I'd Rather be Shopping!

I've seen some beautiful days in Providence recently. Perfect, sunny, not too hot or humid days. Followed up quickly with a chilly wind to force us poor students back into the library. In exactly a week, I'll be back home with a dependable forecast of hot with a 100% chance of really, really hot. With that in mind, I can't help but gravitate toward shiny photos of cute summer necessities rather than focusing on my research on female saints in Byzantium. But with gems like these, can you blame me?!

 

Blowfish Casita Sandals, $49.50

I can totally see these with cute shorts and a flowy top, and I love the little wedge that would give me a nice height boost (and probably help my posture a bit too!)

Madden Girl Kloverr Wedges, $49.50

SO perfect for giving simple sundresses a little something extra!

 

Juicy Couture Heritage Aviator Sunglasses, $98

No, I will most definitely not shell out that much money for sunglasses...but I love the heart detail on the legs!

 

Stila Yumberry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain, $24

I just ran out of this, like, this morning. So sad! I'll definitely want another one for the summer...it's so much nicer than sticky gloss or heavy lipstick, and it smells amazing!

 

J. Crew Woven Straw Fedora, $39.50

So I'm not really 100% sure I pull off the whole fedora thing, but maybe with a simple straw one like this I could ease myself into the look.

 

Archie Grand notebook, $10

This just makes me happy. The color, the title, the possibilities for all those blank pages! 

Essie Nail Polish in Tangerine, $8

I think I'm really going to be feeling orange this summer...

Benefit Dallas Bronzer, $28
I'm not quite brave enough to try a full-on bronzer, so this blush/bronze combo would be a good place to start!

 

Boyfriend (To Go) Perfume, $35

In the absence of the real thing, haha. This smells so amazingly good...I spritzed a sample card at Sephora the other day and the inside of my purse still vaguely smells like it.
