Fun Shorts Friday with Lobsters

















tee-Style Mint(similar here via Poshmark), shorts-Old Navy(more fun options here), sunnies-DIFF Eyewear, watch-Wenger(similar here), wedges-Eileen Fisher via Nordstrom


This week #funshortsfriday is brought to you by lobsters! 🦞 I love a nautical themed short as seen here, and I also love dressing up like a WASP dude going to brunch seen here and here. So I leaned in and paired these shorts with a striped tee and a summer/waspy classic--wedged espadrilles.  

I've had these novelty printed shorts for a LONG time as seen here and just like in that outfit, for this #OOTD, I have an eclectic mix going. I think when it comes to patterns and prints, you can stick to styling them with other neutrals and basics, or go in a more dynamic direction and pair with bold colors and coordinated prints. However, it can't be all statement-makers, you DO need some grounding pieces, whether it's an accessory or a solid-colored third throw-on piece.  If I WERE going to a waspy brunch (that featured some lobster) I'd maybe don a white or blue blazer, and carry a simple bag. But since I'm not going anywhere, and it's still hotter than heck out, this is just a tee and shorts under a bridge with a graffiti background for your outfit consideration.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...

Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post . But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress.   I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway .  1.   Elie Tahari   Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type.     2.   Kate Spade   This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on.     3.  Milly ...
