I'm having a moment with palms...sorry I'm not sorry! 

Between designing for a little side project I'm doing and updating my Summer wardrobe, it's pretty easy to see that palms are serving as my main inspiration. With cheeky tees, fun clutches, not so common denim & bold bikinis that can be taken from the beach to the streets, it's hard not to include these natural beauties in every outfit this season. 

Will you be having a palm tree moment with me?

Endless Summer

Dress: Esther Boutique (loving these t-shirt dresses here, here & here for Summer too) | Heels: Zara (similar styles here, here & here) | Clutch: El Barril Local Artisans | Hat: Unknown (love these ones here, here & here)

I am so excited to finally share this dress with you! The amazing girls at Esther Boutique sent this number over a couple of weeks ago and I've been dying to feature it on the blog...I'm pretty sure I will be living in this t-shirt dress this Summer. Since the print makes the dress standout, I decided to keep the rest of my look simple - I added my new favorite heels from Zara and a black baseball hat to play up a little athletic vibe. 

The clutch is an amazing piece my parents brought back from their trip to Mexico. I will have more info on that later but I'm going to leave you with this - it's made from chip bags! Crazy, right? I am absolutely obsessed with it and there's more where that came from! Stay tuned for a post dedicated to these local artisans in El Barril, Mexico.
