So bright

For me, summer is all about trying things that are bright and bold. A punchy orange dress, white nail polish, and these statement sunglasses from Under Armour in shiny marble - easy pieces making a huge impact.

This week has been decidedly grey however, not a single day have I needed to wear these fabulous sunglasses; it has been nothing but rain and crazy thunderstorms. I don't delight at the idea of needing to take my rain boots for a spin, I am a fair weather blogger.

  8. Ooooooh! I am digging the white polish! And this dress looks AMAZING on you! We've had rain and storms nearly everyday also. Kind of refreshing for our dry climate, but kind of annoying for many summer activities.

  9. Because I never dress boldly in summer I love seeing others do it - and how fun is that dress?

  11. The color and cut of the dress are so flattering on you. It's been unseasonably grey and cold here for the past couple of days, so I've been rocking my regular glasses nonstop.

  18. Isn't that always the way? You get fabulous new sunglasses and suddenly, the sun disappears! Murphy's Law, I guess. I'm glad you decided to wear them anyway... new things should always get their day in the sun, no matter what the weather. Plus, they look so fabulous with your red dress. I don't know if I've ever seen you wear this much red but I love it! Such a great colour on you.

  26. You look wonderful in bright red. And I really like the fit of the dress. Also the clutch seems like a perfect summer item - it somehow has a beachy/sea feeling about it, doesn't it? :)

  36. I have always wanted to do a white mani, but I always think it won't look right on me.
    I think I just may try it out this week!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh, the white mani+dress+clutch are a total winner combo.
    I had my nails in white last week and constantly kept looking at them as i am still getting use to them.
