Birkenstocks

{trending}

One of my favorite trends this summer has to be Birkenstocks.  They are the most comfortable and stylish sandals in the market right now.  I own the Tobacco Oiled Leather pair in the Arizona style, which is similar to the picture above.  Birkenstock has come out with many new styles of their sandals; however, this classic look is still my favorite.  If you haven't yet purchased a pair, summer is almost halfway over so I'd hop on that and join this trend.  They do retail for $125, but they are great quality and will last a long time so are worth it.

Fourth of July

The fourth of July is by far my favorite holiday of the year (besides Christmas).  I love the parades, road races, and the patriotic colors that are featured on the Holiday, and the barbecues too!  To be honest you probably need a few outfits for the day.  I love the t-shirt and jean shorts look for the morning to wear to parades and hang out with your family in.  During the day I usually go swimming so I have one American flag bathing suit for the occasion that I use every year, believe me, it is a good investment.  Then at night I try to put on a dress to look nice.  

I'll have a post on the fourth featuring the outfit I decide on wearing, so stay tuned for that.  You can follow me on Bloglovin' for updates on my posts, or check out my Instagram @travelingposh

eShakti

The weather has been so hot and humid lately, which makes picking an outfit quite difficult.  On those kind of days, I usually end up throwing on a light dress and some sandals so I don't end up sweating.  Shift dresses have been my go to this summer since they are so comfortable, not to mention in style too.  I received this dress from eShakti and it fits perfectly.  You know when you find that one piece of clothing that feels like it was made for you?  Yep, this dress.  When ordering form eShakti, you give them all of your measurements and they custom make the dress for each customer.  You can even request different sleeve styles for each dress, and decide if you want the length to be mini, short, knee length, etc...

I'm thrilled with this white and turquoise shift dress and will be wearing it on all of the hot days which will be coming up this summer.  I wore it with my Birkenstocks, which I also love to death.  The whole ensemble gives more of a bohemian vibe, my favorite!

Things Often Left Behind

I headed off to sleep away camp as of yesterday so will be spending the next month in New Hampshire without a phone or any other electronics.  I prescheduled my blog posts so those will continue to post every other day, but unfortunately I will not be able to reply to emails or comments until July 25th.  My friend is running my Instagram account (@travelingposh) so that is being taken care of as well.  I just wanted to briefly mention that, and to go along with it, todays post is about little things to remember when going away.

First, do not forget your hairbrush.  I often forget mine because I need to use it the morning I leave, so somehow it never makes it into my suitcase.  Same thing with my makeup.  I use it in the morning, then leave it behind in my bathroom.  I also always forget to bring a pair of flip flops, no matter what.  Even if you are traveling in winter, the hotel may have a pool or spa which you'll wish you brought flip flops for.  Sunglasses are so easy to forget, but a pain not to have.  Other necessities are pajamas, a comfy sweatshirt, and a camera.  If you're traveling this summer, make a check list of the things you'll need so you're prepared for your trip!

Yogurt Parfait

I guess this isn't really a parfait, but were just going to call it that.  This is obviously not hard at all to make, and doesn't require much instruction, I mainly posted it to just get some healthy eating inspiration on the blog.

 The strawberries and blueberries are delicious this time of year so I've been thinking of all the ways to combine them into my meals. I forgot how much I love yogurt mixed in with fruit and granola, but this breakfast was so refreshing.  I used the Chobani raspberry yogurt and combined it with a pinch of granola, handful of strawberries, and a few blueberries too.  It filled me up and was a health start to my day.

I have a busy day of packing and cleaning ahead of me, so I'm not so much looking forward to it.  Hopefully I will have time to take some blog pictures in my new eShakti dress I recently received, so keep an eye out for that!

Summer at Last

Today was my last day of school, so it is summer at last.  I got out of school at 11:15 today and then grabbed lunch and did some shopping with my mom.  We then proceeded to take blog pictures while walking my dog.  It was really nice to go outside and walk my dog, take some pictures, and spend time with my mom after being stuck in my room the entire weekend studying for exams.

Anyways, now that I'm not worrying about homework and clubs, I will have much more time to devote to the blog which I'm thrilled about.  This weekend I'm heading up to New Hampshire for a month at sleep away camp.  I have prescheduled blog posts ready for that time, but if I'm not replying to comments for a little while, that's why!

Style Icon: Sarah Hyland

It is that time of the month where I select my style icon of the month.  For some reason I've been watching countless episodes of the older Modern Families from 2012 and even before that.  So that influenced my decision in picking Sarah Hyland.  However, I didn't realize how much I like her red carpet style until recently.  Take a look of some of my favorite dresses of hers on the Red Carpet.

Look one and three are my absolute favorites of the five.  Which one do you like the best?
