the beach tote.

it's the freakin weekend!

i have beach, sand, and sun on my mind, so it only seems right ending the week with a casual beach outfit. my friends over at sisters marie sent me this cute beach bag. it reminds me of one i had years ago that i absolutely loved. it's both functional (holds all the beach essentials and more) and fashionable (love the colorful stripes).

the bag wanted all the attention, so i kept the outfit neutral but added oomph with visual texture (heathered tee) and physical texture (lace shorts). throw in some beachy waves, grab your sunglasses, and head to the water. see you there!

and with summer here, there are tons of makeup and beauty products to try...sunscreens, bronzers, protective hair sprays, tanning lotions, and summery nail polishes to name a few. enter the Ulta giveaway for a chance to win a $250 gift card.

what product would you like to try this summer?

currently craving: statements & boatnecks

last year, i was all about simplifying.

when it came to accessories, i traded chunky for dainty necklaces and rings, and simplified my arm candy. and while i still love dainty pieces, i'm kinda missing those bigger pieces.

in the past couple of weeks, as i've been going through my jewelry, i realized two things:

1) i have a void for big, colorful, bib necklaces...

and

2) i don't have the right necklines to show off those statement pieces...i've acquired a lot of collared shirts over the past year, and i've always preferred v-necks to other necklines.

i personally like when a statement necklace hangs partly over the neckline of your shirt. compared with crew necks and scoop necks, boatnecks are a nice compromise because it provides enough backdrop for these pieces while still showing some skin.

what are you currently craving?

in this set:

Vero Moda boatneck top, Apiece Apart boat neck long sleeve tee, Lauren Ralph Lauren stripe top, Oasis boatneck top, ONLY long sleeve top, T By Alexander Wang loose shirt, Humble Chic nickel free necklace, Multi strand necklace, Resin jewelry, Pink jewelry, Humble Chic statement necklace, FOSSIL cabochon necklace

patty's closet. the floral blouse.

i love the simplicity of jeans and a tee.

it's comfortable and practical for anyone who's on the go.

but on the occasion that you need a more polished look, swap out your cotton tee for a silk or chiffon tee. this bright blue blouse from Patty's Closet is the perfect example of a dressier "tee". i kept the flats for comfort, added a few key accessories, and layered a vest for depth. i could easily throw on a blazer and my red heels for an evening out.

check out their selection of printed tops.

f'real milkshakes

these shake machines hit gas station convenience stores recently, and according to mini-she, they're all the rage. so, we had to give it a try. there's always a line, and each shake takes 1 minute, 7 seconds. after you select your flavor from the refrigerators, this is what happens: see video clip.

oh, and they're good, but at a whopping 500+ calories,

they will be more of an exception than the norm.

do you have f'real shakes in your area?
