I always thought using your iced coffee as a prop was the most ridiculous blogger gimmick ever. But then these photos were unplanned and taken spur of the moment during a summer evening stroll and I just apparently didn’t think to put down my crack MaryLou’s and now I am one of said ridiculous cliche bloggers.
IN OTHER NEWS, wanted to chat briefly about my fun new boots that I just couldn’t wait until fall to pull out!
Eyelet Sundress, J.Crew [similar 1; 2] | Denim Vest, LC Lauren Conrad | Spring Fling Necklace, Lilly Pulitzer | Idiom Bangle, Kate Spade | Tophand Coffee Booties c/o White Mountain Shoes | Camera Bag, Kate Space [similar 1; 2 | update! similar camera bag in the Kate Spade boutique on GILT today!]
I’ve been on the hunt for brown booties since like, last fall. So it only makes sense that I’d find them just as we enter open-toe season. But I was so excited about this pair from White Mountain, with the fun tassel zipper, that I couldn’t wait until actual boot season to pull them out! In true White Mountain fashion, they are SO comfortable. I’d think that they were too good to be true, but this pair sure wasn’t.
I’m also sort of loving the idea of roughing up a sundress with boots, no? Some more inspiration here, here, and here!

Super cute! I almost bought a pair of shoes just like this and didn’t and now I’m having serious buyer regret.
Love this look! I always get nervous wearing booties in the summer, but it just makes so much sense! You’ve inspired me to do it more! And to get a denim vest.
Lol. It’s funny, cause I have to agree with you about the cliche of holding a coffee, but on my last post you see me holding a coffee (I was on my way to work) and the best part, taking the pictures were totally spontaneous…

Loving the summer boots look – perfect when you don’t have time for a fresh pedi! 😉
This is such a cute look! I love boots paired with dresses, I think it makes things a more interesting. I also really like the camera detail on your bag! And I laughed out loud at your cliche blogger coffee comment! I just realized that I have held a coffee in a blog photo before, but like you, I was actually drinking it and didn’t want to put it down.

Hahaha I totally held an iced coffee in my photos this past week, too! Cliched… Oh well 😉 Hehe. LOVE White Mountain, by the way. I have a pair of sandals from them that I can seriously walk five miles in without pain! 🙂
Such cute pix!

You are seriously the cutest ever. You make me want a denim vest. And can you believe I’ve never had marylou’s!? I’ve always wanted to, but can never seem to find one!

I would never fault you for posing with your coffee, but of course I was too busy drooling over you white lace dress to even notice.
