Double gingham? Don't mind if I do! This outfit has to be a new favorite - it reminds me of the 60s, the ladies in Edward Scissorhands, Grease - so many things I love! The bubblegum pink, cropped sweater is nothing less then perfect, and I'm completely smitten with the high waisted gingham pants. Missguided always blows me away with how adorable their stuff is!
Summer is finally here and I took an inaugural trip to the pool to celebrate! I ended up wearing two trusted favorites: Pretty Attitude has a darling array of bikinis, and this pink, retro inspired set is utterly adorable! I definitely feel more comfortable in high-waisted bottoms - who's with me?
Meanwhile, Sun Jellies continues to be absolutely PERFECT. Last October I styled their pink handbag, so I was over the moon to receive a pair of metallic pink jelly shoes (adorable and actually comfortable!) and one of their totes! This tote is positively darling - with a cute vintage pattern and sizable room, I've been taking it with me wherever I go on pool days, photoshoots, etc...!
Before I even started Mermaidens, Hannah Metz was one of the first "bloggers" I admired - I would see her modeling, photography, and generally beautiful outfit snaps all over Livejournal communities, flickr, and WeHeartIt (what you might call the original Pinterest...)! For years now, Hannah has remained one of my favorite creators for her clear, flawlessly executed aesthetic and endlessly inspiring projects.
Now, Hannah has added "womenswear designer" to her long list of accomplishments (including photographer, stylist, lingerie designer, model...) with the release of the summer collection for her brand new project, HKM! I don't usually post lookbooks, but when I fall 100% in love, I can't help but share my excitement! Sheer fabrics, embroidery, eye and tear motifs - this collection is like somebody plucked pieces right out of my dreams...!

Window shopping downtown...
I stopped by the most darling diner for a strawberry milkshake - the diner was filled with 40s-80s memorabilia and had Rolling Stones and Elvis records decorating the walls! Also, the milkshake was amazing - is there any good retro diners where you live?
Are you a red or pink lipstick kinda gal?
Stopping to smell the flowers...
I accessorized my wiggle dress with red peep toe heels and a strawberry bow!
Visited my grammy and grampy's beautiful garden and found a friend! Molly is my grandma's adorable poodle... who evidently doesn't like to be held haha!
This top by Nishe is so beautiful - I'm really in love with this kind of fitted crop top, and it's unlike any I have in my wardrobe. Pair the gorgeous fit with my weakness - novelty fruit prints, and I'm on cloud nine! The embroidered cherries are gorgeoussss.
And then, the skirt. The SKIRT! I have always wanted to be a ballerina (and tbh? still kinda do.. *cough*) and this stunning, tulle cream skirt by Alexandra Grecco is nothing less then a dream come true.
If you need me, I'm going to be over here, trying to figure out an excuse for wearing this all the time.
Hope you're having a nice week so far! ⑅❛ั◡❛ั⑅
