First of all, I can’t thank you enough for all the book recommendations yesterday. The comment section is a gold mine if you’re looking for a summer read. And now I feel super ambitious and plan to read every single book mentioned if I haven’t read it already. I’ll report back on this goal by the summer of 2016.
Secondly, I forgot to mention yesterday that I have been on a bit of a clean out spree. So far I’ve cleaned out Caroline’s room and closet and her bathroom. My plans for this weekend include the playroom, the kitchen and the laundry room. I realize my ambition my frighten some of you.
Here are a few things I’ve seen this week.
Several of you commented about the striped tote I was carrying in the picture from Caroline’s graduation. It’s a Kate Spade bag that I bought on sale last summer and I have loved it. Unfortunately it’s sold out everywhere, but I thought this Dooney & Burke was maybe even better. I love the leather handles and it also comes in red and navy.
I also found this sole society oversize millie tote that’s a little less expensive, but equally cute.
And I think this topshop tile print tote is a really fun mix of black & white prints.
2. bmocha fringe crossbody bag
I’ve been seeing fringe cross body bags everywhere right now and I really like them. This one also comes in black, cobalt and white if you’re feeling brave and daring.
I saw these earrings at Nordstrom and think they’re really pretty and a great price. They also come in emerald, black, fuchsia, orange and white and they’d be the perfect pop of color to a summer outfit.
4. bangle bracelets (set of 20)
Speaking of pop of color, love these bangles. Great way to accessorize simple summer outfits. These come in black, teal, turquoise and white.
5. old navy crinkle-gauze drop-waist dress
Caroline and I ran in Old Navy yesterday and I saw this dress. I tried it on and really, really liked it but they didn’t have my right size. However I may order it online because it’s a great lightweight summer dress to just throw on with sandals and look super cute.
6. free people keep me v-neck tee
I believe I’ve mentioned these tees approximately 453 times but that’s how much I love them. I wear mine at least three times a week and they are on sale right now. This coral is my favorite. It’s much brighter in person.
Yes. It’s the Gap skirt again. I’ll quit talking about it now but I need you to know how much I love it. Listen to me now and believe me later, it’s the perfect skirt.
8. old navy vintage style v-neck tee
And this may be the perfect t-shirt to wear with the above skirt. They’re inexpensive and so soft, but I’d order a size larger than you normally wear.
9. radiant oasis embroidered tank
I thought this was really pretty.
10. natasha couture multistrand necklace
And yes I’ve shown this necklace before but now it’s 50% off and only $15.98. It appears to be sold out in the turquoise but I also really like this gold and silver. Would look great with a black top or really any other color.
That’s it for today.
Have a great Friday.
Loving everything this week! Going for the gap skirt! Also, the link for the old navy t-shirt just takes you back to the gap skirt. Have a great weekend!
Love your summer picks! Lightweight, comfy, pretty goodies!

Oh my; these Fashion Friday posts are starting to get expensive LOL. The exchange rate isn’t the greatest but the bag sure was!!!! Thank you for doing all of the hard work for us. Now if you could just find me some turquoise jewelry with silver rather than gold my life would be complete π . Sure do love you blog Melanie!
Loving the black and white striped bags. However, for us ladies ‘of a certain age’ most of the summer wear is a bit ‘young’. I’ve not worn sleeveless anything in years. In fact, the last time I wore something with capped sleeves my husband sweetly (not) said, “you’re NOT wearing that top are you?” When your upper arms take on the look of finely woven crepe de Chine it’s time to move to three-quarter length sleeves. Just sayin’. π Enjoy your blog.
I hope Perry notices that the final necklace on your list REALLY IS $15. π
I enjoy what you guys tend to be up too.
This sort of clever work and reporting! Keep up the
terrific works guys I’ve you guys to my personal blogroll.
The first purse is my FAVORITE! Which of course means it’s sold out π
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser
compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem
fixed soon. Many thanks
I for all time emailed this webpage post page to all my friends, as if like to read it afterward my contacts will
too.
