I feel like I am never bold enough with prints. I love classic, solid, closet staples that can be worn over and over again with all of my other closet staples. I took a leap towards some bold patterns with these pieces from Endless Knot here in Seattle, and I am in LOVE!

This weekend was Seafair here in Seattle! Large battle ships docked at the ports, Seattle was flooded with sailors from the Navy in their white uniforms, hundreds of boats take over the lakes and the Sound, and the festival begins! Hydroplane races, Blue Angels and airplane shows, and battleship tours are just a few things that took place this weekend. Luckily, my parents were in town!  I am so glad they were here to experience this Seattle tradition.

Who doesn't have an obsession with pockets? I know it's not just me. Anytime I discover a dress that has pockets it makes me love it 100 times more! This natural fibre dress from ASOS has been a staple in my closet for a couple years. It's an old but a goody!

Growing up in the Midwest, I became used to the unforgiving heat with temperatures in the high 90's low 100's with 10+ degrees added with humidity. However, since moving to Seattle, I think I am losing my ability to tolerate high heat! Even the high 80's are making me want to hide in the shade these days. To deal with the summer temps, I have been trying some new hairstyles to get my hair off of my shoulders as well as experimenting with light flowy clothing!

I have been obsessed with Madewell recently. Their summer styles are absolutely gorgeous and so versatile. So many of their pieces can be worn on a casual summer day for errands, to brunch with friends, and also to work. I haven't found a piece I don't love! 

I can't get over how amazing the weather in Seattle has been this summer (or at least during the month of July!) It has been quite a while since we've seen rain and I started to forget what a gray, rainy Seattle feels like. With all of these warm, sunny days, I have been stocking up on a bunch of summer wardrobe items. At the top of the list: Jumpsuits. There is seriously nothing better than a good jumpsuit!

What a ride this last week has been! We are finally moved out of our old apartment and fully into our new place. Everything is put away for the most part.. minus the things that require the purchase of new furniture. Now that we are organized, I can't wait to start furniture shopping and rearranging everything! Tune in soon for more apartment updates!
