These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

The latest on my wishlist of things I'm currently coveting or recently purchased.

1. Michael Kors stainless steel watch

I absolutely love this thing! I just bought it last night (bye bye, paycheck) and it's so timeless yet modern. The chunky size and big face makes it a bit like a men's watch, but the classy Roman numerals and white face keep it feminine and fresh. I know it was expensive, but I'll definitely be wearing this for years to come so it was worth it. Michael has a bunch of other great watches, including a clear one that's a bit more trendy but still classic.

2. J.Crew neon gingham oxford and white chino shorts
My new favorite outfit by far. Neon is very of-the-moment, brightening up preppy basics like oxford shirts. The gingham lends a more whimsical feel to the shirt as well. The white shorts are the classic J.Crew 3" inseam ones that they have every summer, and I love them. I have them in three other solids and two prints, and they are a great-looking short.

3. Quatrefoil jewelry

I'm obsessed with anything quatrefoil-shaped lately. I have a pair of mother-of-pearl and sterling silver chandelier earrings with two quatrefoils and they have become my go-to earring this summer. I also just purchased a simple gold bracelet with a single diamond-studded quatrefoil in the center at T.J. Maxx for $20 and I haven't taken it off since.

4. Straw fedoras
I just got one of these from one of those cheap accessory stores in my local mall. I have yet to wear it, but I'm sure it'll be making it to the beach at least. They're another more trendy item, but with a sundress and wedges or an oxford and jeans they can add just the right amount of flair.

5. Lilly Pulitzer "Daphne" dress

This dress/print combo is SO adorable. The blues and white are crisp, and the shell- and anchor-adorned print is perfectly summery (and Delta Gamma-y). The beaded placket on the front adds sparkle, taking this dress from a daytime soiree to a nighttime party. This will definitely be my Nantucket Lilly purchase this year!
