Summer Style: Off the Map

One of this summer's biggest trend is a tropical spin on safari-inspired colors: olive green and toasted almond paired with fun pops of magenta and tribal-style prints. It's a great place to start a warm-weather capsule wardrobe or vacation packing list!

LISTEN.

• I've probably posted "The Heart of Life" in this spot before, because it's one of my all-time favorite John Mayer songs, but when this live version popped up on my Pandora I was automatically transported to fall college weekends driving through the Blue Ridge mountains.  I love that he mixes in a little of "In Repair" at the end, too.  I'm linking up, as usual, with Musical Mondays at My So-Called Chaos.

SWOON.

FLASHBACK.

• Last year, I recapped Breeze's beautiful blue and yellow rustic wedding, put together a casual game day look, shared some of my favorite berry wardrobe updates for fall.  Mr. Q and I went to a low-country boil at the lake with some of our best friends, and I reminisced about some of my favorite high school TV shows while planning my class' 10-year reunion.
• Three years ago, I recapped our wedding recessional and shared our indoor wedding party portraits.
