Fringe Bikini Tops

I have fallen in love with fringe bikini tops. They are so cute and add a certain chicness to a bikini. So far I have bought two, a white one and a black one and will be switching them out with different bottoms. I love that concept because it will look like a whole new bikini. If you have yet to see one or buy one, I highly recommend you purchase one. 

The ones below are from L*Space and they fit perfectly.

Learning to Cook

It is no secret that I am not the best cook out there. I have been trying to learn lately because I know my boyfriend would appreciate a home cooked meal once in a while instead of take out or him cooking for me. I have some basics down now, so I thought it was time to buy a cookbook or two or three, well ok four, but they are all different, so that justifies it.  I am so excited for them to arrive and try them out, especially the Paula Dean Southern Cooking Bible.

3. It's All Good by Gwyneth Paltrow

The Memorial Day Outfit

I think I have managed to come up with an incredible outfit for Memorial Day. I don't own any of the pieces shown below, but I do feel that every piece is appropriate for Monday. I do hope to get my hands on the beautiful Steven Alan dress (hopefully for July 4th), which is coming up soon. I still have no idea what I will be doing or wearing for Memorial Day, but will share with a blog post.

The Perfect Neon Accessory

I have always been a big fan of BCBGMAXAZRIA. Their clothing to accessories is nothing less than amazing. Recently, I discovered the mini harlow wristlet and I am in LOVE. It comes in 3 pretty neon colors and I want all 3. Wouldn't you say that this is the perfect neon accessory?

J. Crew's creative director Jenna Lyons is a fabulous fashionista. I love how she mixes prints and makes any outfit look amazing. She is one true inspiration.

Sam & Libby for Target

If you are a Sam Edelman lover, there is amazing news! Sam Edelman will be relaunching the Sam & Libby line for Target! I was very excited to hear about that, because I remember wearing that line when I was younger. This collection has recently hit stores earlier this month and finally checked the shoes out today and I loved them. There are a few pairs that I must have and will have.

Have any of you purchased any shoes from this line yet?

Stella and Dot Must Haves

Stella and Dot is one of my favorite lines. Their jewelry and accessories are so cute and original. I have been eyeing a lot lately and trust me, you will be seeing me wearing a lot of it in upcoming posts.

Hopefully I'll get my hands on a set or two or ALL of them.
