Beach Surf to Rooftop Turf

SURF

Last year, I decided to indulge in the creative, resort side of swimwear.  This year, the theme has been all.about.comfort.  In more ways than one.  I want to be comfortable in my clothes enough to forget about them and enjoy my life.  Especially when I'm at the beach.

Dress It Up with Eyelet


I've been wearing mens button ups all Summer long and I'm noticing that I've been styling them more and more loosely, open and wrinkled.  
I'm just obsessed with that comfy, effortless, messy-chic look!

Jeans & Tee: Another Version


In the spirit of Summer, when wearing a jeans and tee ensemble, my denim is ripped and my tees are shorter.  This time however, 
I chose to wear a mens button up that I cropped myself and ended the look with a simple nude, heeled sandal.

As much has the jeans-and-tee combo are oh-so-basic, the duo is also pure classic.  Always in style and absolutely seasonless, this is one outfit that can be personalized a plethora of different ways.  And you know how I feel about personalizing a look.  A better word: style.

Jeans and a tee is all about style.

Summer Fun

So... 
It's been a while.  

I feel a bit embarrassed for my "disappearance" these past several weeks.  I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately.  Taking an impromptu Summer break, I've been enjoying these days offline immensely - though I do miss sharing.  Sometimes I just have to put down the camera (...and phone and remote control and) just experience life right in the moment.  I haven't quite mastered doing both yet but I hope to get better at that in the future :)

While offline though, you may be happy to know I've continued to find plenty of inspiration...

I've also been taking the time to materialize them in Tiny style!

At The Beach In a Button Up

Button ups are so versatile.  I feel like they can be worn for every occasion of life.  I especially love mens button ups as they're extra spacious and slouchy looking.

mens shirt: Faconable / bikini top: Target / necklaces: Philippines / shorts: Santee Alley

I've been wearing a lot of button ups lately.  Like everyday.  In fact, the other morning when Theo got an invite to go surfing, while still in bed, I looked down at what I was wearing and said,

"Okay, let me just put on some shorts and I'll be ready..."

Some days I have no interest in dressing.  On those days, I am thankful to have a button up to fall back on.  Even if I've slept in it the night before :)


It was pure coincidence that I went to the beach and wore a bikini top that day under my button up.  I, in fact just didn't have a bra to wear and got creative.  Including adding some rustic, boyish charm with Theo's leather and bone necklaces.  And also his belt.

wedges: Et Fiancees

I slipped on my comfy grey wool Toms but I did have some forethought enough to pack some wedges to wear to lunch later though!  

Check out what other peices I've worn with these Summertime wedge sandals:



Just a casual outfit I pulled together to get out the door.  
I find the best outfits are the ones you don't even think about.

Speed Walking In Wedges

Rushing to work yesterday, I asked Theo to gab some quick shots of my hustle.

shirt: PINK / denim: Asos.com / wedges: Et Fiancees / bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB / sunnies: RayBan

This was a simple but changeable ensemble.  In the paper shopper bag, are my Pumas and some socks. My job, while super fun is definitely not glamorous.  So, at work I hang up my button up and sport my James Perse tee, take off the wedges and pop on my Pumas and I'm ready to carry fabric bolts, make runs to the warehouse for orders and cut, cut, cut (pssst, by the way I work at a fabric store).

Then after work, I put back on my wedges, cover my tee with this crisp shirt, throw on my RayBans and I'm back in the world :)




Simple, but it does the duty of making me feel put together and flattering.  Plus, wedges are so much easier to slip on and off at the beginning and end of the day.  And when I'm running late and I don't have time for dainty stepping, a sturdy wedge is comfy enough to strut in speedily!
