what are you doing this weekend?

happy friday, loves! aren't these photos lovely? they're by anna aden, via the lovely luphia, and i can't stop staring at them--for me, they're the epitome of summer.

anyway, what are you all up to this weekend? i don't really have any concrete plans, but last sunday night i ended up listening to live music at a little place by the beach with a good friend, so maybe there'll be a repeat of that. i also managed to clean out my closet this week--no small feat--so i imagine i'll be taking a trip to goodwill and maybe doing a little thrifting at some of sarasota's great consignment shops. throw in lots of friend time, as usual, and it sounds like a great weekend to me!

have a fantastic few days and i'll see you back here on monday! xoxo, thanks for always being so wonderful.

gorgeous details...

...by angel sanchez. seriously, i'm swooning. love.

those summer nights.

last night i went out for sangria with some friends. i had red, my friend m. had white and our other friend, a., had a loaded corona. then i met up with my other friends k., c. and t. for greek salads at our favorite greek restaurant. salads and sangria--can you ask for anything more perfect on a hot summer night?

what's your favorite beat-the-heat strategy? xo!

loving: butterfly-themed wedding.

i have a giant soft spot in my heart for butterflies (ask me about my undergrad thesis sometime), so i was immediately smitten with laura and ben's beautiful butterfly-themed wedding. how pretty are these photos?

summer lovin'.

good morning! love these beautiful, beachy photos by camilla akrans for italian elle, via oh joy!

how were your weekends, my lovelies? summer always makes me want to read more, so i devoured the book julie & julia, which made me even more excited about the movie, and am thinking a reread might be necessary. don't you love books that make you want to do that? xo!
