Hello, friends!  It is the beginning of another busy week for me, I am heading out to Vegas again on Wednesday to work a conference.  I spent the weekend working and packing for my trip (and spending a little time with my little nephews), but I did manage to wear my new lace top that I bought last weekend while hanging out and shopping with my mom and grandmother.

I have been looking for a white lace top for a while now, and I am so glad I didn’t settle because I have fallen in love, true love.  The thin linen material of the shirt is lightweight and airy, perfect for summer, while the crocheted lace layered over the front and back shoulders adds beautiful, intricate detail.

The pants are a slightly older pair that I got from H&M a couple years ago that I absolutely love.  I actually don’t own many pairs of pants.  Jeans, definitely, but pants, no.  I absolutely love these pants, however, not just for the great monochromatic blue ikat pattern, but for the amazing fit.

Ooh, I also have to give a quick shout out on the necklace because I won this necklace in a giveaway from Alex of Snippets with Alex.  Isn’t it beautiful??  I love the antique brass color metal and the pale pink stones; I can already tell it’s going to go with just about everything!  Thanks, Alex!!  :)

The details: white lace top (Ross) // blue ikat print pants (H&M) // white sandals (gift) // braided leather belt (pre-thrifted from Mom) // brown & pink sunglasses (Forever 21) // necklace (gift) // antique brass bracelet (handmade)

I have to admit that I am so glad the weather finally cooled down again after the crazy heat wave last week.  Temps were well into the 90’s, which is as hot as it gets in the dead of summer!  How’s the weather where you are??

As always, thanks for reading!  – Kristi :)
