Vintage Rainbow Print Tee + Chambray Skirt

 This fun vintage rainbow stripe tee is one of my all-time favorites and so perfect for summer!  I love the pop of bright colors, especially paired with this adorable straw cherry print purse and super comfy chambray skirt.  The cherry print straw bag is a steal at under $25 from Amazon!  I've linked all my outfit details including similar striped tees above + below!

Our Fixer Upper: Baby Riddle Nursery Design

     Time is flying by and I already feel like I'm so behind on getting the nursery ready for baby Riddle!  I have made some progress over the last couple of weeks, narrowing down crib options and paint colors for the room though.  I have a good idea of the overall style of the room that I am going for and have already started collecting a few cute accessories and vintage decor items.  I really am leaning toward a more traditional, Americana style overall and this first inspiration below is one that I keep coming back to.

Sunflower Print Shorts + Summer Sweater

I've always loved a good floral print of any kind, especially when it comes in the form of the cutest and comfiest pair of shorts!  These flowy, elastic waist shorts are so perfect for mixing and matching and also so flattering on a variety of figures (even if you're 23 weeks pregnant like me)!  The shorts come with a matching crop top as well which I would totally be wearing if I didn't have an extra round belly right now!  Instead I paired them with this summer crochet sweater, which is just as cute!

Vintage Polka Dot Maxi Skirt

I love anything polka dot, especially when it comes on a flowy vintage skirt!  Vintage skirts are one of my summer staples and so easy to dress up for special events or down for daytime wear.  For a casual Sunday, I paired this one with a simple tank, sandals, and straw bag.

Summer Porch 2018

Today I'm sharing my summer patio which I refreshed and redecorated just a little bit since last year.  The biggest change out here was recovering the cushions on my furniture with this black and white striped fabric from Amazon.  The cushions have springs on the inside and are flat on the bottom, so I was able to recover them easily with a staple gun, scissors, and no sewing.  I shared a little more about my porch clean-up process and everything that I added/ changed here
