There is a great Heartsy deal today for an Etsy seller, Ari Press, who does amazing letterpress stationary. I definitely just ordered this deal - for $12 you get a $30 credit to her shop. I can't wait to order some fun stationary. Here are some of my favorites...
I don't know about you ladies but I hate that in the summer time my legs don't keep my tan as much as the rest of my body since I'm constantly shaving my legs. To remedy this, I like to use Favorite Thing #223 - Tan Towel half body application. It's a really easy way to apply self tanner with no mess. It comes with individually packaged 7 in. x 9 in. towelettes featuring a concentrated self-tan formula. Just open up the towelette, apply to the area and within 2-4 hours your tan will start to appear. It looks very natural and no streaking. Just be careful around ankles and wrists. And of course like with an self tanner...don't forget to wash your hands afterwards!!!!
My closet is almost looking like this! :) Here's part three of my closet clean out...lots of tops! Tank tops, blazers, etc. Variety of brands too J.Crew, Banana Republic, LOFT and Ella Moss. Check out the goods here.

I'm in the process of updating my blog and I want to hear from you. What don't I blog enough about? What are some of the topics you want me to keep blogging about? I don't share too much about my personal life, so now is your chance...what do you want to know about me?
It's summer time which means I'm reading a ton. I've already finished two books and I'm half way through my second. I'm a huge fan of her Shopaholic series so I decided to read one of her other books. So the first review of the summer is Sophie Kinsella's Remember Me. This was an easy "beach" read. The premise, a woman awakens with amnesia, hooked me right away. Parts of the book were just laugh out loud funny. For me this was the perfect summer book because it's doesn't stretch your brain too much and it's very entertaining. Here's a quick blurb about the plot of the book - 
I've posted more items. This time a bunch of skirts and pants. You can find them here. The first round of my items will end tomorrow. I hope that after all this clean out my closet will look nice and neat like this one and not busting at the seams with clothes I don't wear.
My little brother is getting married in September and I haven't bought a new dress in a while...our summers of weddings have slowed down...so I was excited to find something fun for the occasion. I hadn't planned on looking until later in the summer but I stumbled upon a dress that I had to get. I found this dress at the J.Crew Factory store in CT. It's part of the J.Crew collection (I guess only some of the factory stores carry this line) and they call it the Blue Martini. I love the colors and the style looks great on me. The best part was it was 30% off!!! Unfortunately, they didn't have my size so they ordered one from another store and it arrived over the weekend! I'm so happy with it. I have to get it taken in a little in the waist and the straps need shorten but other than that it's perfect. Here's a full length photo.

This past weekend was my last visit to CT. Hubby surprised me with a trip to the beach and outlet shopping to follow. :) Does he know me or what? We spent most of the day lounging and reading. It was so relaxing and peaceful. Outlet shopping was successful too. A pair of fab shoes from Off 5th, new Marc Jacobs sunglasses and a dress for my brother's rehearsal dinner. Pictures of those to come soon.
Only one more month till my Hubby comes home for good. I can't wait to finally be back to a normal schedule.
I saw this cute tunic at the Brooks Brothers at National Airport during one of my many visits there the past couple of months and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love it. I paired it with my J.Crew pixie pants but it will also work with skinny jeans, white pants, etc. It's a great purple/pink color and light weight enough that I'm not sweating in the DC humidity. It also comes in navy. 
My birthday is coming up and Hubby asked me what I wanted. I've been thinking about getting the Kindle but I don't know if I want to make the switch. I really like the touch and feel of books, reading them by the pool or at the beach. Need your advice as to whether or not I should switch. Do you use a Kindle and love it?
This weekend my girlfriend introduced me to Skinny Girl Margarita and it instantly became my favorite drink for the summer. It's so refreshing and exactly what I want on a hot day. It's the perfect low calorie cocktail during bikini season. The drink is a little strong so I put in a little Sprite/7-up to cut it...that and a squeeze of lime and it's good to go. In the DC area it's a hard drink to find so I definitely plan on stocking up when I can find it. This summer you can find me on my deck enjoying a glass...or two. :)
Got this super comfy wrap sweater from Piperlime. I wore it the other weekend when I was in CT.
Got this at a local boutique Emily Grace. It's simple tan tank that I will wear on it's own once I get a little more color. |
