Summer Lovin'

Happy first day of summer!  Did everyone have a great weekend and Father's day?  I had the perfect weekend for ringing in the official start to the season.  The boys and I were up at the lake celebrating my niece's graduation from pre-school, and couldn't of asked for better weather.  It was a weekend filled with swimming, barbecues, boat rides, and bonfires, and I can't wait to have many more similar weekends in the days to come.  Speaking of, isn't  this ruffled stripe dress the perfect piece for summer?  I wore it this past weekend to the graduation, and think it will also be a great option for the 4th of July.  You all know I'm a sucker for off the shoulder dresses, but the blue and white stripes along with the ruffled sleeves really make the dress.  For an easy summer look, I paired it with my gladiator sandals and a white panama hat, then finished my look with this melon clutch, which I loved against the white and blue of the dress.

By the way, I'm loving these photos!  The other week, I had the opportunity of working with Laura of LCS Studio, and couldn't be happier with the way they turned out.  She also took my photos in last Friday's post (here) which I'm obsessed with.  It was SO windy the day of our shoot, and lets just say my dress did not want to cooperate with the wind.  Even so, she managed to capture some great shots.  If you live in the Boston area, I highly recommend checking out her photography.
