Oh So Lovely {Summer 2014 Essentials}

LovelyList-6.30.14

 

I love summer. Despite the high temps and awful humidity, I really love summer. While I’d love to claim the Prada Double as the bag I’m currently toting, I’ll admit it’s simply a lust. But I do have some essentials for looking chic while praying for a cool breeze.

1. Prade Double Bag – My current obsession, and essential wish.

2. Essie Haute in the Heat – The name alone makes it a must…the great color is simply a bonus!

3. Jo Malone – Earl Grey & Cucumber – A light and refined summer scent.

4. Tory Burch Fedora – Because I love a fedora and I love Tory Burch. Perfect combo.

5. Fresh Sugar Lip Polish – Nothing makes your lips feel as lux as this scrub, which has become part of my night time routine.

6. Birkenstocks – I know. I’m shocked, too. I’ve actually pinched myself a few times. The 80’s had a comeback, why not something from the 90’s?

Receiving a gift is always so exciting. Receiving a gift you truly love is simply heart touching. A dear friend was in New Orleans and found this dress and bought simply because she thought it “looked just like me.” I couldn’t agree more, and but I’m most thankful to have friends in my life who are so thoughtful. This little frock also makes me happy because it’s so ladylike, AND it makes me think of a wedding…cake, of course! Didn’t you see all the tiers of the dress. Ah, it really is a happy dress.

Dress: White House Black Market (gifted); Bag: Prada (also gifted from J for our 4th wedding anniversary); Shoes: Old Navy; Jewelry: Stella & Dot (old, similar here and here); Watch: Rolex; Sunglasses: Tiffany & Co.
