friday's fancies #35 + friday's letters.

friday's fancies #35: beachy chic.

with two beach-front bachelorette parties on the horizon [one of them being my own!], this week's dream outfit would be a perfect addition to my summer-time wardrobe. how chic is this 50s-esque swimsuit? i haven't worn a one-piece since i was a little kid, but i'd gladly try out the style if this suit was in my arsenal. while reading laura's blog the other day, i had the pleasure of discovering these beautiful, whimsical prada baroque shades. i think they give an additional nod toward the vintage feel of this look. this bright yellow, flowy, over-sized helmut lang string tank would be perfect to throw on when heading to & from my spot in the sand. bright red manicured toes would really pop against these classic valentino flip flops. as for sun protection, you'll always find a nice sunscreen in my beach bag. the floppy hat adds both style & protection - bonus! this little collection has me totally pumped up for the festivities to come!
dear wedding planning stress, i am about to start working with you, not against you. with a little over three months to go, we are going to have to work together to bring all of this together. dear apartments that we are touring on sunday, please be everything we want you to be. you look absolutely adorable, hold the promise of what looks like a great community, & seem to be everything we want. can't wait to see you in person, so i can stop stalking you on the internet. dear self, thank you so much for getting in gear, working out, & losing weight! you're finally starting to reach your goals! dear readers, i have gotten some of the very sweetest comments EVER in the past week. thank you for continuing to encourage me to pursue my dreams.

Good luck on the apartment search! I hope the place is everything you want and more. Don't be too stressed about wedding stuff... try to enjoy each moment because once you're a Mrs. you might get wedding blues... that's when you're sad because wedding planning is over. So enjoy it all now! Have a great weekend!

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
