A trend that has never left yet has become more popular this season is the off the shoulder look. Normally I would not tailor to this style, as I like a little more of a modest look, but I have found a few pieces that look classic and chic to wear. When choosing the right style, I want one that had more of a thicker material and structure, so it does not look so whimsical. Also, one that is right off the shoulder for a more elegant look. I have picked a few that I really like, but this one from Tibi I have been eyeing for a while. I like the bell-shaped sleeves, yet the body of the silhouette is not overly baggie and has some structure to it.

The 4th of July is this weekend which means lots and lots of picnics and parties will be held! And where there is a party there is food! Having sweet treats is always a good idea when hosting a picnic for a special occasions. For me, one of my favorite sweet treats is chocolate covered strawberries. They are easy to make and yummy to eat. With only a few steps, you can have this at any party for little cost and little effort.
Cruising Attire
One of my favorite things to do is to ride my bike. Although I look more Lance Armstrong than Audrey Hepburn while riding it, I love the idea of cruising around town on a cute bike in a cute dress. By the way, how darling is this bike? I would love to have a bike for my Lance day and one for my Audrey days. This dress I have been eyeing for a while as I always believe you can never have too many LWD and this one is just perfect for summer . Definitely a lady-like Audrey look. I can see myself wearing it while perusing the farmers market, having a picnic in the park, shopping all day, brunching with friends, and of course riding my bike. When riding you need the essentials to travel with, a cross body purse to hold your belongings along with a hat and a pair of sunglasses to keep the sun off your face. I am pretty smitten with this pair of sunglasses, they have a cool girl kind of feel as well as being classic looking. I would love to expand my sunglass collection and these would be a perfect addition.
How To Keep Your Home Organized
My family is going to laugh at this post when they read this…. truthfully as much as I hate to admit it, I am not the most organized person. As much as I try to be, I can’t seem to stay organized at home. I leave clothes on the floor all the time, and objects and shoes all over the house. Luckily when it comes to dishes and drinks I clean up after myself– I am not that messy! I consider myself half OCD/messy. I can go to bed not caring if there is an article of clothing on the floor, but also can’t stand living in a pig pen. When I lived in New York I was a neat freak. I was constantly cleaning, organizing and reorganizing my closet, made my bed, wiped down the counters, etc. Since moving back to Columbus, I have been pretty messy–mostly it is contributed to currently living out of boxes, but still, I need to get my tush back in organized gear. So here are some helpful tips on ways to stay organized.
