summer style dreaming

summer is king in the oc and i am so excited to pick out my outfits so i can hit up the beach or (window) shop around Laguna Beach...

that said, i have to make sure i stay on "budget" (since i spend all my money on my wardrobe and food). however, a girl can always default to her dream wardrobe - that special imaginary place that holds all the pretty things of her clothing-fantasies...

here are some new additions to my dream wardrobe:

~
nice shopper for beach-side adventuring




~
i am such a sucker for wood wedges and the pop of color puts me over the edge...




~
some excellent sunglasses

Kate Spade Domins Cat Eye Sunglasses - $86.31 (rose gold style) on Amazon.com



~
just gorgeous...




~
i need this bathing suit top! this could easily be paired with a white bottom




~
so, so sweet...




~
great pops of color




~
loving the mix of textures on these bad boys:




~
this just screams "pass me that margarita!"




~
the hardness of this piece would be perfectly paired with a feminine dress



~
some fun evening heels - love the band across the center of the foot!





share with me what's hot on your list for summer fashion in the comments below.. there's always room for more stuff on my wish list so give me your ideas!
