Tippi

Tippi sweater - J. Crew (the color I have is neon persimmon and in dyed linen), Shorts - Target, Flats - Steve Madden (old), Necklace - F21, Bracelets - Stella & Dot and J. Crew, Bag - MNG Mango (old)

 

This was one of those purchases that I mulled over for a long time. I had read rave reviews on J.Crew's Tippi sweater, and the neon colors they came out with for Summer were indeed bright! I wasn't sure if I would get good use from it, but so far I'm very happy that I managed to pick one up during their sale a few weeks back. Now I want one in "turquoise pool".

I'm off to the beach this weekend with my best friend! I hope you have a wonderful Friday!

Retail Therapy

This is a shopping post. It doesn't get much deeper than that. I suppose no apologies are needed as I'm preaching to the choir ;)

Essie nail polish in: Bikini so Teeny, Bazooka, and Lights

Much brighter in person

M.A.C blush in full of joy
I had to try it after Laura's recommendation. Sadly, it is limited edition which reminds me why I don't even bother with collections anymore.

From the Nordstrom anniversary sale:

Frenchi Vanity Tweed Jacket
Doesn't have much hanger appeal. In fact, it looks sort of pathetic here. But it's very sweet in person, and I'm always a sucker for a little tweed jacket in the Fall. Paired with denim, it looks instantly pulled together. I was joking with my friend that this won't see the light of day until November.

Lily White Lace Shorts in Taupe
After lusting after lace shorts on countless bloggers (including this favorite ), I wanted to give them a try.

Ivanka Trump Abello Flat in Light Beige (Nordstrom Exclusive)

Chic and versatile.

Rose Oversized Link Strand - Baublebar

Beautiful statement necklace that doesn't need anything else!

Blue-greens + Lace

Tank: J. Crew (Similar), Cardigan - Halogen, Skirt - Francesca's Collections (Similar and super pretty), Shoes - Nordstrom Rack (old), Bag - MNG Mango (old), Necklaces - H&M (Similar) and Baublebar

Nothing ground-breaking here kids, just an outfit I wore to dinner with the boy and some friends Friday night. We went to a Mexican restaurant, and it was pure heaven.

I hope you aren't sick of seeing my turquoise bubble necklace! I wish it were still available at H&M, but with so many retailers selling these like hotcakes, I am certain you can (and already have) found similar versions spanning the price range.
The little cobalt pendant necklace I'm also wearing is from baublebar, and it's becoming my favorite online place to shop for jewelry (aside from Stella & Dot).
I think I need to reel myself in and step away from the computer! Sort of easier said than done when you're a blogger :)

*Case in Point* I'm lusting after this at the moment, but have yet to pull the trigger:

This Etsy designer makes gorgeous things!

It's all in the details

c/o The Knot, Brides, and Pinterest

Just some inspirational wedding pictures I have saved on my computer right now. Notice a theme? Lots of ivory, flowers, lights, lanterns, and of course, the beach <3

We want a simple yet elegant touch, but with a modest budget in mind. Very romantic as well!

We set the date, and we found our location. Finally! Now the real planning can begin. I'm not going to document too much of it on here because: I don't want to bore anyone, I'd like to keep some details private, and I don't want this to turn into a wedding blog. But I'll keep you updated with anything I think you might like to see! Sound good?

Happy Friday!
