Chiffon waves

Beachy and breezy, a nautical color pallet in a delicate chiffon, Cabi's yacht top is a great addition to the summer wardrobe.

I loved how the wind would catch the hem of the blouse and it would flutter around - there is something about a piece with movement that I am always drawn to.

Unfortunately the yacht top is sold out right now, but do check out the rest of the Arrivederci collection to see if something catches you eye.

Arrivederci primavera

Every time Cabi releases another collection, I'm convinced the pieces just keep getting better and better. The latest addition, Arrivederci is the summer collection, and the name is meant as a farewell to spring. While I'm in no way ready to bid spring arrivederci (please, half the time it still feels like winter!) I am all to eager to slip into these adorable floral print boxer shorts, which feature a comfortable shirred waist band. I decided to dress them up a bit this time, but soon enough they will be my constant companion for beach days.

I have a couple more pieces to share from the collection this week, so stay tuned!

Caught a light wind

A weekend gone in a breeze, and we are already half way through May! I'm happy to report my shopping ban has been going well; my wish list might be growing exponentially, but I've been good about keeping my wallet closed. 

Lately the weather can't seem to decide if it wants to be May or March, but I've been itching to start growing some herbs and tomatoes on my porch, so I headed to the garden center and picked out a few plants. The rows and rows of flowers were so tempting, and had me dreaming of the day I'll have my own yard to plant in. Not that I've got any sort of green thumb, but I can dream, right?

The last thing I needed to get my little 'garden' started was a nice big planter, and I thought that Home Goods would be the best place to find one. In the first true test of the shopping ban I had to get out of Home Goods with ONLY a planter. I got two. One for my tomatoes and basil, and one hanging one, so I can go back and get some of those flowers.
