{Top Ten} June

Welcome back to reality! I hope you had a great long weekend…or maybe your weekend hasn’t ended yet! #luckyducks If you follow me on InstaGram, then you saw our shenanigans this weekend. Nothing like hurling your body through the air on a contraption built by your brother and his friend! Between that and reading the Nordstrom Anniversary Catalog, my heart rate had some serious spikes this weekend! (But seriously, how excited are you for this sale?! Who’s shopping the pre-sale starting Thursday??? #duh)

How is it freaking July!? I can’t believe we’ve already been on Summer break for a month!! Granted, it was a jam-packed, jet-setter month, full of amazing travels and unforgettable experiences…and we managed to squeeze a few projects in there, too.

In case you took an internet hiatus, here’s the {Top Ten} posts of June.

Hi Sugarplum | {Top Ten} June
Summer months mean my house is a revolving door of hungry kids.
Is yours like that? In an attempt to contain the madness, I overhauled the Pantry.
The Little Black Dress…a wardrobe staple.
I showed you how to take it {Day to Night} on the streets of New York.

Hi Sugarplum | {Top Ten} June

This month, I started my {Trip Reports} recapping our Alaskan cruise.
The excursion in Juneau was Bucket List material.
No question I have favorites in my closet, but I rarely wear them the same way twice.
Case in point, this cute striped number…styled {3 Ways}.
We continued our new series, Dressing Room Diaries, showing you real clothes
on a real girl. And Mr. SP providing his own input.
Hi Sugarplum | {Top Ten} June

Ketchikan was our first Alaskan stop, and the mountains, waterfalls, eagles, 
and whales did not disappoint. Majestic is just about adequate a descriptor.
Of course I loved ‘formal nights’ on the ship, and jumped at the
chance to doll-up in this colorful maxi for {Cruise Style}.
Hi Sugarplum | {Top Ten} June

I love a leggy table, but don’t love the inevitable lamp cord they leave exposed.
From Alaska to Montana…can you even? The weather was almost as spectacular as
the landscape, so the romper saw a lot of action.
Our backyard got a major facelift in the form of a new horizontal fence.
Seriously…you have to see it. Who knew changing the direction of the board
would make such an impact?!
And finally, we had another round of everyone’s favorites, Look for Less and Sugarplum Style.

July is set to be a another doozy as I head out of town again, we start a new room makeover, Alaska and Montana re-caps continue…and for the love of Pete, I finally hopefully share our finished Kitchen! I hope you’ll follow along! Happy Monday, lovebugs…I hope it goes easy on you! 
If you’re new around here, or playing catch-up, here are some good places to start:

Sugarplum Style, Vol. 15

Can I get a ‘HOLLA’ for the long weekend ahead?! And happy belated Canada Day to my Canadian readers! If you’ve pursued my Travel tab, you know I’m a fan of that beautiful country. #eh #dontyoulovestereotypes

It’s been longer than usual since I last shared snapshots of my everyday outfits, mixed-and-matched using items in my closet…so today’s installment of Sugarplum Style is a doozy!

We had a pretty mild Spring, but Summer is certainly making herself known now…so it’s shorts and dresses everyday. This linen shirt saw a lot of action…with collar popped, of course. And I don’t mind when a linen shirt like this wrinkles, it just adds to it’s casual appeal.

The bright colors and abstract print of this dress sucked me in, and the sale price sealed the deal. The back is a little exposed, so I paired a jean vest to make it more office appropriate.

Does it get any more crisp than blue and white?! I kicked up my favorite gingham print (use code HOTSALE for extra 20% off) with a pop of pink. Did you notice my new bag charm? It’s a smaller version of the elephant charm I’ve had for years…and it’s finally back in stock! And even better, use code HAPPY4 for 15% off!

This travel day was white on white, with a pop of blue and pink. And a cutie-pie photobombed! Use code GOFOURTH for 30% off my tassel necklace!

June was our month of travel, so we had a few different weather days…the kitten-cardi works great for a lightweight, cozy layer in the Summer, too! #whoknew

Oh hey, dressier version of my previous outfit! I took a tip from my {5 Ways} Maxi Dress post, and tied a shirt over my dress for a fresh, new look. It kills me that my bag charm is missing from this outfit!!

The pink version of my favorite, wear-anywhere, goes-everywhere, dress was perfect for a surprise, zero-sleep trip to NYC. Remember it styled {5 Ways} and for {Date Night}?

Who said shorts aren’t stylish and chic? I style mine just as I would a skirt. And yep, that’s the linen popover top. Again.

This outfit is made cuter by the coordinating floors! #happyaccident You’ve probably noticed the pink necklace popping up a lot lately too…I love how it adds just a subtle peek of color in an otherwise neutral outfit.

How to make a romper work appropriate(ish)? Just add heels, jewels, and a cardigan. #donedoneanddone

And how to make a romper appropriate for previously mentioned surprise, zero-sleep trips to NYC? Just add sandals, jean jacket, and a too-cute-for-words tote bag! This colorful number doubled as my plane carry-on, purse, and shopping tote. (Use code HAPPY4 for 15% off!) It may be the only bag I own that’s so cute it doesn’t benefit from a tassel charm!

And finally, this picture is actually for the next round of Dressing Room Diaries, but after the response it got on InstaGram and Facebook, I was afraid it’d sell out. You know I love my pink racerback dress more than my luggage…but I shamelessly added this dress to my arsenal. The neckline is uber-flattering, the hemline is more modest, and the color is so punchy. Oh, and how about it’s less than $50! #sold

So if the racerback shift dress didn’t work for you…maybe because the armholes were too low, or the hemline was too high…I encourage you to try this one! And if the racerback shift dress did work for you…well, you’re going to want this one, too! #trustme

Last thing, several readers have asked that I start suggesting which undergrundies I’d wear with these type of dresses. I’m not actually wearing a bra in this picture, but a strapless would work perfectly. Now you’re all looking at my boobs, aren’t you?! Well, stop! #pervs 😉
