Simple Things...

a simple sandal

a simple make-up bag

a simple spring/summer dress

a simple set of notecards

a simple pair of studs

I really enjoyed doing this post.  Sometimes I get so caught up in all the details of a post and it all gets so complicated, then my brain shuts off.  My head has been so buried in my computer lately that I needed to do something simple.  The simple things always make you feel good. 

keep it simple!

I love almost anything leopard print, but lately I've been drawn to snakeskin print which seems to be the "it" print of the moment.  Snakeskin can be pretty pricey in it's genuine state, but there are a lot of faux snakeskin cuties to go around.  My finds are a good mix of both.

Are you feeling it?

Summer doesn't officially start until June 21st, but I am in a Summer state of mind.  Blue sky and the sun on my face...ooooweee! So lovely!  Summer brings long days, relaxing vacations, long strolls, alfresco dinners, and light & simple style.
