I only bought three things this month, one was some navy sandals I've been needing for my Summer wardrobe, the second some new denim shorts and the third a ring while on vacation. Not too bad! The sandals were a bit of a splurge but I was having trouble finding a perfect pair of navy sandals.

Don't you hate rainy days? This outfit is not very Summery and yet it is what I wore on the first day of Summer, which was also Father's Day. The day started out very dreary, but luckily it turned out to be a nice day in the end.

I wore this outfit over the weekend and it's awesome how comfortable we can dress now without actually wearing pajamas. I refuse to wear sweatpants out in public, so these Sea pants are the next best thing! Unfortunately it was threatening to rain all day so it was on the cooler side, but that just meant I got to wear my chambray jacket!

Here's my last vacation outfit! Sadly the dress didn't photograph too well, I swear it isn't really this frumpy! But I thought it was the perfect piece to wear to Animal Kingdom, don't you? My hair also looks very frizzy in the photos, clearly a bad day all around for photos!

Our last 2 days were spent at Disney. On Sunday we went to EPCOT with another friend and accomplished quite a lot! We went on all the rides we wanted, had lunch in China and dinner in Italy and visited more countries in between! Quite the round the world trip. This was probably the hottest day during our stay so wearing a tee was probably a bad idea. We just made sure to keep hydrated and ducked into stores as much as we could to escape the heat!

I wore this on Day 3 of our vacation, which was spent at Universal (again). We finished the night at their 25th Anniversary Concert Series where I won 2 tickets for special seating in the Coca-Cola Ahh Zone. We got to see Huey Lewis and the News, who were amazing! They did one of my favorites songs, If This Is It, as well as some other classics like Power of Love and Heart of Rock and Roll. I was hoping they would do Stuck With You too, but alas, they did not!
I finally got to wear my adorable new DKNY romper and I am in love! It is really soft and comfortable and actually looks good on me! I've had a hard time finding a romper that actually flatters me, so I'm pretty pleased. I forgot to take off my knee brace before taking photos, but let's just go with it and pretend I'm accessorizing!

This is what I wore to Kat's birthday celebration on our second night! We went to Raglan Road, an Irish Pub at Downtown Disney! I had the Kiss Before Shrimp and Dunbrody Kiss for dessert. SO DELICIOUS! If you are ever looking for a place to eat at DD, I highly suggest this place! In the detail shot you can see my adorable new amber owl ring from Jurassic Park in Universal's Islands of Adventure!

I wore this during the day on Friday for our time in the park. We started the day by getting SOAKING wet on the Jurassic Park ride and then met up with a few friends to explore the rest of the parks, mainly Harry Potter and Marvel. I was very glad we started the day on a water ride because it helped keep us cool on the super hot day. These photos were taken at our hotel, Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, which is one of Universal's on-property hotels.
