summer {wishlist}

These are all things that I would like to bless my closet at some point this summer - don't forget my birthday is coming up fairly soon (just a friendly reminder).  The lip color is especially to die for being that it is the J Crew fall 2012 signature color ... must have immediately!  And well, I must also admit that I have already purchased the skull cuff as it was calling my name across that great big expanse we have dubbed the internet and persuaded me to have a compulsive moment that I don't regret for one second.

MadeByGirl skull cuff, $20
OCP lip tar in Queen, $15

J Crew mint silk shirt, $98
Madewell flea market flares, $125
Zara studded clutch, $90
J crew silk cami, $88
Zara blazer, $100
Madewell sunglasses, $55

this is {the life}

This past weekend was the stuff that all weekends should be made of.  Friday night was a grand party celebrating C-note's fellow residents who had paid their dues and are moving on to real life.  Saturday consisted of lunch at Surf Bar* and an afternoon at the beach (I could have done without the gratuitous nipple shot from the woman chasing her toddler though).  Sunday we sojourned to a private beach only accessible by boat with some of our best friends (we are sad that some of our dearest and nearest friends will be leaving us so soon) for an entire day of relaxation sans any public nipple action.  We propped up our tent, ate cheesy poofs, and found out that they actually have ice cream boats that play that same music as the neighborhood ice cream truck.  The Ice Cream Float pulled right up to the beach and dished out ice cream bars - brilliant - even spongebob made an appearance.

* I am in the process of creating a Charleston Bucket List being that we only have 1 year left here.  I will also begin linking our bucket list to posts when we have marked something off.  I hope that making this public information will help us keep our pact to see and do these things before we have time to regret being lazy.

hue hoo {black}

I have to admit that I have never really had a love affair with the color black as some others do.  I know, I know, it is a neutral ... blah blah blah.  But for the longest time {mainly my 20's} I just couldn't find much use for black in my wardrobe.  However, over the past few weeks I have found myself becoming infatuated with black's uncanny ability to make other colors pop.  I was in the the frame of mind that black was too harsh but now I can see that it simply makes a statement of gratitude when paired with other seemingly innocuous colors.  There seems to be a new wardrobe staple for my 30's emerging from the abyss.
