Lemon, orange and lime.
Nothing says summer like a fresh citrus-y palette.

I’m collaborating today with Kristin of Bon Bon Rose Girls and Susan of Ava Grace’s Closet to bring you our takes on one of this season’s hot trends – black and white.
Black and white epitomizes simple, classic elegance. It’s perfect for dressing up but equally at home in a casual look like the weekend outfit I wore HERE.

What kind of purse girl are you?
Do you buy the latest trend? Or are you more likely to carry a classic style for a long time? Do you switch out your bag to match your outfit? What’s your favorite style?
I tend to spend a little more on a purse that I can carry for a long time and don’t switch it out very often. My favorite style is the satchel because I can carry it over my arm on or my shoulder.
Yesterday’s post featured my big satchel that I carry almost every day of my life. This is probably my favorite purse that I’ve ever owned. It’s almost a year old now but it’s still going strong. The color and style are perfect and it’s one of those bags that gets softer and prettier the longer you carry it.

My new white purse is also a satchel. It’s been the star of a few outfits lately (like here and here and here). It was much less of an investment so I don’t mind carrying it for just one season. Although I love it so much that it will probably be around longer!
[Steve Madden Satchel (similar)]
During the summer, a big tote bag becomes one of my staples. I usually throw my wallet and whatever supplies we need for the day into one. Whether we’re heading out to the park, the museum or a day at the pool, a tote has the room we need to carry everything.
This Vera Bradley tote fits the bill perfectly! It’s affordable and adorable.
[Vera Bradley Seashore Tote]
Lately I’ve added a few clutches to my collection too. These are usually reserved for special nights out or when we go on vacation and I don’t want to carry around my big satchel. I tend to spend less on these and swap them out to match outfits.
Target always has affordable, on-trend clutches. I like this one because the shoulder strap can be used or tucked away.

What three words would you use to describe your style?
Mine would have to be casual, classic and simple.
Today’s outfit is all three.
This is what I wore for our Memorial Day festivities on Monday. (If you want to read more about it, check out this post). I wanted to wear something with a nod to patriotism without looking too kitschy…or dressing up like Uncle Sam.

Hey pretties! I hope you all had a great weekend. We transitioned from spring to summer really quickly with highs in the 90’s.
This is what I wore on Saturday for a little shopping followed by some Mexican food on a patio. Actually we took these pics between shopping and dinner, just before we saw our son and his date off to junior prom. He’s growing up too fast!
There’s something so easy about a button-down, shorts and sandals. Throw on a hat and there you have it.
A perfectly easy weekend outfit.

Oh and by the way, you NEED a white purse. Trust me on this. I bought this one last week and it hasn’t left my arm since. It’s the perfect summer bag, roomy, yet lightweight. And it goes with everything.

I couldn’t find my exact bag online but here’s a very similar one.

The cutout detail on this Jessica Simpson satchel is so cute.

This chic white bag from Aldo is a steal!
