a few of my faves.

I'm been trying (rather unsuccesfully) to put a halt on shopping.  I've been looking around our home and truly appreciating all of the "stuff" that we already have.  Like our bourgie lamp and my favorite pair of lace booties.  And I've also been figuring out ways to wear what I already have in my closet with different pieces.  Like my new go-to date night outfit, pairing any of my sequins skirts (or dresses) with a chambray top.  A little sparkle and a little jean is the way to go.  And to top it all off?  Well, you can never go wrong some ban.do in your life.  I own two of the gold hearts that I wear in my hair, on my shirts, and as shoe clips.  They are golden heaven!

found.

I have been on the search for this J.Crew dress for what seems like ages.  I was in love with the print and the style (long sleeved minis are awesome).  It quickly sold out online, in-stores, and I couldn't find it anywhere on eBay.  Then last week I decided to give it another whirl, and there it was on eBay and in! my! size!  Oh and almost half of the original price tag.  done & done!  Don't you just love it when stuff like that happens?

weekend.

This past weekend we grabbed our gold flatware and headed to the park to soak up some much needed sunshine.  I may have also come home with a sunburn, ouch!  Ha, can you believe that I got a sunburn in San Francisco?!?  Yep, that happened.  This weekend was so fun and reminded me once again why we love living in this city so.very.much.  After our picnic, I swapped out my shorts for a flowy skirt and we headed off to more afternoon fun with friends and eventually ended up at an impromtu dinner.  What an amazing weekend!

summer getaway.

At the moment, I'm craving a little summer getaway.  Yay, yay, yay...I realize it's not quite summer yet, but I'm aching for it now.  I mean I'm not going to lie, I'm not exactly the girl that's waiting for the season to begin just so she can run off to the beach.  I will most definitely be hitting up the beach, but I will be the girl with a HUGE umbrella shading me.  But it's more then just the sun that summertime brings.  It brings about a certain carefree attitude, a vacation mode, a sense of new things to come.  I'm ready for that feeling and I believe that the anticipation deserves a new dress to go along with it. Don't you?  I do believe that this lovely little yellow number would do the trick.  Uhhh hello, add a cute sun hat and sandals...we are done.

By the way, after I wear the stunning yellow number on my summer vacation (ha, do you notice that I'm already pretending like it's mine?)...I will definitely doll it up with a statement necklace and some amaze heels.  If I'm going to buy a pricey dress, I get a lot of bang for my buck (aka I wear it every chance I get).
