Why Don't You...?

…style yourself in Alice + Olivia’s flowing Gina Bustier Goddess Dress and cannonball into a swimming pool? Float atop the surface of the water, allowing your fabulous frock to spread out around you in an ethereal fashion.

…pitch a tent and go camping in your very own backyard? Get cozy in Juicy Couture’s Terry Wide Leg Jumpsuit, eat gooey s’mores until you feel as if you’re going to burst, and spend the evening making shadow puppets by the dim glow of a flashlight!

…place a handbell beside your bed and ring it whenever you find yourself craving a sweet? Chances are someone will grow tired of the incessant ringing and bring you anything your heart desires.

…put on your KORS Michael Kors Violet Wedge Sandals and dance everywhere you go? Shimmy through the supermarket; box step at the bowling alley; moonwalk along the corridors of a museum. Dance to the beat of your own drum, darlings!

…set your iPod to shuffle, step out of your 7 For All Mankind Jane Espadrille Wedges, and hula hoop in the bright sunshine?


Fashionably yours!

  1. Michael Kors' sandals or espadrilles? That's the question! Love the bell ringing idea (but I have a hunch that everyone in my house will just put in my ear plugs and ignore my needs)

  9. HAha! A bell would drive my dogs crazy! But I may just go with the hula hoop idea...I saw some yesterday at the local grocery store...

    ReplyDelete
  10. Erika, I love your writing. It's so detailed and fun to read, I feel like I'm actually in my bed ringing a bell (or at least I wish I were). Those Michael Kors sandals would be perfect for my feet to dance through the supermarket!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Anything Alice + Olivia = winner. And those 7 wedges are darling -- perfect with a sundress. Time for me to go buy a hula hoop... Think anyone would notice me hula hooping on the quad?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Why oh why did you show me that stunning goddess dress now I NEED it in my life

    ReplyDelete
  23. I love the goddess dress. And there's something strangely appealing about jumping into a pool with a $400 dry clean only silk dress...I can't even explain what it is!

  31. I honestly used to go camping in my own backyard all the time when I was little. Just so much nicer to have a real bathroom and toilett and moms hot chocolate :)

  44. I could live in Juicy...literally!

    Love the "hand bell" idea...hey, your right, it would work (eventually :)).

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hi doll, oh I busted out laughing on the handbell bedside! I would soo do this! And think it's an excellent idea. I had an uncle once who did this to my grandmother when he stayed overnight at her house! He was crazy! xoxo

    ReplyDelete

    But I will just have to hula hoop in my stilettos

  51. oh I love those Michael Kor wedges! I'd put my ipod on shuffle but I have so much old music on there that I don't like anymore and I spend so much time pressing next next next haha

    ReplyDelete
  52. Haha, one time when I was sick and lost my voice, my parents gave me a bell to ring when I needed something, since I couldn't talk. When I rang it too much, they just stopped coming.

    ReplyDelete
  53. OH the camping in the backyard one is the best!! You are so creative to come up with these all the time, with perfect outfits too!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I was thinking of doing the Moonwalk inside the Museum :) I like the idea! Haha, but maybe the people from the surveillance room will make fun of me because they will think why is she doing the moonwalk?

    ReplyDelete

  57. I love camping in the backyard, ridiculously convinent and gives you still a sense of being :out their." Hula hooping in the sun sounds like a dream, if only I could have that sun to start with. One day I vow to truly do all these things.
