Trend We Love: Overalls

So I used to be an overall hater. But darn it if these things didn't grow on me. I bought my first pair of overalls as an adult last October. A cropped black faux leather pair by Piper Project that I purchased at Nordstrom. I have never received so many compliments on any singular item in my life. So now I'm in the market for a cute pair of denim overalls to wear this summer and into fall. I would roll them up and pair with a tank or cropped top and white Chuck Taylors. How would you wear them?

Color Crush: Pale Pink

I was never much of a pink girl, it always seemed like a cheesy color forced on me by my gender. But last fall designers like Alexander Wang changed my mind with pale pink choices that were decidedly cool. I've since grown an appreciation for a color that is perfectly pretty and universally flattering. Here are a few of my favorite pale pink wardrobe must haves for this summer:

Color Crush: Key Lime

Leah made the best key lime bars this weekend for her husband Josh's birthday. They were sweet and delightfully tart, perfect for summer. I also really loved the pale green color of the dessert, which prompted this post. Why not welcome summer with cool greens that are just as refreshing as Leah's dessert?

10 Two-Piece Bathing Suits You Will Love

Although I am a one-piece gal, I know many of you favor the bikini. There are advantages to both. In a one-piece bathing suit, one need never fear losing one's top to a strong current. Transversely, anyone who has ever tried to use the restroom in a maillot knows a bikini is superior when it comes to bathroom accessibility. Thus, I thought I would highlight a few great two-piece suits to get you stoked for the coming summer. All I can say is that Mara Hoffman's bathing suit game is on fire. I want every suit she makes!

Here are ten bikinis worth dieting for:

Pack a Bag: Los Angeles

I've been itching to get back to Los Angeles for a while now. Don't get me wrong, I am so glad I moved back to Saint Louis, but I do miss California. Mainly for the friends I made, but also the amazing food and duh, the beach.

So though I don't yet have a ticket, here's what I would pack for a long weekend in the City of Angels:
