I’m thrilled to have the amazingly sweet Maya from Charmingly Styled on the blog today while I’m away on my trip! Many of you already know Maya, but if you’re one of the few who hasn’t met her be sure to pop over to her blog, you’ll be immediately addicted!

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to be taking over Jen’s lovely blog for the day while she’s on a well-deserved vacation in Hawaii! Have you seen her Instagram photos yet? Color me jealous! Jen and I bonded last year when we realized we shared a love for all things lovely: turquoise, polka dots and J.Crew. We quickly went from blogging buddies to becoming real life friends {don’t you love when that happens?}.  Another love we share is for stripes, specifically those nautical in nature. Since Jen is enjoying the gorgeous beach-y weather, I thought it would be fun to feature some stripes to inspire the rest of us. Which of these picks are on your wish list?

Thanks for letting me stop by and play, Jen! We all can’t wait until you’re back from the sun and the sand to share your photos and adventures with us all!
