Let's Save Some Money

There is a note, written on my office dry-erase board, that my sweet "office roommate" wrote to help herself with the little thing we all know as a shopping addiction. It reads something along the lines that she will not buy anything in the month of July...unless it is at least 60% off. 

That is really a great rule, because if something is that discounted then it is just begging to be purchased. 

Although the items above are not all 60%, they are all on sale and a great deal. A girl like me can never resist a sale. I swear to this day that I was running towards a "great sale" when I cracked my head open and needed stitches as a very young child. I might embellish the story a bit, but I did hit my head on a clothing rack in a Ross, and their were stitches involved.

Things I Love

It's Things I Love Thursday and goodness, I love so much. It is one of those times when I love everything that I see in stores, online, and on blogs. This always happens when a new season comes along because the colors and styles are new and different. I am officially ready to swap out all my jeans for shorts and my leggings for dresses. I am ready to retire my dark bags for bright and cheery totes and all of my red and purple nail polishes have been replaced with pastels and neon hues. Summer is here and I am loving it all! 

1. Reebok Yoga Tank
2. Kate Spade Bourbon Street Bag
3. Joie Perfume
4. Rosarita Maxi Dress
5. C Wonder Tortoise Aviators
6. Kenneth Jay Lane Turquoise & Crystal Necklace
7. Essie "Lights"
8. J Crew Neon V-Neck Sweater

This is the beginning of my birthday wish list. 

Let's Go to the Beach

I know that I am counting down the days until my beach vacation. Sea Side, Florida is just a few weeks away and not just is it the beach but a beach wedding! To prepare, I ordered some bathing suits (20% off on Shopbop today, swooning over this one), I have been slowly working on my tan, and now am in search of the perfect beach tote. The thing about beach bags is that they should be waterproof and big enough to carry all the essentials. iPod, book, sunglasses, water bottle, lots of SPF, towel, and snacks. Snacks are optional if you happen to have a personal waiter who brings umbrella drinks and fruit kabobs at your beck and call.

Now hiring: a personal beach snack waiter. 

Work It Out

I would never consider myself a gym rat or a workout junkie, but I have been working out more often and it only is partially due to the fact that the clothes are so comfortable and cute. Lululemon is a huge shopping addiction for me (but I think definitely worth the splurge on some things) but I have been exploring less expensive options as well. Old Navy has really great tops and jackets and I found my new favorite pair of yoga, cropped pants at my local TJ Maxx. Here are some other great finds, some more expensive and some less. My biggest piece of advice when shopping for work-out clothes is choosing materials that feel good on your skin and making sure that the pants will not be see-through. Nobody wants that...nobody.

If It Isn't Neon (It Shouldn't Be On)

So much neon popping up all over the fashion world and I am loving it. Nothing says warm weather and Spring like dashes of these hot colors. Now if only the weather would cooperate....
