lilly pulitzer elsa

I talk about this Lilly Pulitzer “Elsa” tunic every summer, but that’s because it really is the best thing to wear for a summer road trip. The silk is lightweight and breathable, and sleeves offer enough sun protection to keep you from getting fried. I’ve had this top for almost three years now and I go back to it time and time again. In fact, I think it’s been with me for every vacation since I bought it! I purchased another Elsa tunic when we visited Palm Beach earlier this year. It’s an obnoxious bright pink that I don’t wear nearly as often as this one. I still love it, but I think another blue tunic is in order. It’s a tossup between the peacock-esque scallops on this one and this bamboo-inspired print.

In completely unrelated news, Tory Burch’s private sale started today and runs through Aug. 14. Shop it here.

It’s now day six with a fractured foot. Some things are getting easier (like motoring around on crutches), but some things are increasingly frustrating (like the bruising on my side from the crutches). This is my first time breaking a bone and I wasn’t sure what to expect (so much crying!). I’ll share my observations later this week, along with tips in case you ever have the misfortune of fracturing your own foot.

On a more upbeat note, this is my final post with Cara for our #WaysToYosca series. This pendant and the coordinating pair of earrings (seen in this post) have been an integral part of my early summer wardrobe. I tend to fall in love with a new piece of jewelry and wear it for weeks on end with different outfits. These two pieces from Gerard Yosca’s “Mesa” collection are no different and I’m sure I’ll be wearing them well into autumn with the upcoming season’s Native American trend.
