have to make the most of it so I've been wearing all my sundresses, shifts and babydoll dresses on repeat. 

I also got a few favorites from Tobi.com for my upcoming music festival trips (anyone here going to GovBall or Firefly??). The price is on point and wont guilt you if end up dancing up a sweat-storm at any festival (i.e. me).

Dress: c/o Tobi.com  Bangle: Kenneth Jay Lane  Purse: c/o Quilted Koala Shoes: Boohoo.com  Sunglasses: Ray-Bans  Lipstick: Cruella via NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

I also got this cute little number for Summer Fridays at the office. I dressed it up with a red lip and black shoes. No one does a meeting on a summer Friday so there's no real need to worry about covering my arms. But, if the occasion arises I can always toss on a black cardigan.

Also, if you plan on doing a meeting on a Summer Friday - don't. Make it for Thursday or even Monday instead, trust me when I say people's attention spans will be so much better when you avoid Summer Fridays.

P.s. If any of you are in NYC this week, in particular this Thursday please stop by the Anniversary Celebration for the Limelight Shops. I'll be hosting it along with Lynn Do from NeckbreakinStyle.com and a few other bloggers. RSVP here, stop by and say hi!

Laid Back

Guys, this weekend was amazing! Remember that half I was telling you about, well it happened on Saturday. I managed to get a PR (personal record) and had the most uh-mazing nap after.

In fact a lot of sleeping and eating happened right after the half, can you blame me tho? Also, allergies. They almost made the half impossible but I prevailed without Claritin - still don't know how I was able to breathe. 

After 13.1 miles of running (5 miles of that in the rain) all a girl wants to do is wear birks without offending the office. In fact all I (and my feet) want to do is be comfortable AF. Still, I gotta look, you know presentable.

Top: Viva Aviva  Skirt: c/o Long Tall Sally  Earrings: Target (similar)  Purse: c/o Sakroots  Shoes: Birkenstocks  Belt: Vintage  Sunglasses: Supers  Lipgloss: Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Megan

Enter this amazing maxi long enough to hide all of my guilty pleasures which consist of my white birks and food baby (running really works up an appetite). I was lucky enough to find this top on sale on Shopbop. I've been eyeing it since NYFW 14 - after a long wait I bit the bullet before buyer's remorse set in. Gotta tell you - there are no regrets either! Since a long weekend lies ahead I've been using this large carry-all from Sakroots to help me keep it together.

But, when Monday (yasss Memorial Day) comes over it'll be my beach tote. What are your plans for the long weekend?

Performance Wear

Only a few more days until pounding the pavement for the #airbnbbkhalf!

Training these last few weeks have been rough schedule-wise. You got your AM runs, yoga classes, showroom visits + events, and let's not forget what pays the rent - a 9 to 5 job. Trying to look semi-presentable throughout it all is tough but doable since athlesiure is huge right now - can I get a hallelujah!

Which brings me to Lucy's latest spring collection. You can basically go (#lucyletsgo) from sweat to work to cocktails in it, although I'd recommend having some sort of base under it to do the sweating in and later peeling it off. Otherwise things can get a little stinky (if we're being honest).

Shirt: c/o Lucy  Pants: c/o Lucy  Purse: Zara  Sneakers: Nike  Sunglasses: Asos (similar)  Rings: Rita & Royal  Lipgloss: Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Megan

I'm living in these Dance Workout Capris from Lucy and if the time calls for a dressier look - strappy heels work wonders. As for the jewelry, I've been skipping necklaces and earrings and opting for gold midi rings from local designer Jewels of June instead. The gold plated rings look best when stacked so make sure to get more than 1 from her site or mix and match with what you have at home.
