Every summer season, I have a casual, go-to outfit. My weekend casual summer outfit for this year is definitely the one pictured in this post! The pants are comfortable and cool, the top is soft, and more interesting than your average tee, and these shoes! We have to talk about these shoes!

Espadrilles are fabulous in the summer months. They are comfortable, and make walking on the beach a breeze. I cannot go through a summer season without a fabulous pair of espadrilles, or two, or maybe three! Ha!

These Tory Burch espadrilles offer a small wedge, so they are comfortable. I love small wedges or heels because they offer just the right amount of arch support. I have worn this pair several times already and they are so comfortable for walking, and wearing throughout the day. They have become my go-to pair of shoes on casual days. Love them!

This top has quickly become one of my favorite casual shirts. I love how it looks with these cropped twill pants, as well as jeans, cut-off shorts, twill short, and denim skirts. It is a really versatile, casual top for the spring and summer months. It will easily be a part of any weekend casual summer outfit no matter which bottom I choose. Love that!

The bracelet I am wearing is from Kendra Scott’s summer 2016 collection. I love this bracelet because it is convertible! The tassel is removable, so the bracelet can be worn as-is with the tassel, or as a chunky chain bracelet without the tassel. I prefer wearing the tassel, I love how fun it is! I am tempted to pick it up in gold-tone too. Kendra Scott’s entire summer collection is to-die-for. You can check it out online here.

I love a beautiful handbag, so when I spotted the Tory Burch Mercer shoulder bag in ombre yellow, or “Sunbeam Degrade” to be exact, I knew I needed to add it to my collection. I love the ombre finish, the classic chain straps, the size, and the ease of use.

The Tory Burch Mercer shoulder bag offers so many handy features; it is amazing for the price! Priced under $400, the Tory Burch Mercer handbag offers a lot of bang for your buck. The strap is adjustable; like the Chanel 2.55, it can be worn long, or doubled up for a shorter, under the shoulder look. This allows the Mercer by Tory Burch to be worn with various hemlines, as well as different types of attire. Versatile = Love!

Inside the Tory Burch Mercer, organization resigns supreme. There are open pockets which are great for small items you need to be able to find quickly. In addition to the open pockets, there is a roomy zipper pocket which is perfect for protecting small items, or if you are like me, and need a place to put receipts, it is a great place to organize receipts, and small pieces of paper.

The interior compartment of the Tory Burch Mercer offers ample room for everyday purse essentials. I can easily fit my wallet, phone, lipstick, keys, phone charger, and charging cord inside the handbag. Although the interior is roomy, the handbag itself is small in scale, so it is easy to dress up for dinner, fundraisers, or the theater.

To add to the versatility of this shoulder bag, there is an exterior pocket which is perfect for storing tickets, or other slim items you want to easily access without having to open the turn lock on the saddle bag style flap. The turn lock, by the way, is extremely easy to use, and it is sturdy. Love that!

I am thrilled with my first Tory Burch Mercer handbag. It is a classic handbag which is easy to use, and offers so much versatility; I am a sucker for adjustable straps! In addition to ombre colors, Tory Burch offers her classic Mercer shoulder bag in solid colors. This is a great shoulder bag to collect! Love!

The leather on the Tory Burch Mercer also needs a shout-out. It is pebble leather which is really easy to keep clean. With the swipe of a soft, damp cloth, you can easily whip off marks, and dirt form the surface. This is a key feature when you have three kids like me! I never know when a chocolate covered, or pizza sauce covered, hand will reach inside my purse looking for my iPhone! If I can’t clean a handbag, how can I use it daily? Thankfully, the Tory Burch Mercer can be used on a daily basis. Love that!

The Tory Burch Mercer shoulder bag can be found online in ombre here, here, here, and here. It can also be found in solid hues here, and here.

Larimar jewelry is absolutely beautiful. So, when I received this Larimar ring, I was dazzled by it’s beauty! The Larimar stone is a fabulous, light turquoise gem with small streaks of white in it. I love how, in this ring, it is set with a pearl in silver. I also love the bypass style of the ring.

When I was putting together an outfit around the ring, I knew I had to pair it with my light blue vintage wool skirt by Missoni. The blue in the ring, and the blue tweed in the skirt, played well together.

I love how well-made the Larimar ring is, and color is just spectacular. I am looking forward to wearing this ring often, and for many years to come! I have only had the ring for about one week, and I am already wearing it almost everyday! Love!

Larimar has so many jewelry options on their website. I am in love with their cuffs, and their earrings are stunning! I definitely want to add more Larimar jewelry to my collection.

The Larimar stone is found in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean, around the Dominican Republic. The Larimar stone is created by volcanic activity, and is considered a powerful throat chakra. It is believed to aid in the expression of emotions. Love that!

The perfect blue hue of the Larimar stone makes it ideal for wearing this spring season. It will look amazing paired with shades of blue, and this season’s rose and blush hues. I cannot wait to wear this ring often!
