Aside from wanting every.single.thing from Bailey’s new bedding roll out (my bed is gearing up for some Jenny Shams and maybe some Katie Sheets in a new color-way?  The sheets are unbelievable, trust me, I’ve slept in them), I’ve got my eye on a whole lot of greatness this week.  A few of these things I have been thinking about alll week long after seeing them while out and about in Austin last weekend.  I came this close to making the Pucci coffee table book mine, and have definitely moved it to the top of my book list.  I try to purchase new coffee table books every so often in order to build a collection.  It has been so much fun to do.  We also saw these Givenchy Jelly Gladiators in Austin and they are beyond.  Ever since Molly told me about Coach’s handbags in the pale pink, I can’t get the thought of owning one out of my brain.  I think this is definitely my favorite style.  With a fun trip to Houston in a few weeks to go to a music festival, I have been pinning all of my favorite festie looks here.  Potpourri-printed All Stars (sidenote: the shoes can be personalized with initials – I see a sister purchase) are definitely a necessity for the occasion!  Those and a great neon, embroidered tunic like this one.  Molly, who is not one to appreciate anything monogrammed, even fell for this teeny tiny monogram necklace.  Definitely adding it to my birthday list for this summer:)  I honestly don’t do a whole lot of yoga and when I do, my gym provides the mats, but I feel completely compelled to buy this yoga mat just because I have never in my life seen anything quite so cool.  Have a yoga-loving friend with a birthday coming up?  You HAVE to get her this.  Done and done.

Words cannot describe how happy I am that tomorrow is Friday or how excited I am for this weekend.  Lots of fun things planned with the sister including our Makeup Forever event (favorite new obsession! dying to try this) and Bradley’s long-awaited wedding.  Eeeek!!

Lottsss of good finds this week, friends!  This is going to be short and sweet because its been one crazy Wednesday.  Crazy week, actually.  Molly and I have an even crazier weekend ahead of us.  I have to say, I think I am going to be glad when things slow down a little bit.  We were talking last night about how excited we our for our family beach vacation that is coming up in less than a month.  It will be so nice to just unplug and do nothing all day long.  I have been eying West Elm’s beach towels for weeks now and I really think that its about time I buy one now that they’re on sale.  They’re so classic, and with our trip and our apartment pool, we can always use a few more around our place.  I love the idea of monogramming it and giving it as a gift, too!  Both Molly and I were talking the other day about how this one pair of Tory Burch sandals that we both have and bought years ago have literally held up like brand new over the years.  It definitely makes me want to invest in another pair.  Knowing that something will last makes all the difference.  These come in the best colors, I don’t know how I would choose.  I think I am partial to the blue?  A great neutral, yet still fun.  If you’re in need of a pair of loafers, Dolce Vita’s Luna pair also comes in great colors and they’re a steal.  Just wheelin’ and dealin’ over here guys.  Nothing screams summer quite like eyelet, right?  Love the blue in this J.Crew top to pair with white jeans!  I’ve been wanting these striped shorts from ASOS from a long time coming now and I think its about time I make them mine?  So versatile and I live in shorts in the summer.  Top the shorts off with a wrap sweater and you’re set for this time of year:)  How about that insane sale going on at Barneys Warehouse?  I kind of had to stop myself from looking – the prices are just that good.  So many pretty handbags.  Molly and I both have been wanting one of these A. Wang clutches!

Hope you’re all having a happy Wednesday!  And thank you SO much for the tips on my TMI post yesterday.  Its good to know that I’m not alone in my weirdness/grossness (?).  I’ve decided to stick it out with my Kai and keep it in my purse during the day in the event that I need a little added freshness:)

Sooo…I have this running joke with Molly every time we are traveling and in an airport together that I am going to buy one of those outrageously overpriced neck pillows that they sell in the airport.  I actually have one that’s super cute and pink that I used when I traveled to Italy but somehow it got lost in the shuffle of moving in college, and I definitely do miss it – airplanes are a death sentence to the neck.  I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw that Kate Spade Saturday has an airplane essentials kit in a classicly cool black and white stripe.  This takes the neck pillow to a whole new level and one that I could totally jump on board.  Its no secret that python everything is my best friend, so I had to share when I found the perfect python flat sandal.  I’m not kidding when I say that I probably wear my flat python sandals that I got at Cole Haan a few years ago all. the. time.  The wedges are pretty freaking good too.  It makes for a great neutral and goes with everything.  Madewell’s Embroidered Botanica top isn’t something that I would normally go for, but I was instantly drawn to it when I saw it.  I am picturing wearing it with white shorts and jeans all summer long.  I have yet to find a pair of denim shorts that I love (does anyone else think its hard to find a good fit in these guys?), but these stars would make for the ideal Memorial Day and Fourth of July outfit, no?  Especially with Club Monaco’s Rhonda sweater (strange name for a sweater???).  I love a good short sleeved sweater.  I’ve already purchased one J.Crew swimsuit this season (this one), but I can’t help but love the colors in this one – wondering how that top would fit – anyone tried it??  Their swimsuits are always a go-to for both Molly and me each summer.  A fun new coffee table book is always on the list – I’m really trying to grow my collection as much as I can, and a few red accessories to ease the bold color into my world.  So. Many. Good. Finds.
