Easy Summer Dresses, Cameras, and Boys...

May 9, 2011

{DRESS: OLD NAVY, PENDANT (OLD): URBAN OUTFITTERS, SHOES: H&M}

Hello lovelies, look at that weather! Before you get “weather envy,” please note that it has actually been raining all week. We had one great weather day, which caused me to run outside like a blogging maniac, with camera and husband in tow! Yay for patient boys.

I’m absolutely in love with this location. Isn’t it the cutest? I adore moss covered trees, pillowy grass, and blue skies. Total magic. I’m also smitten with easy summer dresses. Anyone else with me? I might be guilty of what I like to call "no brainer dressing." Example? Well, this outfit went a little something like this... Grab dress. Put on shoes. Walk out door. Sweetness!!

And as for other non-related fashion news? I’ve been on a condo spring cleaning marathon. I have traded in my heels, belts and adorable dresses... for gloves, Vim and sweats! Happy Monday!! xx veronika

    Gorgeous! I adore the ease of this outfit... simple yet perfect for spring. The shoes and that little strawberry pendant are adorable and the pretty location doesn't hurt either!

    I can completely relate with your weather issues too. In Arizona it's been extremely windy- aka no possible way to take decent photos. So when, by chance the weather calmed down a bit on Friday, I too ran out with my tripod in tow!

    Seriously the weather has been way too depressing. So happy we finally had some sunshine today! I am already counting down the days to our meetup, but fingers crossed the weather is nice! You never know in this crazy city.

    Veronika, I think I've told you this before... but you have such a resemblance to Olivia Wilde! You are stunning. Yes... the weather is pretty disgusting these days, isn't it? Really, really hoping it turns around sooner than later. Anyway, onto your outfit: I love that this dress has such a vintage vibe to it and that you paired it with black strappy sandals, instead of the expected brown/cognac accessories. It's refreshing! And the pendant (is that a strawberry?) is so adorable!

    Hope you're having a lovely week V!
