We have a special guest appearance on the blog today!  Two weeks ago, the boyfriend and I took a weekend trip up to Rhode Island for my birthday.  As we strolled through the Brown University campus in Providence, I thought it would be the perfect backdrop to get him and his summer uniform out in front the camera.

We were both wearing chambray that day, making us that gross couple that wear matching clothes.  But I didn’t mind as much, because chambray is such an easy going fabric that it’s a staple for the both of us this summer.  Colored shorts and boat shoes and  voilà: he perfect outfit for another east coast adventure.  Man, guys have it so easy.

Want to see more of the boyfriend?  Slightly creepy, but click here and here and I promise I won’t judge!

My outfits so far this week have been decidedly moody.  Darker, richer colors are seeping their way back into my wardrobe as it feels like fall is just around the corner.  And even though temps have been significantly cooler than usual, I have to remind myself that it’s still summer!  I need to stop dwelling on how fleeting the last weeks of the season feel and start enjoying all the adventures there are left to be had.  So today’s cheerier attitude calls for a much peppier outfit — and nothing says summer summer summertime than chambray, sandals and polka dots.

There are a few things in life that will never get old: morning strolls by the water, the view of the Manhattan skyline, and floral print frocks.  … Okay, so maybe the first two have a little more longevity, but I love that there’s an infinite amount of ways to wear florals.  This is my first foray into mirrored prints and I’m really digging the sleek and modern twist on an otherwise everyday classic.  This dress will definitely be in heavy rotation both in and out of the office as we transition from summer to fall.
