hostess.

I definitely think the little succulent sculptures from yesterday's post would be the perfect hostess gift, and it made me think about what other hostess gifts I've recently come across.  Below are a few of my faves.  Uhhh hello, that adorable heart shaped ice tray is less then $5.  And be sure to check out my first little round-up here.

succulent gifts.

You may have seen via instagram that I purchased these amazing little succulent sculptures with the intention of adding them to G's office, but now I want to keep them in our home.  Opppps.  Well wherever we decide to display them, I immediately thought that they would make the perfect hostess gift...right?

suits + shades.

This weekend had me day dreaming about lounging out poolside with a good book.  I already have the right suit and shades.  This Anthro suit that I bought a year ago is a serious winner in my book.  It's super flattering and I love the retro feel.  And my everyday go to shades are these Karen Walkers.  Eeeeeekkkk, but I'm already on the hunt for another suit.  I mean, how cute is this Mara Hoffman high waisted bikini?  I know I can't ever part with my current sunnies, but a back-up pair is always nice.  Right?!?

modern budget. six.

Are you scared of harem pants?  I was too, until I found this pair.  Yes, I get it, they are basically hammer pants, but I swear these are so comfy and still have style.  You'll want to wear them every.single.day!  And you know what, at that price (under $20), it's fine if you only wear them a few times then donate them to someone who might love their MC hammer style more then you.  Come on, give the harem pant a chance.  Oh and did you notice which top I wore with said pants?!?  The one I told you I can't stop wearing.  I wasn't kidding.  Happy Friday!

seeing double.

I have a confession to make, I have purchased two of the very same item of clothing.  Ekkkkk!  It's a very rare occurrence, but I have found a few dresses that I fell in love with and decided I needed the exact same one in a different color.  I already own this lovely in blush, but I'm kind of thinking I might need to invest in tea or mint too.  And I know that they call this a "slip dress", but it's definitely more of a tunic on me.  I love love love it!
