...are undoubtedly blue an green. As its no coincidence these are also the colors of the Caribbean ocean, a bouquet of blue hydrangeas, a clear sky, and a frozen Blue Hawaiian cocktail. All wonderful things that inspired this collage of items that would undoubtedly make your closet a little more wonderful.
Anyone else singing this to themselves this morning? And somehow a Passion Passport or an Island Impact from Smoothie King just ain't going to hit the spot today.

In case you were worried sick that my love affair with stripes had fizzled, fear not. I've written about my preference for the pattern before, and my feelings are just as strong as ever. The quintessential summer wardrobe staple, the classic design, the crisp and clean lines - everything begets me to stripes.

My personal favorite part about the summer season is the weekend escape. Something about the three-month vacation you used to have as a student mentality lingers on, leaving me absolutely antsy pants come every Friday. So whether its by road or air or sea, I'm ready to pack my bags and get going... to anywhere, really.
So when Over the Moon asked me to put together a weekend-in-the-Hamptons packing list-collage, I tapped into that get-me-outta-here state of mind and blew some dust off the ole' I went-to-Talkhouse-back-in-my-day memories. And so I leave you with some words I *literally* just came up with: nothing is worse than getting to your destination and realizing you forgot to pack something, and nothing is better than having all you need (for 48 hours) in a carry on.

I'm blessed to have many a talented cuzzin-from-my-huzban', one of which is the face, hands, and eyes behind the beautiful bouquet-delivery & flower-arrangement brand Amapola. Amapola is San Antonio-based, but will soon be offering seasonal flower delivery to all major Texas cities. The bouquets are romantic and whimsical - the perfect centerpieces for your summatime dinner parties and festive fandangos.
This Saturday, Amapola is stopping in Houston (deets below!) to host a flower arrangement workshop at Bebidas, mi favorito juice & coffee bar (was I there this morning? maybe... if maybe means yes). Come create your own arrangement while sippin' on a smoothie - or just come sneak a peek from afar. The vibes, flora, and food will be on point - as will be the girl who will surely be covered in pollen and hopped up on too much caffeine (me).
