a perfect day for a perfect day

balloon

Lately, for one reason or another, I've had to consciously decide in the morning that my day is going to be good and positive. The sun is shining, I have a roof over my head (with A/C!), tons of clothes to keep me from going naked, and people who love me.

Today is a perfect day for a perfect day!!

oh my gosh i need it now

I'm not sure at what point I stop torturing myself, but when I came across ET AL., ETC. via another blog today, I couldn't help myself.

Those details! The colors! Those fabrics! These are items I can see wearing from summer to winter... I need, I want!

Anyways, they are so reasonably priced (I say that about a lot of things, don't I?)and so pretty and classic. These were just a few of my favorites, but the shop is chock full of other great items.

etsy wish list: it's the little things

Every once in awhile, I like to really torture myself and go on an Etsy "shopping spree". It involves not spending a penny, but it sure does fill up my Favorites list pretty quickly. Here's what I've got my eye on this week.
I need this bag... how cool would this look with a denim shirt and black, slouchy slacks?!
I love, love, love these necklaces... they are the perfect little quirky topper to every single outfit. I can imagine wearing these with everything!
Again, these little earrings would go with anything and everything... so simple yet so statement making.

And the best part about all of these? Every single one is so reasonably priced and under $40.

Sooo...

I lied. To all two of my followers, but one of them is my fiance, so he doesn't count (sorry Z).

I had planned on Wednesdays to be some sort of special post (I don't even remember what I named it now) but I didn't really feel like doing it... sooo I present to you these pretty street style photos.

I liked them because they all feature layering (my favorite sort of styling) and I've missed my dear layering, what with this horrible, awful, no good, very bad heat.

Enjoy!

this with that: keep it casual

For the very first "this with that" feature, I chose the ever so lovely Hippy Chic Crochet Tank. In order to keep it casual (you know, for a day at the library perusing the bookshelves) I picked out a pair of polka dot shorts and gray strappy sandals, which go nicely with the cream color of the tank. The dainty gold earrings pair nicely with the braided fabric headband without overpowering one another. The slouchy khaki color tote is the perfect complement to the rest of the outfit. It's roomy and would be perfect for throwing all your library books into... I want to buy one for myself!
