Thanks to Barney over at Motel for sending over this adorable Nautical striped "Cynthia" dress my way, along with a few more I can't wait to model for the blog. You can enter: SUMMERFUN in the checkout menu for 20% OFF.
Summertime á la Erika.... watermelon shakes, reading magazines in my hammock, collecting sunglasses, wearing lo-top sneakers, watching OC re-runs because Cohen is just right for Summer, painting my toes in every color of the rainbow.... ROYGBIV. Listening to Classical music while browsing new books at Barnes&Noble, baking Pastries for dessert to have with ice cream, lounging by the pool, the beach is a daily thing... and always remembering to order pineapple smoothies at Jamba Juice after a long Yoga workout....

Love the striped bows on the back! cute !!!:)
very cute and summery.
I had been eyeing that dress for ages thanks to you I know have a 20% promo code ;-)
A vision!
You wear stripes well its not an easy feat. But you are definitely in fit shape to wear it. Yoga huh? Maybe I should try this sometime. And I completely want your sneakers!!
Very tomboyish and utterly adorable. Please send some of that summer over to the east coast- it won't stop raining!
i am lovin motel's stuff. it's perfect summer fun gear.
looks fab.
email me your address. I've got something for you
*bisous*
Super cute dress!! I like the bows.
By the way, I wish I could have bought stuff at your sale but I had to spend all my money this month on my car. When I saw all your cute things I had to literally turn off the computer and walk away from it. Waaay too tempting. ;)
If you have another one in the future, I'm definitely going to grab a few items!! Your style is too amazing to pass up! :P
Erika I gotta borrow this one!!!!!

very cute top!!
I love that patriotic top! :)
@ Lauren Have fun I hope you find some items you like so you can use that 20% off coupon. ;)
@ Najeema It actually rained right after I took those pictures and all weekend too. :(
@ Beverley Once you hammock, you won't go back ;) do you have Smoothie King, perhaps? They're equally fantastic!
I love that dress. simply amazing!
How sweet! I love how you innovate clothes, j'adore.
I want to steal that dress for 4th of July!!
Thanks everyone, the bows are what made my eyes turn into little hearts the minute I saw the dress! <3
@ Suzi Thanks, sweetie :)
@ TINE I think I will wear it again just for that occasion ;) in a whole new way!

I like your skin tone! It's tanned, but very natural! White looks totally amazing with it.
Motel is bound to become one of your new favourite brands, huh? I love their things too, that floral body suit was awesome too!
Question: did you remove the music playing widget? I can't find it anymore!
I just looked at Motel's site and I really like their designs, and the prints. It all has such a retro feel to it!
Did you just tuck the dress inside the trousers?
Watermelons, I love 'em... I remember, on Monday I carried a watermelon to the "garden party" (you know which??) and my arms still ache.. But watermelons are worth it! Though they're totally heavy.
Summer à la Erika sounds perfect. Today my summer holidays have started, by the way! YAY!
Breat to hear that the blouse is still available. At the moment I don't have money because I needed to buy birthday presents, but as soon as I have money again, I'll buy something from you! I think we're about the same size, no?
Its funny how nautical has taken off big time this season as it was barely on the catwalks, only a few designers featured nautical as a trend. Such a great look and I love your dress and the bow detailing.
those cute ribbons behind makes me drool... i mean, they really add bonus points to the whole outfit... the pants rocks too with its cute back pockets...
love the summer description... makes me wanna do all those stuff too
Love your top :) and the jean
and of course the beautiful view !!!
xoxo :)
The Motel dress is adorable..I love nautical.

Oh my, that dress is so quirky and cute and look amazing on you!
I miss the OC so much, but mostly because I miss Seth and Summer and their fun relationship. They are the perfect couple in my book *hearts them*
Hmm, pineapple smoothies... now there's something I haven't tried before!

checked the site,omg! the dress is so lovely!! I love how you wore it too.
I adore that top! I have been looking for seomthing nautical for ages, but everything either looks the same, or hangs strangely on my awkward frame. This top, however, is unique and very very pretty.
I just wish I wasn't totally skint this month!
Bows and cutouts. Now that's my kind of combo. Awesome top.
Ohhhhhhhh so cute :) love this outfit.
Tell me please, what you do at your hair? It´s seems so perfect and healthy... I want this hair...
