Beachy Getaway Wishlist

It’s the middle of July. I have yet to go to the beach. Who am I even more? This year’s sandy vacations are starting late, the first one I’ll be headed off to is in two weeks time (I can make it, I can do it). I’m getting by by working my butt off to save some extra money for outlet shopping splurges and innumerable beachside margaritas. Oh, and pondering new items to bring with me! Here’s a peek into my beachy wishlist for this year:

Nothing says “beach vibes” quite like a gauzey caftan from Calypso St Barth; perfect for all day wear, no matter where my beach wanderings bring me.
if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll have noticed it has been like THE HARDEST thing in my life to find a swimsuit.Asos fuller bust bikini is a perfect mix of cleavage-covering and cut out bearing.
Mirrored Sunnies a la Ray ban via Urban Outfitters make reading/sleeping less of a spectation.
This Yes Way Rose tote is perfect to carry all my belongings from the house to the sand to the bar.
To pair with the bag, a bottle of 2012 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose, yes WAY.
Book: Darling You Can’t Do Both And Other Noise To Ignore for some light yet positive reading.
Pendleton Towel via South Moon Under to stay dry and cozy while getting my tan on.
Fuji Instax to capture memories instantly. It was on my goals for 2014 to capture more on film, and what better way!

Have you been to the beach yet this summer? What are your beach must-haves?

Another fun double-style post! The beau and I, as style savvy folks, love getting dolled up and going out on dates. We wore these out to dinner at an amazing DC Meditteranian restaurant called Zaytinya. They had a hearty amount of veg-friendly dishes, served tapas style which meant sharing, and I had my first taste of Ouzo!  velvet GAP dress thrifted via Savers/Value Village

We’re Only Young and Naive Still

We require certain skills
The mood it changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins My boyfriend and his friends may have thought this look was a little “grandma”, but I think it’s adorable (do YOU!?) I wore it out to  a bar when my Best Friend visited just after her return to The States from France. It’s feminine, cute, but not overly suggestive or flirty; just fun.

Dress c/o Ahka Vintage
Sweater, Pea coat, booties from H&M
Bag c/o South Moon Under

We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky

Wednesday Wishlist: Currently Coveting For Novemburrr

Hello lovely followers! I’ve been doing a lot of online shopping/browsing lately, which has created a lot of “want” within me, so I figured I’d share with you all the styles I’m currently coveting to update my closet for the impending colder temps and family holidays!

1. Flamingo Print Blouse because I LOVE flamingos, duh. And the sheer fabric poses the potential for my own flamingo (tattoo) to make a subtle appearance.

2.  Leatherette pants are edgy, practical, sexy, and warm…perfect for versatility!

3. Nicole Black Gold booties would go famously with those jeans, or any holiday look for some pizazz on the toes!

4. This Givenchy Inspired Sweater is too cool-slash-edgy to pass up!

5. I’m so excited for the window pane print to hit full swing come spring, but also LOVE that it’s popping up for the current season!

6. This Celine inspired fur trim bag is TO DIE FOR, and in an on-trend cobalt blue? BE MINE ALREADY.

7. 7 For All Mankind Jeans; the baroque print is festive and on-trend for a classy date night or holiday dinner.

What are YOU currently coveting for this month!?

We’ve Come Too Far To Give Up Who We Are

So let’s raise the bar and our cups to the stars
We’re up all night ’til the sun
We’re up all night to get some
We’re up all night for good fun
We’re up all night to get luckyI think I’ve found my summer jam; Daft Punk’s vibe to this song is SO FUN and Pharell’s voice is so smooth, and even though I’m no longer in my teenage years of frivolousness, I’m still up for staying out all night for sun and fun! Now, just add in these PERFECT tropical print jeans and the white oxfords and I’ve got quite a cozy and chic look for summer, dontcha think!? Also, why have I never had Joe’s Jeans before!? THEY ARE SO COMFY!
