I’m back from a great vacation to Istanbul and Italy for a few weeks with my husband and close friends. Highlights from our excursions soon, but feel free to check out some of my Instagram pictures @taffetaandcedar. I decided on clean lines and minimal pieces for this look. Oh, and I love these leather sandals that I picked up in Capri. Simple and chic! Have a great Monday!

Merhaba from Istanbul! Here’s an example of what I’ve been wearing while visiting some friends in Turkey. And what better setting for a shoot than the Topkapi Palace. The weather here has mostly been hot and sunny, so lightweight fabrics are a must. I picked up these pants while shopping near Taksim Square the other day and they are quickly becoming a favorite!

Probably because they’re black and white! The cinched ankle and drapey fit are perfect for a hot summer day. . . and my upcoming travel, but you’ll hear more about that later!

The weather has been gorgeous these past few days in Chicago, which means I’m out and about as much as possible. I love this little cap-sleeve blouse I picked up at H&M. The material is super thin and a great piece to dress up or wear with cutoffs for running around the city. Have a great Monday!
