My birthday is later this month and I’ve been thinking about buying something from ban.do as a little gift to myself. Maybe the purple fascinator (no. 26), maybe something else. You really can’t go wrong with ban.do… everything there is lovely.

I’ve had the Forget Me Knot Ring on my wish list for months and months now, but I still haven’t bought one. I did however buy the cute little Powdered Milk Dress (with built-in slip, yay!) from Old Navy for $34. I’ll probably pair it up with red shoes and a distressed brown bag that I already own, similar to the Cupid’s Arrow Peep-Toes from Anthropologie and the Bitter Sweeter Satchel from Macy’s.

p.s. Have you noticed a trend yet in my style posts? All skirts and dresses. I don’t really include pants or jeans in my wardrobe, so I haven’t been including them here either.

My August style post is over at decor8 this month. Head on over to see my take on fanciful style!

It’s getting hot out. In the summer, I like throw on a dress, barely-there sandals, and interesting earrings. And I always carry a pair of sunglasses in my purse.
