    This shirt!

    I’ve been eyeing up this backpack purse for a little while now. I just love that color.

    Pretzel pin!

    Oooof, what a dream collection piece!

    I’m just picturing these shelves covered in plants. It’s super affordable!

    Modcloth is having a huge sale right now. 30% off all dresses, including the ones already marked down!This is one of my favorites.

    Another favorite of mine! I feel like a million bucks in this dress. It’s great for twirling!!

    On the subject of super cute dresses, check out this wrap dress. It’s also available in long sleeves if that’s more your thing. It was a long winter, y‘all. I am so ready to wear dresses again.

    This lamp!!

    I love this locket, it even has a little heart inside.

    My goodness! Would you just look at this gorgeous mug!?

    I am very into these tapestries! There are butterfly and fungus ones too.

    Link love…

    • Because I’m all about great dresses this week – here’s another black and white polka dot one.
    • This entryway storage thing with mirror is adorable!
    • I don’t think I’m a white swimsuit kind of gal but if I were, I’d be all over this one. Honestly, that model is just really selling it for me. She’s so cuuuute.
    • The packaging for these sushi socks absolutely kills me! What a fun gift.
    • This is stupid expensive but y‘all, a candle in the shape of an egg that reveals a dinosaur as it melts!!!
    • I am LIVING for Boom Blush’s wedding dresses, especially this beauty.
    • Love love love this flowery bralette.
    • This set of undies is soooo cute!

    Last but not least, The Dainty Squid shop got a huge update earlier this week. Over fifty near items! I have so many favorites from this round of goodies but these bunny pouches definitely rank high.

    Also, SUSHI!

    Happy Friday! xoxo

    A few of my favorites from Modcloth’s dress sale!
