WTW: Rainy Lax Tourney

Thursday, 06 June 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

As I head out of town for a very wet lacrosse tournament, I wondered how many of you are in the same boat (almost literally, with this weather). Though I packed my hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, I'm not sure I'll need them. Instead, I'm wishing it wasn't too hot to wear my rain boots.

Alas, one must be prepared. My recommendations for rainy weather — jeans over shorts, light cotton tee, hooded rain coat (and umbrella), converse sneakers, easy beaded bracelets, lax watch, ginormous bag filled with all the things I'll need if the sun comes out and a cooler full of healthy snacks and energy drinks for the boys.

At all costs, I'll find a tent to duck under.

SS13 Wide Brim Hat

Tuesday, 04 June 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

While I have a nice collection of fedoras, I am always looking for different style hats for summer. And this wide brim hat with hand painted trim has me intrigued.

The Benigni hat, a collaboration between Acne and Borsalino, is big enough to keep your face in the shade and your hair protected from the sun. Approaching my first summer with red hair, I'm a little worried about summer fade. Though, with a hat like this, my worries may be for nothing.

Flirtalicious

Monday, 03 June 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

It's June.

School is out this week. Festivities have begun. And I'm feeling a little flirty.

There is something so freeing about flirting. It can be the littlest thing — a wink, a hip shake, a rawr.

Sometimes, I find it easiest to express that feeling in what I wear. How great is it that we have that kind of control? Pretty powerful.

I vow to make this week lively and liberating. How about you?

Swimsuit Season is On, SS13

Thursday, 30 May 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

Oh dear goodness. It's that time already?

Putting on a bathing suit for the first time of the season is always a dreaded moment for me. While I've been doing Pure Barre and running 3 miles 5x/week each, this body still isn't quite ready for the reveal. Then there's the pasty white skin situation, combined with lovely veins. This girl needs a spray tan.

One thing is for certain, I have high hopes this summer. Of the many things on my agenda, visiting a vein clinic is one of them. It will make getting into a swimsuit much easier.

Here's to the sun! The cool ocean water. Sailing. Snorkeling. Tubing. Surfing. And every other water sport you partake in this summer.

Just another obsession.

I can't seem to get enough of gorgeous long dresses with major impact. Thanks to Marc Jacobs, here's a timeless investment piece to add to your wardrobe. This stunning column dress needs nothing (except you, of course). It speaks volumes all on its own.

Long and luxe, baby!
