Desperately Seeking Summer

June 1st, 2009

Even though it’s only the first day of June, I’ve already adjusted to a complete summer mindset.   After a trip to the flea market yesterday, I put together a list of some of the things I’m currently loving and they all happen to revolve around vintage-inspired pieces.  Whether it’s a sweet little blouse with a rounded collar or a light denim jacket to throw on over a dress, they all possess special details that evoke the warm months to come.
