the look: summer 2010

okay, okay. so...this isn't really THE look, it's more like MY look for what my summer is going to consist of.

i pretty much hold it down with all the classics: a well-fitted tee, a little sun protection and my go-to j.crew khaki shorts. i like to consider it the middle ground between the staff that are unshowered in sweatpants, and those that look ridiculous in full hair and make-up, thinking that the middle of the woods is a place where accessories and perfume are required.

for me, i tend to be satisfied if i find a clean shirt, slap some deodorant on, and wash off my feet before sticking them into my sleeping bag. at camp, it really is all about the little things.

1. giants hat 2. rainbows 3. american apparel {sheer jersey short sleeve women's summer t}

dress me.

just a little bit of fantasy exploring on etsy. i love so much of the clothes that i find and i love that the pieces are so individual and fresh.

all found on etsy.

1. i adore this fantastic autumnal sweater by LittleHouses that i'd wear with everything.

2. Tres Beau knit dress that would look bangin' on someone thinner than yours truly.

3. adorable light pink top and high-waisted skirt from Tea & Crumpets.

4. yummy grey sweater from Lirola to pair with some skinny jeans and colored flats.

woody

inspired by a potential camping trip this weekend, i think it is more than appropiate the share one of my latest obsessions:

wood grain.

i bought this great packaging tape today, and i can't wait to get some more designs. i'll have to find more excuses to send packages now. (not that i'm complaining.)

found on tapeswell.
