We're experiencing a Wisconsin heat wave with above-freezing temperatures in the forecast for the next week. Thirty-eight degrees isn't exactly beach weather, but it's just enough warmth to make me itch for summer days. And fortunately enough, I'm heading to California this year with my boyfriend for his best friend's wedding. Who cares if the wedding isn't until June? I'd like to start my fantasy beach-ready suitcase now.

Haha, we've been joking about our 40 degree heat wave over here too. The snow is melting and I feel like wearing shorts.
ReplyDeleteThat blue dress looks fabulous! what a wonderful color
ReplyDeleteFabulous choices. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess people may consider me lucky that I live in Hawaii and all, but there are days that I wish I could walk outside and see and touch snow! Can you believe I've never touched snow. Boo! One day, one day!!
Love & Aloha, S
Oh yes enjoy the warmer weather!! And love the inspiration for this spring and summer :)
ReplyDeleteOh, that Jersey Lomellina Retro Bandeau Tank is absolutely stunning. Loving this post!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! I especially love that blue cover-up from Melissa Odabash. The 2010 Melissa Odabash cover-ups are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your beach picks, especially the bathing suit and that bag. I think I saw those bags in an InStyle feature last year -- what a standout piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your idea of pinning brooches to multiple necklaces -- it's a chic idea I'm going to have to try soon! - JoAnn, Sidewalk Chalk
Lovely collection, I think the swim suit is so flattering, and the recycled sail bag is very cool.
ReplyDeleteThose look perfect for CA! Where are you going in CA?
ReplyDeleteWow, that outfit is *beautiful* :) And LOL, I'm in California and I was just looking at the weather forecase for Paris and saw it was 38 degrees today and thought I might die. I guess it's all about perspective ;) If you are in NorCal this summer come visit!
ReplyDeleteI love that ensemble :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, I love those DVF sandals! Oh you're going to Socal! You'll have so much fun. I'm in Northern California....sigh
