Summer Beach Wear

  I created a board of my summer essentials in cooperation with a campaign from Raise.  Raise is the first online marketplace to buy and sell gift cards.  You can buy discount gift cards to your favorite stores or sell your unwanted gift cards for cash.   The best thing about all the items on this board, it that they are all available from brands on raise.com's vast array of gift cards.  
 This site lets users purchase gift cards for less than their value, helping to save you some extra cash! I love to go shopping for end of summer sales, so when there’s a big purchase I want to make, I always check out this site first to see if I can score any deals on gift cards — I’ve seen up to 15% savings! Seriously, guys, check this site out!

Picnic in the Park: Modcloth's Uniquely You Campaign

 Picnic in the Park: Playful & vintage inspired

Cherry lemonade, clear skies, and plenty of sunshine. If only everyday could be this perfect.

I was asked to style the Garden Home Tour Dress in Pink, for Modcloth, using Wanelo style boards.  You can check out my Picnic in the Park board here.  Are you a Wanelo member?  I hadn't ever used the site before, but I think I might be hooked.  It's a great way to find new products and connect with others who have similar style.  It's sort of like having a team of personal shoppers.

outfit details:

Garden Home Tour Dress, Fanciful Finery Parasol, Delicate Delights Hair Comb, Preserves Purveyor Necklace, Ice Cream or Cola Sunglasses, Cherries and Cappuccino Cardigan, Va Va Voluptuous Petticoat in Cotton Candy, Gallery Opener Heel in Marigold

The bold colored florals of the Garden Home Tour Dress remind me of the fabric patterns that were popular in the early 1960s.
