Mr. Sun

The sun decided to grace us with its presence today, and we were blessed with a gorgeous day in La Jolla! Perfect inspiration for Spring/Summer shopping like bathing suits and nail polishes.  I love the pale pinks and purples that are so hot right now, but also the super bright coral pinks, neons, etc. At one point I had 6 different colors in my hand, all different versions of the aforementioned hues, all painfully similar. Making a decision was tricky, but in the end the price got the better of me and I dropped the Esses and went for Revlon "Lily."  Their "Top Speed Fast Dry" is exactly that, and I'm obsessed. No more waiting for an hour only to still smudge it and curse to myself every time I see the smudge/ding because I'm too lazy to fix it.  You can get them at CVS, probably Target.. and here.





I also need to start bolstering my swim suit selection.  That's always a one of my favorite purchases in the Spring-- a new suit to look forward to wearing all summer! Here are a few I've been eyeing...
J.Crew
Salinas
Vitamin A
L*Space
I've always really wanted a cute polka dot bikini, and the navy/white combo plus the super cute retro style on the J. Crew suit are exactly what I've been looking for! I also love brights and florals (who doesn't on a suit?). The fringe on this last suit is so fly, however maybe slightly impractical.

maps


I am obsessed with the idea of decoration with maps. My next apartment/bedroom with most definitely have maps of all kinds hanging on walls, and I plan on starting a collection of globes. This map wall decal is from Pottery Barn, and they also had some great displays at their stores. My budget will probably require a little bit more thrifting, so I plan on hitting up antique stores and ebay.  Here's some more inspiration...

lust

I don't have much to say, I think these hot little numbers pretty much speak for themselves. 
Oh yeah. I WANT THEM.
