Memorial Day Must-Haves

I don’t know about you but this upcoming weekend is gonna be a freakin’ treat wrapped in a sparkly bow. After a loooong work week in which I felt like towards the end my brain was starting to melt, I’m wicked jazzed, yo.  I’m headed to Palm Springs for a couple days with the Hubs, then back for some BBQs and what-not. Just general laziness.  Below, a smattering of Memorial Day must-haves:

The most adorable, lightweight cotton shirts in an aloha print:

A too-cute-for-words bikini (or “babing suit” as a spry Karrie said as a child)

A great summer jam:

A shiny new book to ingest poolside:


A cool beverage, like this blueberry lavender mojito:

A relaxed, cottony jumpsuit cute enough for daytime but also great for nighttime.  Just pair with some sparkly accessories and a Palm Springs tan and voila!:

And last but not least… a partner in crime for the weekend:

HUBS!

Ahhhhhh… Aren’t you relaxed already?

Happy Memorial Day weekend everybody!

The Best $27.80 You’ll Ever Spend.

I found the most darling little (faux) leather jacket at Forever 21 last week and just had to grab my megaphone.  Surprisingly, for $27.80, it doesn’t feel cheap AT ALL – it feels like BUTTAH.  It’s not online, but it is still in stores…  So, I recommend scooting sprinting over to Forever and snagging one for yourself, stat.

Look at the contrast detail on the underside of the arms.  It’s a cozy sweater material. Nomnomnom.

Sideview.  The collar rocks my face off.

I’ll be in the Hamptons this weekend with my favorite co-blogger, Karrie, and our 3rd bestie, Melissa.  And you better believe all I packed were a few long maxi dresses and my skinny cargo jeans…  all of which I will be wearing this new bad boy over, since it’ll be brisk at night.

xoxo!
