Today I spent far too much time looking through Theoutnet.com, the new and more budget friendly sister to net-a-porter. It offers a wide range of discounted designer labels, so whether it's Marc or Chloé you're after, you'll find them there at 50-70% off! Though still a major splurge, it's nice to know these beautiful clothes are a teeny tiny bit closer to my closet.

My perfect melon colored belt is slowly making it's way into my closet and life from J.Crew by mail...Yay!

I love the gorgeous underwater photographs by Elena Kalis.
They're crystal clear and so refreshing to look at.

This week I'm in the mood for pretty belts. I'm kicking myself because I found the perfect one over one month ago at a vintage shop, it was the loveliest worn pink color, with a pretty gold flower shaped buckle...and I didn't buy it! Oh, how I kick myself sometimes...

The moral of this story is: when you see something unique and beautiful with a fair price attatched to it at a vintage shop, don't pass it up!

My two latest home tour crushes from Apartment Therapy!

I love Kim's bedroom update from Desire to Inspire. So pretty and fresh, and the shelves are perfect for magazine collections!

In love with the collection (and website) for label Whitley Kros. The designers use fictional character Whitley as their inspiration for their collections, and this season, Whitley is in love and going through a Bob Dylan phase.

Their website is also one of the funnest I've visited, with a killer soundtrack. I leave it open just to listen to the music. Love!

so far this summer I've been a sad, romantic girl who misses her lovely boyfriend, and counting down the days until I get to see him.
