Well, four things:
1. Caroline went with me yesterday and we relocated the tadpoles/baby frogs to the creek by our house. I agreed to let her keep one and she has big plans to set up a whole terrarium type thing. But I’ll take one frog in a terrarium over five hundred roaming free in our backyard.
2. I’m going to be in College Station this weekend and will be signing books at the LifeWay store on Harvey Road at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning, May 9th. I would love to see you there. Best of all, the book will be on sale for just $10.39.
3. Speaking of Nobody’s Cuter Than You, it’s still in stock right now on Amazon but I can’t guarantee that will last for long. So if you’re thinking about getting a copy for yourself or one of your friends or maybe as a gift for your favorite graduate, you may want to go ahead and do it sooner rather than later. You can find it here.
4. At some point I will compile yesterday’s comments into a handy list of book recommendations for summer. Stay tuned.
Okay, now for some cute things I found this week:
I tried this on in Anthropologie about two months ago and it is so soft and fits so great. But I decided to wait for it to go on sale and today is that day. It’s been marked down to $29.95 and is the perfect length to wear with leggings.
And I know that maybe it’s too hot to think about long sleeves, but we’ll be glad to have it next fall.
Updated to add that Anthropologie is offering 20% off everything today with the code XOXO at purchase.
2. y-necklace
This is a great, simple accessory to wear with all manner of outfits all summer long.
3. la marina embroidered mexican blouse
Last week I featured a sleeveless Mexican style embroidered top. I ordered that one and they also sent me one in this style and I may like it even better. It’s super soft and so pretty. A great thing to throw on with shorts.
4. bobeau ruched waist maxi skirt
This maxi skirt comes in a ton of colors and is on sale for $26.40 plus free shipping and free returns at Nordstrom.
I’ve been on the lookout for a pretty dress and this one definitely qualifies. I love all the colors and the style. Perfect to dress up or down.
When I spoke in Ozona a week or so ago, one of the girls had on this dress and I can’t even tell you how darling it is on. I kept looking at it all night and was delighted to see it at Anthropologie.
I think this would be the perfect swimsuit coverup.
I ran in Gap yesterday on a whim because I had a few minutes to kill before I picked Caroline up from school and I saw these shorts. I’m not sure what made me try them on because they have an elastic waistband and, also, pockets. Two things I try to avoid in shorts.
But I grabbed them as I walked in the dressing room and I think I love them. They are super soft, a great length and can be dressed up or down. Plus, all full price items at Gap are 30% off with code WARM at checkout.
However, you will never see me tuck something into them. EVER.
This is another thing that caught my eye. These linen tees are the perfect fit and actually look great with the shorts featured above. They come in a ton of great colors and are $29.99 but 30% off with code WARM or 40% off with code SUMMERFUN if you have a Gap card.
10. fit and flare printed dress
Yet, one more thing from Gap. I don’t need a dress like this, but if you’re looking for a great casual dress that is easy to throw on with a pair of sandals, this one is perfect. It comes in a few different patterns and colors and I tried it on and will tell you to size down in it which is always a bonus. There are limited sizes left online but my store had plenty actually in stock. It’s $69.95 but 30% off with code WARM or 40% off with code SUMMERFUN if you have a Gap card.
That’s it for today.
Have a great Friday.
