♥…dig out the leftover silver tinsel from Christmas and weave it through your hair so that you sparkle wherever you go?♥…slide into Free People’s Chiffon Tiered Slip Dress, snatch Michael Tonello’s Bringing Home the Birkin from your bookshelf, and collapse under a shady tree for an afternoon of reading? As Mary Schmich once said, “Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.”
♥…accidentally on purpose forget to set your alarm clock and allow the morning light to awaken you?
♥…find a secluded, crystal-clear stream, kick off your Dolce Vita Noah Buckle Wedge Sandals, and lose track of time hopping from stepping stone to stepping stone, and skipping rocks?
♥…style yourself in Vix Swimwear’s Sun Ruffle Bikini and spend the day building sandcastles at the beach with a cute boy by your side?
Fashionably yours!

ReplyDeleteYou are so creative!!! ...and I want that girl's hair.
ReplyDeleteVery nice suggestions; especially to wear those wedges... and read a good book =)
ReplyDeleteLet me find stream and dance around. Oh, that is a lovely image for sure. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSuch excellent ideas. Now that girl has the most striking eyes and a lustrious head of hair - I adore the colour;-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty photo! Her hair and alabaster skin really pops.
ReplyDelete:)
Love that bikini and adoooooore building sand castles!

Love your ideas :) I definitely did set my alarm clock but then just let myself wake up whenever which was nice! And I want that bikini + building sandcastles to come true but it's raining today ... ahh wells. Hope you're having a great week so far!
ReplyDeleteLoved Bringing Home The Birkin - great book! I think I will find a stream and hop from stone to stone - could very well take some stress away - great ideas!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I love Vix bikinis. I take it you do too? Great minds think alike! x

Love the stepping stone idea. I love discovering natural beauties and then spending a lot of time there, doing nothing!
ReplyDeleteOooh, how I'd love to "forget" to set my alarm some mornings. Great suggestions, Erika!

Let's just say that I "accidentally on purpose" leave the alarm clock off every weekend! Can't exactly do that during the weekday, but the weekends are a whole different story :)
ReplyDeleteThese posts always make me smile and I love the idea of letting the morning sun wake me up instead of an alarm. That would be much better ;) The chiffon dress from Free People is really pretty and would be perfect for any summer day.
ReplyDeleteI’d also love to find a stream to hop around.
building sand-castles rather than studying sounds soo good right now!!

I want to read that book! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the idea of skipping stones. We do that every summer at the beach, walking along the shore looking for just the perfect stones, smooth, the right shape and size, and then the contest begins to see who gets the most skips. It's nice to have a morning of ease like that.
ReplyDeleteLove the chiffon Free People dress, it's just perfect!

Wow love that picture, her hair is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love waking up without an alarm! No matter how early it is I feel rested as it was my body's decision to wake up haha :)
ReplyDeleteAh, if only I could let the morning light wake me - I'm always up with the birds! :) x
ReplyDeleteMmmm... option #3 is SO tempting, but won't work during the week (work beckons, sigh)... and option #5 is a regular daydream of mine! :)
ReplyDeletexoxo J
I so wish I can do number 2:)
ReplyDeleteLove these ideas. I've been wearing such boring clothes lately that I am tempted to add some sparkle by wearing tinsel in my hair.

I want to do everything you just mentioned, sounds like SO much fun! Especially the cast part...in the dress!
ReplyDeleteThe tinsel idea is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis was really inspiring! I think it's nice to slow down a little and just relax and have fun.
ReplyDeleteI heart Jessica already but wow that is such a gorgeous picture of her! Great find. Also I do need a little silver tinsel in my life ;-) great suggestion!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds wounderful, especially the alram clock one! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDelete♡

ReplyDeleteI love the tinsil idea. Why didn't I think of that?
ReplyDeleteOoh building sun castles and reading under shady tree... sounds so perfect and lovely!
ReplyDeleteYes to tinsel in the hair, building sandcastles and reading under a tree!
ReplyDeleteOkay the tinsel in the hair is a must do. And I accidently on purpose forget to set my alarm on the weekends or when i have random days off... but i always end up waking up in the afternoon. shoot.
ReplyDeleteI would love for the morning light to wake me, school needs to be out....soon!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Loved Bringing Home The Birkin!! It was such a fun read!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous suggestions, as always! I'll have to keep the tinsel one in mind when Christmas rolls around. That's a really cute idea!
ReplyDeletelove the idea of tinsel in my hair and skipping in streams... the beauty of nature.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the beach and cute boy by my side, oh please!
ReplyDeletelove the tinsel idea!
ReplyDeletex
I have the same quote from Coco Chanel on my blog :) And love that you're bringing the fashion industry into the context of sandcastles, poetry reading and tinsel-strewn tresses. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteSun ruffle bikini and sandcastles...yes please!
ReplyDeleteThat tinsel idea, haha you're so cute and so eloquent- I actually was considering doing it :) And I wish I could slide into Free People's dress, so cuteeeeeeeeee! And I will say, I slept in late today on accident and the "morning light awoke me" 14 min before I had to leave... and I wish it had been as beautiful as portrayed in your amazing writing. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the picture, that girl is very beautiful! And the items and the stuff (what I wonder why I don't do it all the tim) are very lovely :D
ReplyDeletexoxo Sootjeelina <3
I love waking up to the sunlight! It's one of the nicest things about summer! :D
ReplyDeleteI have not woken up to an alarm clock for the longest time and I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWould you mind if I also added "conjuring up the nerve to transform my raven locks into a fiery redhead A La Ms. Stam" to your fabulous list of must-do's?? (A redhead with blue eyes, of course...)
ReplyDeleteif i accidently forgot to set the alarm, it would be the late afternoon light waking me!
ReplyDeletelove the wedges!
cute boy and the beach yes please!! And I might try the alarm one :) xx
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, talk about "eye-catching." Her eyes are hypnotic. And the idea of not waking up to an alarm is equally hypnotizing. Amazing post.
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
Rick
Love all your ideas & tinsel in my hair and no alarm clock would make my day. Wishing you a wonderful one, Erika! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful photo. My eyes are glued to it.
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas, esp. the tinsel idea - how fun!! xo, mel
ReplyDeleteErika, that pic makes me want to color my hair red again. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of that bikini and making sandcastles! That soudns like a lot of fun. It is funny that you mention tinsel, I used to have the long rope kind, and I would wear it around me like a scarf.
Such a cute bathing suit! thanks for sharing it

I think tinsel is an amazing embellishment. I would love to make a necklace or something out of it!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much need that Free People dress and those wedges! Perfect!
