across the seven seas

Daria Werbowy photographed by Gregory White on a real-life sailing trip. Gorgeous. I would love to spend a summer like that, only I'm a bit afraid of the open water!

it's only rock 'n roll

Summer might have just began, but I can always use a little Wildfox Couture!

A few shots from their Fall 2011 campaign - very festival inspired.

gold mine

I go to Target at least once a week, if not more! I can't stay away from that place and it doesn't help that their store is so close by. Jeff and I have been awake since about 7 PM and wasn't feeling tired by the time morning rolled around so we decided to grab a quick breakfast and walk around Target. We picked up some ice cream, iced tea, beach towel, and this travel brush set I wanted to share with you guys!

It's by Sonia Kashuk, and I think it's a limited edition summer brush set of some sort. It came with this clutch to carry it in as well. The original price was $25 and it was on sale for $13, so I snatched it up. The wooden handles are really cute and summery! I think it was a funny coicidence that I decided to wash my makeup brushes this morning so I tried these ones as soon as I got home. I really like the pointed foundation/concealer brush; it's unlike any brush I have at the moment. Yay!

It's such a beautiful day out! But I'm going to take a nap for a couple hours before work~

life is a beach

On Sunday morning, Jeff and I drove down to Hampton Beach in the wee hours of the morning, which was pretty nice because there is usually mad traffic! We walked along the shore and laid in the sand reading magazines. I was hoping to tan a little but it was too breezy for me, so we ended up walked around the boardwalk shortly after. None of the restaurants were really open yet but Jeff bought me some shorts and a Hello Kitty beach towel and then we played some arcade games. As more people started to show up, more shops opened and we got some fried dough and slush puppies! We debated going back onto the beach, but it wasn't much warmer so we just decided to get some fresh seafood!

We went to Brown's, of course! Got the seafood platter with lobster and fresh steamers! It was delicious.

After eating, we decided to pick a random mall in New Hampshire to drive to and settled on Rockingham, which claimed to be the biggest mall in the state. Pretty good size, but it's just like any other mall! I bought a dress from H&M that I wanted a while ago and it was finally on sale for $20 from $40. And then I got sucked into buying some stuff from The Body Shop.

Good day, I'd say. We came home and passed out for hours considering we didn't sleep the night before!
