♥…lock eyes with a handsome stranger? Who knows, by this time next week you could be having a clandestine tête-à-tête at a chichi café with the cutie in question.♥…perch a pretty tiara atop your head and scoot off to the corner store? Do not allow yourself to become flustered should someone question what you are the ruler of; simply give them a coquettish wink and proclaim…“my destiny!” It is, after all, the truth!
♥…save retail therapy for tomorrow and instead go berry picking? Discreetly stuff your mouth full of as many as you’d like, allowing the juices to stream down your face and stain your fingertips!
♥…dig out your old Baby-Sitters Club books, burrow under piles of blankets, and read them cover to cover via the illumination provided by a flashlight?
♥…play detective and solve your own fashion-inspired mystery? Investigate the bevy of Balmain booties at a blissful Beverly Hills boutique; examine the Erin Wasson X RVCA Give Me Rapture Sweater you’ve had your eye on for ages; sift through the selection of sass & bide stunners at the exclusive shop down the street. You’re not obligated to buy; but doing so would be the ultimate victory, Miss Super Sleuth!
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Tumblr for the picture.

ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to wear a tiara but you know how it is with my boys... I will be doomed for life. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday Erika! xoxo
Did you know that The Babysitter Club books, which are currently out of print, will begin to be republished later this year? It seems they'll have a whole new youth market for them again!
ReplyDeleteI really like the tiara idea - thanks
ReplyDeleteLOVE this. My grandparents had raspberry fields on their farm, and picking is one of my favorite things to do in the summer... And I will absolutely use this to inspire me to find a handsome stranger :)

the baby-sitters club..what fond memories...yummy boots too!
ReplyDeleteoooh, a tiara. I must get a tiara! :-)
ReplyDeletesome Balmain for me please;)
ReplyDelete1) Does not everyone wear a tiara all day, every day?
ReplyDelete2) I was ADDICTED to the babysitter club books. Ann M. Martin was a major reason to why I became a writer.
3)I've got a new one for your Why don't you: Why don't you create a waffle bar for supper--with every topping imagineable? PB, syrup, fruit, strawberries, blueberry syrup, caramel, ice cream, chocolate, butterscotch, M&Ms, skittles, fried chicken...whatever!
I am definitely going to lock eyes with a stranger. It'll be fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love berry picking!!
berry picking is my total fave! I want to learn how to make cobble with my fresh berries. That would be divine!
ReplyDeletethe tiara idea is adorable and berry picking is such a fun adventure!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pic!:)
ReplyDeleteas I am on the East Coast, why don't I take a ride down to DC and smell the cherry blossoms, and grab some crabcakes in Maryland along the way.
ReplyDeleteI think I will (thanks, Erika! :)
I love this post!
ReplyDeleteI totally broke out an old Babysitters' Club last year--hilarious!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my! Baby sitters club I use to collect them and had over 100 books, I just recently gave them all to my 10 year old cousin, passing on the tradition.
ReplyDeletei think i'll do all of these! great post as always!
ReplyDeleteBerry picking sounds awesome... it's gorgeous here today!!
ReplyDeleteOMG berry picking! I used to LOVE doing that when I was a little kid. I distinctly remember eating SO many unwashed berries one time I got sick hahah. Oh dear.
ReplyDeleteooooh locking eyes with a handsome stranger sounds SO perfect right now!
