Can you believe summer is unofficially here and the first half of the year is already behind us? So far, 2016 has been pretty eventful. We just sold our house and closed on the sale yesterday. It is bittersweet to leave our home after so many years and memories made, but we are excited about the next chapter and moving inside the loop in Houston. We will be so much closer to everything!

I will have to pack up and move an entire house’s worth of stuff sooner rather than later, so in the meantime, I am dreaming of a little summer rest and relaxation. I have always loved summer and while it isn’t as firmly defined as it once was during my days as a student, I still love the idea of summer adventures, long days, travel, and taking a dip in the pool or the ocean. This month’s mood is all about a relaxed sensibility, blue and white stripes, white linen, tan leather, straw, and sun-kissed skin.
