i hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend... i know i did!

we're experiencing a serious heat wave here in new jersey (it's supposed to hit 100° today!), so i've been daydreaming about lying on a tropical beach all day long sipping frozen drinks :) unfortunately i'm stuck at home with no a/c... but a girl can dream, right? that's why i've rounded up some of the cutest beachwear on the web for my latest fashion finds... click here to check it out!

i woke up to some really exciting news today... my photography was featured on one of my all-time favorite blogs, design*sponge! grace, thank you so very much for blogging about my photos... i am truly honored. click here to see the feature!

pop pop portraits

how can you not be charmed by these illustrations from pop pop portraits? i'm seriously digging the style... each of the characters is high-fashion and edgy, but adorable at the same time!

and the sweet, whimsical little character descriptions that come with each illustration are the icing on the cake. my favorite:

jasminka is always dressing in long layers. there was an "incident" a few years back involving a cute little ra ra skirt on a windy day whilst on a date with a sweet, very meek, gorgeous boy named hans... ever since, she has been prepared for such embarrassing occurrences even though she may be slightly warmer than necessary!

love!

xoxo,

lesley
