These sandals and this cute berry-print bandana were 2 of the things I purchased on my shopping spree last month in a very chilly (at the time) NYC. And here they are making their debut in much more appropriate weather. Last weekend, Kristin and I made a picnic – one of our favorite spring/summer weekend activities – and took it to the grounds of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The picnic included actual berries, so wearing berry print was either a perfect choice or a ridiculous choice. I’m going with perfect.

The picnic itself was pretty much perfect (complete with bellinis and mini cheesecake to share), except for the fact that I forgot to put sunscreen on my feet and ended up with a super awkward sandal burn. You can kind of see the pink coming through on my ankles in these photos. These are the kind of real life glamorous details the other bloggers don’t share. You’re welcome.

You know I can’t resist a sweatshirt with some kind of cute embellishment! I’m pretty sure J.Crew makes them just for me (and yet they still charge me the same – no fair). I love my navy one so much I’m keeping an eye on the gray version.

When I wear something really simple and casual like this, I tend to have a little more fun with shoes and accessories…you know, because my shoes and accessories are normally so drab. 😉 Seriously though, I like to find the happy balance between sticking out like a sore thumb and just blending in with the crowd, so mixing basics with statement pieces is my jam.

Speaking of statement pieces, I think I’m going to take the plunge this month on an absolutely fabulous yellow suede Rebecca Minkoff bag. Shopbop is having a big sale for the next 3 days (ending Friday night). You can get 25-30% off almost everything (exclusions here) so that’s all the convincing I need! The code is MAINEVENT16. Some of my other favorite statement splurges: these suede pumps with metal accents, this emerald green watch, and these tassel earrings (which are actually not a splurge at all). Shop responsibly, my friends!
