Oh hey summer, how nice of you to show up…it’s about damn time (we are half way through June after all). Now that it seems like we’ll have consistently warm weather (at least for the next week or so) I think it’s time we discuss summer essentials.
Some people are shoe addicts, others are bag addicts…I, however, am addicted to sunglasses. It’s something that started when I learned how to drive. I found myself heading to Nordstrom every weekend immediately following me passing my drivers test. Not sure what got into me (or how I passed that test in the first place) but it’s something that never left. Although that started with those awfully small oval sunglasses that no one remotely stylish has worn since 2004, it evolved into something more…
Besides swimwear, denim is one of my least favorite things to buy. Unless you have a perfectly proportionate body shape (but who does, really?), it’s not all that easy to buy in either of those two categories. But because I might wear a swimsuit 5 times a year and I wear some sort of denim almost on a daily, denim is today’s priority.
If you’re one of those people who just can’t wear low-rise, appreciate a bit of stretch and still want high quality and great style, then I suggest you hit that “read more” button.
Could it be more perfect that the Net-a-Porter sale started yesterday on my birthday? I just like to think they had me in mind when planning for this special day (and disregard the fact that everyone has sales after Memorial Day).
I love this time of year because spring merchandise goes on sale and living in Chicago, we’ve barely broken in our spring wardrobes. The last Net-a-Porter sale in December, I rounded up my favorite discounted designer items under $200 but I thought I’d take on more of a challenge for this one…
I think I’ve made it pretty clear that the only thing I love as much as fashion is food. It’s not the best combination because together I’m going to be One [Fat] Broke Girl but they make me happy so I guess that’s all that matters…right?
So I decided to put my two loves together for today’s post.
