speaking of summer, wouldn’t these tops be perfect for those breezy summer days?

if you’ve ever heard of Wiksten, I’m sure like me, you’re very excited for the launch of the Wiksten summer collection. Jenny is a fantastic designer. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to own one of her new pieces and I can assure you, what she creates is well constructed, designed with the wearer in mind, and oh so comfortable. if you haven’t read it already, check out her humble interview over at Heart Handmade.
her summer collection launches in her shop on Saturday, so mark your calendar!

I went to see Beirut last night at the Crystal Ballroom.  and it was fanfreakingtabulous.  I always knew that they would be great live but even I was blown away at how great they really were.  I danced and moved my body to the beat and sang along with the crowd to every single song. 
what amazes me most about this band is front man, Zach Congdon, who is a mere 22 years old and created all of this, the band, while writing songs and dreaming up plans in his bedroom.  he has such stage presence and his voice is spot on.  they came back for two encores and encouraged the crowd to sing and dance.
if you haven’t had a chance to listen to Beirut yet, please do.  and if you have and you’re lucky enough to see them in concert, it’s sure to be a treat.  just remember to bring your dancing shoes.

I’ve been excitedly watching Melissa’s newest collection develop for Shaybelle. it’s breezy and light weight and the color combos are fantastic. I’m in love with that scarf and pale yellow dress. and I especially love her new little logo.
