If you’ve ever wondered what I look like with a tan, this is it. Nope, no need to adjust your screen or update your prescription. After a week on the beach, I go from intensely alabaster to just mostly pale. I mean, I’m positively glowing, don’t you think?

And as a nod to my lovely trip to the Outer Banks, I rocked these Carolina blue pumps back at work. 🙂

You know what I love about summer in Indiana compared to summer in North Carolina (where I grew up)? Even in the middle of July, you can have a chilly evening that makes you thankful for a cozy blanket or a jacket. As long as you’re not caught unprepared for the chill, it’s so freaking lovely. On the other hand, in the NC, it gets hot in May, and your ass cheek creases stay sweaty until October. This is why I don’t understand hot yoga. I didn’t leave the South so I could pay $20 to melt.

Speaking of getting a break from the heat, I’m going to Toronto this week! I’ve never been but I’ve only heard good things. It’ll only be a couple days, and it’s work-related, but I’m excited to see a new place. If you don’t already follow me on Instagram, do it now, because it’s where I’ll document my trip, and who doesn’t love taking vicarious vacations?
