Happy Thursday, friends! Here's my list of a three things I've been loving this week...Also, don't forget to enter for your chance to win a print by Amanda Catherine Designs!

1. BaubleBar earrings...gorgeous! PLUS there's currently a 25% off friends and family sale going on! Use code: BBFAMILY

2. I've had my eye on these adorable Tory Burch flats for a while now. I have a black pair and couldn't love them more. If you're looking for a great flat, these shoes are your answer!

3. I treated myself to a Kate Spade purse this summer, so I think that it's high time I have a wallet to match! 

Tory Burch Holiday 2012

I received the Tory Burch Holiday 2012 lookbook in my inbox this morning, so I thought I'd share my three favorite looks! Seeing these winter hues has me in the mood to sip hot cocoa and hang holiday decorations...

Thursday Love List

Happy Thursday, friends! As I'm sure many of you know, last weekend Tory Burch had a 25% off sale. While browsing the site I ran across my first Love List item, a smart phone wristlet. I fell absolutely in love with the wristlet because it not only has a space for your phone and money, but also has slots for your credit cards as well! How handy is that? Now let me tell you, it took every ounce of strength for me to not break down and purchase that adorable accessory (and then some), but I'm currently on budget lock-down (more about this to come soon!) so alas, I'll have to live without it for now. Maybe I should start drawing up my Christmas list...

Since I haven't been able to take the Tory wristlet off my mind, I thought I'd share my three favorite wristlet finds this week for my Thursday Love List! Have a great day! 

1. Tory Burch Robinson Smart Phone 

2. Coach Leather Legacy Large Wristlet 

3. Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Wingman Wristlet

                                         

Thursday Love List

Happy Thursday, darlings! Here's my weekly Thursday Love List for your viewing pleasure.... Have a great day!

1. I know that it's a little late in the season to be loving a straw  Marc by Marc Jacobs tote...I blame my mother. She purchased this tote earlier in the summer and ever since I've been lusting over it. And of course, she's loving every second of my envy! 

2. I think these little Tory Burch studs are so cute! 

3.  Lately I've been leaning toward lip stains, but this smooth and shiny gloss has me changing direction...I received Stila lip glaze in my July Birchbox and am completely in love!

Summer Stripes

Happy Summer! In honor of the first day of this new season I've decided to share one of my favorite classic trends of summer...stripes! The striped items below are the perfect cool pieces for what is sure to be a hot summer. What's your favorite trend of the summer season?

Top/ Tote/ Bracelet/ Dress/ Swimwear/ Shoes/ Skirt

Summer Sandals

I love shoes, but hate wearing them. Seriously, how I used to wear and dance (gotta love show choir) in heels is beyond me! So, when summer comes around my toes get excited for the freedom that wearing a cute pair of sandals can bring!

Here are some adorable sandals that I’ve had my eye on this season! Do you have a favorite pair of summer sandals?

Top (L to R) Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Love Embroidered Thong Sandals, Sam Edelman Gigi T Strap Sandals

Case Cravings

Last September my amazing parents surprised me with an iPad2 as an early Christmas/traveling to South Africa present--to say I was completely shocked is an understatement!

As you can imagine I'm in love with this amazing gadget, but what I love just as much is dressing it up with a cute case!

I started with this adorable Kate Spade case and am still in love...

However, with the warmer temps outside I've been craving a more spring-like look! Here are a few charming options that I ran across in my search...

Top (L to R) Patterned DODOcase for J.Crew, Jimmy Choo Tyler glitter-finished iPad sleeve,
Kate Spade Fingers iPad Folio

       Bottom (L to R) MICHAEL Michael Kors Saffiano iPad Envelope, Tory Burch Robinson Flip E-Tablet Sleeve

I know you're wondering which case I went with... well, here it is!

                                                                               via 

I decided to go with this adorable Jess LC  gold and aqua case--isn't it cute?! I love the color, zip closure design, and love even more that is comes from Chicago (gotta support Midwest businesses!).

 How do you like to dress up your favorite piece of technology?

Toteable

There's nothing better than a great tote, am I right? Having the ability to toss my entire life into an adorable tote and head out for the day is one of the small things in life that I enjoy. My go-to is the Longchamp tote featured on the top left--it never fails me! What's favorite toteable piece?

Casual Friday

Happy Friday! This is my first day off in a couple of weeks (working in higher-ed student affairs can be very consuming--but I love it!) and I plan to take full advantage of it. Thus far my day has consisted of copious amounts of coffee and sweats, and this afternoon will be filled with shopping and a fresh haircut. Sounds like a great day, right?

In honor of a my day off, here is a casual Friday look that is similar to the one you'll catch me in this afternoon. Have a wonderful weekend!
