Summer Wish List + Blog Award

Summer Wishlist items by shawnahynes featuring prada shades

Happy first of June! I haven't been shopping in approximately a month (this is border-line unheard of). So while I can't show you an outfit full of shiny new things, I can show you what I'm plotting for this Summer. I had quite a bit of fun compiling this set on Polyvore. With these items alone I could create about 20 different outfits (hence why things are organized a little haphazardly) - the sign of good investment pieces! 

The first items entering my wardrobe will most likely be the versatile staples: leopard print loafers, boyfriend jeans, & a lace/crochet dress (how beautiful is the Alice+Olivia one above?!). Apart from that a bit of neon here, a bit of fringe there.... and of course prints permeating every piece possible! Tragically the Missoni ruffled swimsuit & Acne blue pistol boots are sold out at the moment, but I'm optimistic about finding something similar. 

What pieces are you craving most this Summer? 

On one last note: Darling Sapana of Dreamy Sapna chose me for the 'Your blog is great' award last week! A huge thank you to her - it's so nice to be recognized for something I love doing! And to share the love, I'll be passing the award along to 5 blogs I've really enjoyed lately:

1. Wanderlust and Such

2. Island Life

3. Chemana Accessoires

4. Heart in the Clouds

5. Jade Ella

Have a great weekend everyone! <3

My 1st Blog Award

I always love receiving comments from LA-based blogger 'Dreaming en Francais'... so I can't tell you how happy I was yesterday to see that she chose me as one of 5 recipients of the Liebster Blog Award! Liebster in German (oh look it's almost like i'm studying! ;) means dearest, beloved, or favourite. Essentially this award is targeted toward blogs with under 200 followers, in order to bring attention to new & growing blogs.

The rules are pretty straight-forward:

1. Thank the person who shared this award with you

2. Link back to the blogger who awarded you

3. Copy & paste the blog award onto your blog

4. Spread the love by choosing your 5 blog picks

5. Let them know you chose them by leaving a comment on their blog

There are so many blogs I adore, & wish I could name them all; but in no particular order, these are 5 blogs which I read daily & would love to draw more attention to:

Top 5 Blog Picks:

Once again, a huge thank you to Dreaming en Francais - as well as all my other lovely readers who put a smile on my face each & every day. It's such a huge compliment to know what I'm writing & wearing doesn't go unnoticed. Thanks for all the love & feedback <3
