Summer Goodies

So I've been shopping. A lot. I mean, what else are you supposed to do on vacation? Specifically, I've been on the hunt for great summer dresses, especially maxi dresses, which I plan to live in all summer long. As a result, you may be subject to multiple posts of the same dresses with various permutations of accessories...

Here's a sneak peek at a few of the items that are on their way to me:

And I'm sorry I've gotten behind on posting this week. I don't really have any excuse except that words have just not been abundant. I can barely even get a sentence down before I start to cringe at the typeface. I seem to be collecting outfit pictures, however, so I best get to work! Maybe I'll start by changing the typeface...

  2. Jessica, I found your blog last month and you've become my favorite blogger, ever. You are like my style twin, but better. I just picked up some sandals and thought you might like them too. They're from the Christian Siriano line at Payless, "La Bonita". :)

  3. thank you so much!!! and i have indeed been eyeing those sandals, esp. the teal. which color did you get?

  4. i'm looking forward to that dress too! it may be a tad risky for a print, but i'm hoping all that symmetry has slimming powers. i also love that it has sleeves - so rare for maxis!

  5. No problem! :) The teal caught my eye first but I ended up buying both colors. The natural color will go with so many things. They're actually really comfortable! I hope you get the real ones. They're on sale :)

  8. Great! I hope you bought the teal ones! Also, for some reason I can't follow your link to the sassy blue sandals, can you re-post? I'd love to see them!

  9. oops! well, i fixed the link above, but here it is in full: http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?productId=71896&lotId=098439&width=098439110,11.0,Regular&catId=cat10088&_requestid=703568 


    unfortunately, i tried these on in the store, and they're not the most flattering sandal. this is a bummer since i was sure I'd finally found a great blue sandal (for cheap!) but, my store DID have the christian siriano sandals in the nude color, and I got them! thanks for the suggestion!

  10. I'm sorry to hear that-- the blue sandal looked pretty good online.  But I'm happy you got the nude colored sandals and I'll keep an eye out for blue sandals for you!
