Friday Finds Under $50

I have beaches on the mind this week with only (ahem) two days, 10 hours and 59 minutes left until take off. But lounging on an ocean shore doesn't come often for Wisconsin gals; we usually opt for time at the lake - ideally in a feminine bathing suit, offset by a jaunty fedora.

1. Stetson Straw Fedora, Madewell, $60 $49.99
2. Liberty-Print Bikini Top, Undrest, $105 $42
3. Liberty-Print Bikini Bottoms, Undrest, $115 $46
4. Woven Road Bracelet, Banana Republic, $45 $30
5. Beaded Hoop Earrings, Topshop, $20

Tuesday Treats Under $25

I have a confession. In the confines of my suitcase, I'm a hoarder. For our four-night, five-day beachside vacation, I've already chosen shorts and tank tops for daytime excursions, dresses for evening cocktails, a couple of sweaters ("in case it's chilly" - yeah right) and (not one, but two) books.

I need to edit.

But there's a bit of room left in my luggage for last-minute accessories. I've already picked up this perfectly summery, saltwater-infused fragrance by Pucci.

1. Scarf, Aldo, $20
2. Bangle Bracelets, Eddie Bauer, $24.50
3. Acqua 330 Travel Spray, Pucci, $23
4. Woven T-Strap Sandal, Old Navy, $22.94

Two Years Old

It's my blog's second birthday today - and I'm sending virtual hugs to each of you! When I first created this blog, I knew it would be an outlet for my sartorial fixations (like this quirky birthday candle ring), but I never expected it to spark so many new friendships.
