French Inspired and Linen

Two of the biggest trends in shirts this summer are absolutely going to be French inspired and linen.
Pretty much every shop at the mall has t-shirts with a French inspired flare to them.
Whether or not it features the French language or the Eiffel Tower, it's easy to find one for you
whatever your budget may be.
Linen is a great option for shirts the summer.
The lightweight fabric is perfect for when the temps start to soar.
While it can wrinkle easy, laying it flat to dry after washing can help with that.
One option I went for, is wearing a t-shirt that is French inspired and linen.
Mine is from J.Crew , but below I have posted several shirts that are linen, French inspired, or both!
Here is what I wore with my French inspired linen t-shirt.

Elephants

This week I worked downtown and needed to dress up a little.
I decided it was time to wear my new elephant button down.
I picked up this "Elephant March" shirt at Madewell when I was in NYC.
It was too adorable not to buy.
The motorcycle pants have become a new favorite of mine.
I love the fit, and the zippers, as well as the interesting details down the legs.
Here is what I wore to work this week:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (Nordstrom)

Necklace: Holding Pattern Necklace (Madewell)

Button Up: Elephant March Boyshirt (Madewell)

Update

Hi Guys! 

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. 

Both Kaya and I have been crazy busy, and we have

 failed you in the process.

But we do have good excuses! 

I traveled to NYC to see James Franco in Mice and Men on Broadway,

while Kaya has been crazy busy training and running in all sorts of relays and races! 

Please forgive us.

We promise we will be better.
