Love, love, love this post. It's as if you somehow tapped into my psyche and concocted a list of everything that my heart currently desires. J'adore! :)
I wish Victoria's Secret was more affordable (considering it's not exactly well made stuff) but I would totally splurge on that goooooorgeous Trina Turk bikini! Yum!!!
Have a good one CC :)
J'adore your summer inspired collection.
I totally agree with Cammila.
Lohan was so gorgeous pre-cocaine addiction.
Then came the bleach blond hair, heavy makeup and skeletor body.
Ohhh that Missoni caftan! And love how you added books and mags, of course! XOXO
Have a fabulous weekend CC! XOXO
Mmm I love the cute bags and bikinis...And those photos are pretty lovely too! Hopefully we'll get some good weather to enjoy this sorta stuff!

I'm in love with the Fish bag at Plumo.com! Such a pretty print... xo

i would go for that victoria secret dress. secondly i wish i would practice harder to get that perfect body that makes everybody turn their heads after me.
i am also a big fan of handmade beach accessories like this one: http://www.4evershop.ro/ro/vestimentatie/alinutzafashion/512-1
i think that the fact that they are handmade and not made in series gives them a higher value and mekes them unique
Wonderfu, wonderfu, wonderful! I love bikinis and backless pieces! Adorable selection!
And yes, thank you for yesterday's comment, dear! Wish you amazing weekend,
FM~FP
