Omaha has been hot lately. Muggy, sticky, sweaty, HOT.
When the temperature shoots past 100 you have to find ways to cool off.
And one of my favorite ways to cool off is with a scoop of ice cream.
In the summer I’m all about a casual tee, a pair of cutoffs, and boat shoes. It’s comfy, cute, and can be dressed up with the addition of a beautiful necklace. It’s also an outfit you can wear in the heat and not feel like you are slowly melting to death.
That’s one of the reasons I love these boat shoes. They’re breathable! And they’re on sale for $35! I love me some Sperrys.
Many thanks to Ashley Nicole Photographer for these stunning images.

In the summer, the only thing that should melt is your ice cream. And hopefully it’s melting more in your mouth than on your hands! 😉
Here’s some other beautiful blue necklaces I’m loving that can dress up any casual shirt and shorts combo:

Wow, those pictures of you are stunning Erin! You look beautiful! 🙂
My favorite ice cream is a mixture of chocolate and cappuccino blended together with chocolate chunks and chopped almonds on top. It’s amazing! I usually got mine @ Coldstone when I lived in the U.S. I miss is a lot!
Erin says
Mmmm I’m drooling! I need to try that ice cream combo!
Jessie says
You are one fashionable & gorgeous lady, Erin! The photographer did a fabulous job on these pictures. I actually have the #4 necklace. I pair it with a simple tea, blue jeans & nude heels. Less is more if you ask me 🙂

I’ve been living in my Sperry shoes this summer. Not only are they awesome (hello flamingos) they are super comfortable and give my feet the support they need throughout the day – no matter how hard I try, I will never be a heels kinda girl. Love all those necklaces… I honestly don’t think I could pick a favorite! I’m all about layering with white t’s in the summer!
Erin says
Your Sperrys have flamingos? I’m so jealous!!
