{Diane Von Furstenberg Dixy cropped pants} The other day, I had a customer tell me that all the top fashion magazines are saying that capri pants, sometimes referred to as cropped pants, are the most hideous thing ever invented and that high end fashion designers are refusing to make them. What was I to say to that? Just about every pant that we are carrying right now in my store are cropped! I also happen to completely disagree with her, but since "the customer is always right," I decided to cheerfully say something like, "Oh really?! Well these pants right here are cropped (showing her a style) if you wear your regular petite size, but lets go over into the misses department where the cropped pants will fit you as full length!"

It is going to be warm in Maine with temps reaching the high 80's. I am so excited to be spending time with my husband's family at their 4th of July BBQ. I decided to keep my look simple, comfortable and of course red, white and blue. What are you wearing on this Fourth of July? {4th of July Fireworks. Bar Harbor, Maine}

It will be perfect with my J.Crew bikini that I have had for years and just can't give up. (I think it still fits...) Although, my vacation will not be spent at Waikiki Beach, I am looking forward to some hot summer days at The Samoset Resort off the coast of Maine.
