Summer is here!

I'm not that excited about it, though. I'm not particularly fond of hot weather, or beach traffic (which I'll be in plenty of soon). But there is something so nice about not having to put on a sweater at night, and eating tons of ice cream and s'mores. I recently ordered this dress from Bow and Drape, one of my favorite clothing companies from New York. You can customize just about anything - from sweaters to bathing suits, with appliques or letters. I already customized a sweatshirt (here), and a striped shirt with an elephant drinking a martini (I still need to take a picture of myself in that!) and now I've had the chance to put an ice cream cone on a striped skater dress. I received loads of compliments on it the other day when I wore it out, and I can't wait to wear it again soon. Plus, it's a great dress for twirling! Oh, and the fake ice cream cone is a little decoration I picked up at Target a while ago. I still can't figure out where to hang it, but I'm sure I'll come up with a good spot soon.

This was right after I had my hair done at Dry Bar (from my last post). They're the best!

I'm Going To Graceland (Pt 2)

Lately I've been really into wearing black + neutrals, which is unusual for me considering my wardrobe is filled with so many bright hues. There's something so simple and chic about black, and a little rock & roll, which is what I'm hoping to pull off while visiting Memphis. Some of these items I own and will be bringing (like the bow dress and leggings), some that I've ordered in the mail (rock&roll top), and a couple that are majorly on my wish list (Kate Spade purse, denim jacket). I particularly love that Elvis tote and hope I'll be able to pick one up at one of the souvenir shops around town, and I'll definitely be wearing flats, leggings and one of my slouchy thin pullover sweaters (not pictured here) on the plane ride over. Tomorrow's the day that I embark on my long awaited journey to Memphis! Lots of photos to follow when I return <3
