after being in oz for six days now, i can officially say i’ve worn a swimsuit more already than my entire six years living in seattle.

a girl needs variety, so naturally a bikini is already in tow…but how many of you babes have a sleek one-piece ready to party? i certainly don’t, but after being here and realizing the waves will peel that top of it one solid swoop, i’ve already added ‘cute one-piece’ to my to-get list.

a few summers back, i rode a horse for the first time and haven’t ridden one since. despite the lapsed time, i must admit it was a pretty fabulous time and i hope i ride another sooner than later. perhaps this time i’ll embrace my inner-betty draper (strictly stylistically) and rock a slick equestrian look.

leave it to a classy gal like audrey hepburn to pony up.

nothing is more attractive than watching your guy cook for you. if what he’s cooking for you are pancakes then you’re a lucky, lucky gal.

(especially if he’s making you blueberry pancakes and wearing a super-sweet sweatshirt like this dude is).

i’m not sure who this belle is, but this is an outfit worthy of being photographed.

telling of the times, these days the paparazzi shoot pictures of celebrities wearing uggs, without makeup, or whatever dumb things they’re doing these days. usually pictures of famous folks shopping make you cringe or wonder how multi-millionaires can look so sloppy; however, the gal above looks amazing and i couldn’t be more obsessed with the whole stylish get-up.

one’s zooey deschanel girl crush never wanes, especially when you see pictures like this that make ya pine for longer hair, thicker bangs and a curling iron.

sometimes you’ll see a picture of marilyn monroe and straight-up deny she could ever be a size 14. however, the picture above reminds me of the curvy girl we adore.

how you can look so candid around a stud like cary grant is beyond me. and as i noted yesterday, just as florals on guys can be done right, so can the length of swim shorts—not every pair needs to sag down to mid-calf and reveal one’s crack. his shorts are perfect.

a look only a modest chest can dote, i’m absolutely smitten with this dress—the hue, the cut, the white ribbon.

i love a vintage man in floral. and these days, most guys leave florals strictly to boardshorts. gentlemen, i’m here to tell you florals aren’t just for swimwear.

while our buddy elvis, above, is wearing what resembles a women’s shirt (take note of those sleeves), i don’t even care! i love the country look on him. besides, what’s more manly than that touseled hair and sideburns peaking beneath that hat?

not.a.thing.

sometimes a gal just needs to put on a mask, dance around in her underwear and have a grand ol’ time. my desired mask of the moment? — this elephant one, of course.

tiddly-dee-dee, those shorts on the right are something to be admired! leave it to louise brooks and friends to make me — for the first time ever — envy a pair of shorts.

p.s. of course louise is wearing heels at the beach. of course!

nothing looks prettier next to all this lace and lovely-hued dresses than her ginger hair.

sharply dressed bikes look even sharper when passively riding a bicycle, such as the one above.

we can all use a little embracement of our inner-dutch/danish selves and ride a good-lookin bike. after all, it does the body and environment good.

i’m back in my native stomping grounds for the next week, the oregon coast, and the weather is despicable. despite being AUGUST, it’s gray, drizzly and a whopping 12 degrees — my attempt at celsius since i’m moving to australia in 5 days! — that’s just shy of 54 for you fahrenheit junkies.

perfect umbrella weather.

in the last year i re-embraced umbrellas. too stubborn to fall into tourist stereotypes, i spent my college years in seattle showing up here, there and everywhere else looking like a drowned rat because umbrellas were “un-northwest.” protest schmotest, i looked a’fool.

while i would never go to the extent of the gal above, the clear rain slicker, i love the glamor emerging from this waterproof look.

sometimes a gal must pull her hair off her face and behind a fabulous hat. while that would look utterly awful on me, ms. brows here looks wonderful.

i’m first to hate any t-shirt that resembles painted on features (think beefy body silhouettes), but the faux collar on this is just damn cool.

fact: girly girls like flowers.

the type of flower each girly girl likes varies drastically. one girl’s gerbera daisy is another girl’s cymbidium orchid. my flower of choice is the peony—so full, so luscious, so lovely.
