Getting Ready For Summer

I can feel it -- summer is in the air!

More time outdoors and a great excuse to

do some shopping.

I got this nice berry-scented body lotion.

Plus nail polish in cool shades.

And here's my signature summer scent --

it takes me to the beach even if I'm far

away from the water.

I also got myself this sexy hat from a

street market in New York City.

I've worn it several times already

and sometimes, I feel it looks a little blah.

TADA! I added a brooch to spruce it up.

{It's a TADA! from the bag of scrap}

I think my hat looks more expensive than

what I spent for it ($10) and I think

I can wear it with a dress like this

from J. Crew:

Perfect for an outdoor wedding or

cocktails at the rooftop perhaps?
