I definitely pack a straw fedora whenever I can. It's perfectly suited for any summer vacation and goes well with anything from shorts to dresses. Speaking of shorts, these are coming with me!
Other vacation staples for me? Bright colours and comfy shoes. And, if you're looking for good vacation shoes, be sure to check out Clare's post. I also recommend these.
I'm off to Disney World but you can follow me via Instagram (hoggerandco) or Twitter, as I'll be using both while I'm there!
Location:
The South End Buttery + SOWA Market, Boston
I'm always up for any blogger meetup ops, or meet-ops, and one such opportunity arose when Elizabeth from Miami tweeted that she was going to be in Boston this past weekend. A glorious plan to meet on Sunday morning at the Southend Buttery, then head to the SOWA market, was born.
Here's how Anna, Natalie, Melissa, Elizabeth and I spent our Sunday morning. We even ran into Anne from Adjewelry who has a jewelry shop at SOWA. I purchased a pretty bracelet for my niece's upcoming birthday.
And thank you Anna for the following Instagram:
Here's the item I purchased for my niece from Anne's SOWA shop:

Had a ball with Aubrie and Rachel at yesterday's shoot for Zoora's Capsule Collection, which we saw at the Liberty Hotel not long ago. We shot at the very cool Mass Challenge space at One Marina Park Drive in Boston.
Here's a sneak peek of the shoot. Be sure to check out Zoora's Capsule Collection for custom Spring looks for under $100!
My sister and I have been fans of Exclusively.in for a while, now. For luxurious indian fashion, jewellery and accessories, they have the best access to top Indian designers and hand-curated selections.
Having started in the Spring of 2010 by a small group of Indo-Americans, Exclusively.in is the destination for gorgeous textiles in vibrant colours and intricate craftmanship. The age-old tradtional sari finds itself reinvented for a new generation of modern expectations. This gap between old and new is what Exclusively.in strives to bridge, allowing us in the Western world to appreciate and easily attain Eastern traditions which before was beyond our reach.

I scored these Alice + Olivia shorts the other day from Neiman Marcus. Would you believe these were down to $53 from $158? Then I only ended up paying $3 for them as I had a gift card. I love a good deal.
What's been the greatest deal you've ever snagged on something?
Missoni for Target had everyone in a frenzy. The website was down for some time, then Missoni items were all over Ebay. My sister went to Target and scored some really cute items for herself and for me! She got me this shirt and these pumps. The pumps are a bit loose on me so they may go back, but aren't they pretty?

Some of my girlfriends from Toronto were visiting this weekend, so I decided to wear my Missoni shirt for our day out and about in Boston on Saturday. I wore it with skinny jeans, pearls and sunglasses and because we were walking around, Converse and an army green jacket with rolled up sleeves.
We also had a ball of a good time shopping at the Wrentham Outlets on Friday. The girls scored a great deal at the Vince Camuto outlet as they were having a "Buy One Get One 1/2 off" sale. I almost bought the same pair as my BFF but then I would have had to employ the "Buy One Throw One Out" rule. ;)
I'm loving everything in Francesca's Collection, right now. And they're having a great sale on (30% off all regularly prices shoes and handbags!)
I love these cushy, cute and colour-blocked handbags ($38 - 44).
The geo-metric, chunky, colourful jewellery is gorgeous. ($38)
The breezy printed and mod dresses are super cute. ($48-)

These girls in Montreal sure knew how to breeze their way through the hot day. And isn't that coral dress super cute?
Here are more coral ways to brighten up you summer:
Essie's Braziliant - such a great nail colour!
My favourite lip gloss, Dior's Glow Expert, in sheer light coral.
Great Ikat printed summer dress with a drawstring - gotta love that!
So sexy for those summer beach BBQs, tiered knit maxi dress.
The cutest coral flip flops for only $12.50!
One of a kind gorgeous and chunky coral bracelet.
How are you infusing this trendy colour into your wardrobe this summer?
Now that the sun is finally shining, here's some inspiration from our summer in Paris. From the impeccable suits and bright colours to what I wore (flowery summer dress, oxfords and straw hat that we got at a flea market) while shopping (I scored a pair of Prada shoes!) in Paris. What's your go-to outfit for a hot summer's day? (All images photohogger)
