Summer,

Don't go.

If you turn around and leave me in like a week... SO HELP ME, I'll miss you like crazy for a whole year! --goodness knows you don't show up until July as of late-- Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person living in Utah that doesn't really care for Fall.. but she's just not as wonderful as you are! "Yeah but, she's got all sorts of pretty leaves!" ..you know what I say to that? I'll take every shade of green on my leaves over orange and firey-fart colors any day! Granted.. those colors are pretty. I've digressed..

Dang, I definitely didn't get enough of you this time around, so hopefully you'll stick around indefinitely. I don't care if weather people and politicians freak out, GLOBAL WARM IT UP!!

WARM WARMNESS FOREVER!

I declare endless summer. Andrew and I want to move to Hawaii for this movement to be real for us. ..seriously debating it (well, I am at least, ha).

So in celebration of the best season ever, here are some nautical things I'd love to buy and wear for the next 8-10 months, assuming my plea meets reality of course.

1. Ella Moss 2. UO 3. J.Crew

4&5. Toms

Mrs. Dyer & I should start a petition of some sort to make this official. Or, this post IS the petition, and you can sign in a 'comment.' Do it. Pledge your agreeance! Or maybe I could turn into the "Blue Witch" or maybe a "Green Witch"..like in Narnia.. and make it Summer, but never Labor Day (Narnia clarification: the white witch makes it winter, but never Christmas). I'd prefer to be called the Blue or Green Mermaid if that's the case. That sounds better.

Summer, I love you.
And that's all I have to say.

Love, you're biggest fan-
Arica

Sir. Boost-a-lot

The man my man could surf like (have you seen the old spice commercials? you should, they're amazing) has his own range of gear now from Billabong, and I need to own some of it. I mean come on, people wear jerseys of their favorite players of their various sports of interest, how am I supposed to represent? I KNOW! With THIS waaay pimp Billabong TAJ watch, & shirt.

YESSSSS. Oh please, oh please! Isn't that watch sexy!? There are a couple of really sweet jackets too that I'd love to own. A couple of sweet things I'd love my man to own too. ...we could share. ha. If I had these, and some sweet VZ shades, I'd be set for sure.

PS. I wish he could just win a title already. Poor guy's made it so far so many times.. and he's in second place currently under his prodigy Jordy Smith.. so come on TB, make it happen cap'n.

PPS. Isn't that logo of his awesome? So rad.

...he's rad, just look at him shred.

Make a Wish..

Leave it to Anthropologie to deliver the best packaged birthday month discount around. Every year they top themselves, and make you feel special. This year was no different. It was simply precious. Candle adorned necklace and all.. (:

So with the discount, I bought this LUSCIOUS and yummy robe. ..Seeing as I'm seen in public with my robe on a daily basis, I figured a fashionable one would definitely be a good investment. And I LOVE it. I can't wait to be 'sleepless in Seattle' with it on (My favorite duo- Tom & Meg). You know.. watching the marine layer roll in and rain, sipping my herbal tea. (:


((Can you imagine the goodness!? It's even cuter and comfier in person..))
Anyway, come do a drive by when Turd is going potty, and you'll certainly see the glory that is my new robe.

Thank you Anthropologie! You always make me feel loved. (:

Punnett Blooms

This shirt looks like one of those little diddy's that you're both oober comfortable in, AND look super classy in. (:

I need to make a trip to Anthro, STAT.

Weekend Cardi

Does this outfit make anyone else itch for spring?
No?
Well, I sure am... and I can't wait till I get to enjoy shorts and sandles again.
If only this weren't Utah, that wouldn't be so far away from now. (:
Sigh, we'll get there..

Sorels

Guys, so I REALLY want sorels just like those above. You might think I'm silly, or you may have inspired the lust in me (Peter & Alexis!), either way... I wanna get me some, pronto. Like, it would have been really good to have had them, TODAY.

Where is the best/least expensive place to score some of these babies? Do you know?
Do share. Thanks. (:

Warmth & Glitz

Oh hello, beautiful and seasonally appropriate Anthropologie outfit...
Fancy a life with me? In my closet? On and off my bod? Oh, please say yes.. and show up free of charge while you're at it. (;

Opanak Shoes

My inner Cherokee and French-Canadian Indian would love to own and wear these shoes.
Honestly.. that part of my blood is goin crazy! (:
Love 'em.

Pay-LESS

Hey guys, so I thought I'd let you in on a lil' treat.
Oprah, the generous woman that she is, has given EVERYONE the chance to purchase as much as they would like from Payless, with 50% off! Guys, that's huge, especially because Payless is ALREADY having a Breast Cancer awareness sale, so shoes are already cheap! Oh, heavens.. I took advantage yesterday.. and got 4 pairs of shoes (2 for me, 2 for my man, both cuties shown above were part of my purchase), (: 2 pairs of socks.. all for $45! BOOM BABY! You can score too. Just go here and print the coupon, OR just text Oprahshow to 242424 and the coupon will be sent to your phone. Now go get your shop on, because today's the last day, and they have some CUTE SHOES RIGHT NOW (that's the important part)! (:

Have fun, and I wanna know about what you roll out with! (:

Knitties

Speaking of mid-section wearing items, can you say cutest version of a fanny pack I've ever seen!? Yeah, because that's what it is, a butt/hip/shoulder purse that is just darling! It adds as a functional accessory! I don't like having to continually hike purse handles up my arm in the fall/winter when I've got a thick coat on ..so DILEMMA SOLVED! (:

I'm sold. I seriously want one.

{purchase here!}

Budded Belt

I have this thing for belts lately.. big & bulky, light & skinny.. they're workin for me.

I'd like to add this to my little collection!

Collar, Buttons, & Pinstripes

Oh. Yummy..

India & Lavender

My friends, if I had the extra funds, I would buy both of these dresses..
RIGHT NOW!
Please, oh please.. someone send me a surprise gift!
Thanks. (:

Oh I love them.

Hey, Baby Makers..

I've got quite a few friends cooking up some kiddos right now, and a couple of you have asked me to keep my eye out. Now, I'm not pregnant, but if I were.. I would head to Old Navy right now because they've got some goods for the fall if you ask me!

ModLife

Oh how I would LOOOOVE to own, and wear this WHOLE outfit!
Seriously, Andrew would probably go blind with so much color, but I would be happy as a clam!

thanks, Cheski!

Dressy Casual

Oh my goodness do I want this outfit.

It reminds me of something Meg Ryan would wear in You've Got Mail (my ALLL time favorite flick). JCrew, I love you.. now ship me one of those skirts! (:

Shade

My friend Lindsay was wearing this dress on Sunday, and I let her know that she shouldn't be surprised if she sees it on me very soon. I LOVE IT, aaannd it's on SALE! Can't beat that!

Isla Luna Gifts

I love these pieces! I could find them a nice spot in my wardrobe..

{via Etsy}

Mexican Embroidered Dresses

Yes. I love Mexico. Yes. I LOVE bold colors & patterns (Andrew says I can be a bit overboard at times with my wardrobe, but I just can't help myself!). So, YES. Once ill seen, ill said posted about these tunics/dresses, my mouth was watering. Then Frolic! so kindly reminded me of their splendor, so I just HAD to share! They are SOOO exquisite! I would love to wear them. (:

Free People, you've done it again..

I always forget how much I love you, until I walk into Loehmann's and remember once again how truly amazing you are..

..I want this.
