Summer Shorts

This weather has been truly unpredictable the past few days and I have found that (after work) a pair of shorts has become my go to outfit. They are great to throw on and nice because you can dress them up or leave them casual.

Here are some of my favorite summer short selections:

Summer Lovin' Wednesday: Bijou and Boheme

This Wednesday I am so excited to have Christine from Bijou and Boheme over to share her favorite new hobby with all of us! Seriously these art to fashion pieces are amazing, and her new shop Wink of Pink has some of the most beautiful pieces! I am definitely going to need to make a purchase soon.....



******************************************************

Hi there White Rufflers...it's Christine here from B&B and I'm so happy to be visiting Madison's gorgeous blog today as part of her fabo 'Summer Lovin' series.

Because I've been on a bit of MASSIVE art kick since opening my shop, I thought why not bring you a little
'art to fashion' fun.

First up, an ensemble inspired by this stunning piece from artist Clare Elsaesser...


...called 'Cabana' it translates into one hot cakes outfit...


1 . 23. 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 

God I wish there wasn't 8000 reasons why I'll never own those Balmain shorts...the ring and necklace on the other hand, totes doable/must haves.

Moving on.

For my second art-outfit pick, I thought why not take this opportunity to shamelessly promote my shop, Wink of Pink ;)

So...the moi art...


...and its frock...

      
12 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 

Lordy, I'd love any excuse to own that dress.

A big mushy thanks to Madison for having me...was such a treat to visit.
