wouldn't it be fabulous to have...

personalized pencils?

i think i would feel so glamorous if someone asked if they could use a pen- and i pulled out a pencil with my name imprinted on it with a flourish.

i think mine would be tiffany blue with a gold or silver imprint... faaabuloussss...

for the long weekend...

it seems like summer is the time to read good books... more than any other time of year. was anyone else in a summer book club? we used to join one at the public library every year when i was a kid... you'd set a goal for a certain number of books to read and if you met your milestones you got free ice cream and carriage rides. awesome right?

well if you're looking for a good beach read (for 4th of july weekend perhaps?) here is a list of "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die."

personally, i don't believe in having lists of things to do before i die... so i am not regretful when that day comes (because i never finish my lists!). STILL- looks like there might be some good suggestions on this list.

i am currently reading:

trying to refresh my memory before the movie comes out! (and secretly... i never read the end because someone told me a sad spoiler... and i didn't want to experience it.)

i have been horrible lately.

completely unable to control myself and yield willpower against the beast we all know as... 'the summer sale.'

luckily- or unluckily? my hubby totally supported my addictions this week...

check out my bargains!
**sorry for the poor photo quality!**

$5 "gift wrapped ring" from jcrew- looks like a present bow, right?

$19 felix rey tote from target... seems a little marc jacobs esque to me... and a good laptop tote?

$24 pink chucks from tj maxx! i have always wanted a pair of chucks!


so now that i've busted my budget... have you found any treasures in summer sales?
