Summer Reading List

Even though my trip was packed with work, being in Miami felt a little like summer vacation [especially once my bare feet hit the sand]. Gone are the days of spending every morning & afternoon at the pool, but I can still make a summer reading list [in this case, a summer reading lust list since these are a little pricier than paperback]. 

Remember those lists you'd get from your teachers of books from which to choose? I'd be more than happy to write a book report on any one of these Book of the Month Clutches. Kate Spade can school me any day.

Back In Black

 Now that they're offering it in black, I officially want a Wii. It'd be a sleek way to stream my never-ending Netflix queue (next up on the list: The September Issue!).

Stuck on Stripes

Couldn't resist rounding out the week with one last ode to the gray & white stripe combo especially once I remembered spotting this cotton percale sheet set from West Elm a few weeks ago. If the previously mentioned bench gets ousted, I can definitely rationalize this stripe substitute; we are in need of new sheets & pillowcases (& these are simply sublime!).

Cinco de [Oh My!] o

So I am finally back from my longest overseas stint to date (about 3.5 weeks!). Time away gives one an opportunity to reflect on all of the things that matter most. Being back home after so long to enjoy said things is the best feeling. While I wasn't working, I was establishing some leads for more wedding vendors, establishing our wedding registries, & daydreaming about our first place.

Found this Dwell Upholstered Storage Bench in my blog reader thanks to a great Layers of Meaning, as per usual. I want, I need, I lust for this bench to be at the end of our bed in an apartment/condo/house that we have yet to find. John didn't share my same enthusiasm (a new TV is at the top of his list), so I may have to make this purchase happen pre-wedding. For now, it will simply end up in one of many inspiration folders.
