After my red rain boots ripped, I didn't rule out Hunter boots completely. I love the light weight of these Tour boots, so figured I would give them one more try. If the new pair also rips, then well, fool me twice shame on me. I thought about getting the same red color again, but decided I liked this mustard yellow just as much. Life is too short for regrets.

There are so many cute ways to wear a scarf. The simplest might just be draping it over the shoulders. It doesn't add warmth (not necessary this time of year anyway), but it does add visual interest. Simplicity at its best.

Stripes, oh how I love thee. It's a pattern that suits any occasion -- work, dressy, weekends, just to name a few, and one that I can't get enough of. Oh, periwinkle blue? Don't mind if I add that to my growing collection.

Heatwave or not, summer has officially arrived! It's been particularly challenging this year because the combination of humidity and allergies has been kicking my butt. I do what I can to stay comfortable, like wearing breathable cotton to stay cool and also sunglasses to shield flying pollen. As an added bonus, it also hides my watery eyes... though not much can be helped when the waterworks start on very high pollen days.
