Poolside Wishlist

1. Bathing Suit // 2. Hat // 3. Sunglasses (Available next week!) // 4. Shoes // 5. Lipstick // 6. Notebooks // 7. Shell Purse // 8. Drink Sleeve

As the weather heats up, I'm finding myself dreaming of all the pretty poolside treats and treasures.  I would love to be all fancied up in these lovely things, sipping a light cocktail and jotting down notes and ideas in that flamingo notebook.  A girl can dream, eh?

Fall Wishlist

I was doing my normal round of internet browsing and fell in love with so many things at one of my favorite online shops, Emerging Thoughts, that I just had to share some of my favorites!

1. Dahlia Dress  //  2. Larry David candle  //  3. Quay Sunnies  //  4. Swan Patch  //  5. Postcard

What are some of your most loved online shops?  I've (of course) have been finding lots of cute new stuff on Etsy lately.  Other than that, Salvage Life, Family Affairs, and Nasty Gal are some of the others I like to frequent.  I'm always looking for new favorites, so if you have any recommendations, leave them in the comments and I'll take a peek!

Happy Thursday, friends!  xo.

Let's Get Beachy!

I know we're all gearing up for back-to-school and fall clothes, but I also love this time of year for warm weather clothes, because of all the summertime clearance sales!  As I've mentioned over the past few weeks, our family is headed to the beach for one last HOORAH before school is officially in session in our household.  These are some of the lovely items I've had heart eyes for:

1. Bathing suit // 2. Sunnies // 3. Headband // 4. Dress // 5. Sandals // 6. Banana Purse

Happy Tuesday, friends!  I hope your week is getting off to a great start!  xo.

Take Me Out

1. Dress  // 2. Cat Purse  //  3. Sunnies  //  4. Shoes  //  5. Whistle necklace

I feel like I've mostly been living in jeans for the past several months and I'm SO ready to break out all my pretty dresses and bare legs!  This warmer weather has me excited to get dressed again.

Do you hear that, Johnny??  It's time for date night loaded with cheese fries and beer!  Let's go out!

**Guys, ModCloth is having a 15% off sale right now on spring dresses and Emerging Thoughts is having a 25% off sale on everything right now.  Just thought I'd share!!  

Fall Vibes

It's raining and cool here today-- the perfect fall weather.  We're ordering Thai food in and taking it easy for a few hours.  It's exactly what I needed after a crazy hectic week!

T-shirt  //  Necklace  //  Skirt  //  Shoes  //  Purse  //  Sweater  //  Tights

Our band has a show tonight and another show out of town tomorrow night, so I'm just going to soak in all the relaxing I can for the time-being.  I hope each of you has a fantastic weekend.  xo.

Welcome, Fall

Okay, okay... I'm finally ready to admit that I'm a little excited about fall.  The weather has been nearly perfect and we're back to enjoying nightly walks and dinner outside.  I know you were worried about it, so I thought I'd let you know.  (Kidding, of course.)

Hat: UO;  Dress: UO;  Shoes: Free People;  Bag: NastyGal;  Watch: Free People

These are some of my favorite fallish items I've happened upon recently.  That dress is probably going to find a home in my closet very soon.  I can't even think of a more perfect fall pinafore.  This week is flying by, but happy Wednesday, friends!  xo.

Dress Crush

1 //  2  //  3  //  4  //  5  //  6

Dress crushes... sigh.  I've been having one of those crazy/kinda rough months this month, and sometimes it's nice to just take a break and do a little window shopping.  I find it relaxing to just zone out and shop online sometimes, even if I'm not buying.  These are some of my favorites I've found around the web lately.  Now I just need to find that pesky money tree so I can buy all the pretty things, right?!  ;))

I hope your week is getting off to a great start!  xo.

Farewell, Favorite Shoes

I had another post planned for today, but then my ol' trusty glitter flats broke and I fell into a deep sea of sad shoe shopping.  I'm sure I could find another pair, but usually I figure it's good to let a favorite pair of shoes run their course and then be done.  Otherwise I'd become that person who wears the same pair of shoes for 10+ years.  And really, who wants that?

Shoes:  1  //  2  //  3  //  4  //  5  //  6  //  7

How do you deal when you wear out a favorite pair of shoes?  Do you (sadly) let go like me, or do you search eBay and Zappos for an exact replacement?  I wanna know!

Summer Vacation Wishlist

Holy cow, guys!  Our summer vacation is coming up so soon!  I've been having too much fun browsing all the summer suits and sunnies and sandals lately-- there is a lot of really cute stuff out there this season.  I am a high-waist bikini lover through and through, so I'm really happy they are in style and there are so many adorable ones to choose from.  I've bought a couple for our trip, so I'll show you my favorites as soon as they all get here!  

swimming suit, clutch, sunglasses, shoes, hat

Thanks for all of your kind words about Allison's photos yesterday.  She's a real talent and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her!  Happy Wednesday!!

Take Me Out

Dress, boots, heart clip, tights, tea set

Normally my date outfit posts are titled "Take Me Out", but I think I wouldn't mind staying in with this cute kitty tea set.  Maybe.  Or maybe we could come home and make a hot toddy after dinner an a movie.  Hey, Johnny... wanna take me out??

Take Me Out

dress, backpack, necklace, tights, hat, shoes, lipstick

It's been a little while since I've posted a date night outfit.  I've had the urge to go bowling lately, and I think this would be a great outfit for a bowling date.  Or maybe we could just sit at our favorite pub and eat fries and drink warm drinks.  Hey, Johnny... wanna take me out?

Fall Love

Happy Friday!
