Today felt like the first true day of summer, it's hard to believe summer is already half way over. Kyle and I both had the day off, and we were able to spend it doing all kinds of summery things. Walking around lake calhoun, watching sailboats, having the most delicious breakfast and dinner, finding baby rabbits, eating gelato, and stumbling upon the perfect summer festival, Tour de Fat (which was the coolest thing ever). Then we came home to find fireworks outside our window.

Nadinoo's lula's untie me top is by far my new favorite garment. It's the perfect cut for summer, with the most adorable bow and buttons, but I'll definitely be wearing it year-round. The dress version is equally as perfect.

such beautiful photos!
and i know what you mean, the feeling of summer just starting even though it's half over. that makes me sad to think! but i'm trying to have as many summery days as i can before it's gone by too quick.

I feel like our summer days are mirroring one another. I stumbled upon a little cottontail just the other day! You look so perfect, as usual. That top is a dream, as is that tiny bunny!
