It's Thursday...

I've officially decided to dedicate Thursdays to lingerie and sexy stuff. It was hard to limit myself to just one day since my favorite store in THE ENTIRE WORLD is Victoria's Secret. Luckily there isn't one in my town of which my wallet is eternally grateful.

Of course, someday I will move so...

I am a big fan of this Gorgeous Blue Bra. It fairytale-esque designs and bright blue color is only surpassed by the fact that it is sparkly. I am positive that this shade of blue will look gorgeous with any color of hair, but the blonde in particular really shines.

I'm not a big corset fan. They are time consuming to get both on and off and seem to cover a lot more than necessary. But this Corset is just so dainty and sweet, and the shape looks both comfy and flattering. So maybe this could be an exception.

The model in this picture makes me a little uncomfortable...but I still adore this bright purple teddy. At first I wasn't a fan of the bow, but it's definitely growing on me. The lace and the color, though, are just so deliciously irresistible.

This may be my favorite piece of all. It is somehow both innocent and sexy at the same time. I love the conservative neckline paired with the sheer material in this Eyelet Embroidered Babydoll. The pattern, too, seems to wink at us, feigning innocence and tradition. It's simple, sweet, and naughty all at once.

Despite my personal habit to forgo heels unless they are absolutely inescapable, I think that these are the heels that could break me of my love of comfort. They are almost too delicate and perfect for going outside in...am I crazy for thinking of pairing them with lingerie for a sexy finish?

I Do Long to Be Beside the Seaside

Summer always brings in me a deep desire to spend these long hot days somewhere along the California coast. I'm not picky, anywhere from Carlsbad to Santa Monica to Eureka will do, as long as I'm near the water.

I'm not sure where this picture is from, it may not be California, but my love of water will take me to any little fisherman village. I love the tiny buildings on the dock. It makes me wish I could call this town home.

I'm a mountain girl, born and raised, so anything nautical or even vaguely beachy gets me looks of pity and raised eyebrows at the timberline.

So it appears my only course of action is to get myself to California, or scope out fun beachwear to fuel my day dreams.

Pinterest is my usual hunting ground. Unfortunately some (most?) pins don't actually link back to anything. But oh what I wouldn't give to know where this fabulous shirt is from.

I can just imagine myself running through the sand and splashing about in the water as my shirt camouflages with the ocean. And since I'm not in the mountains camouflage would be safe. I mean, it's not like someone is going to accidentally fish me...right?

And before a long day of playing in the California sun, what could be better than an early morning walk in the cool ocean air in my comfy blue button down. I love the little beachy restaurants in California, and I always try to pretend I'm local. 

Which never works since I am entirely too obsessed with any and everything ocean related. This truly lovely ombre dress seems to mimic the flow of the sea while still being a perfect light weight, breezy ensemble for a hot day. I love those heels too, green and blue are always a winning combination in my book.

Green on its own is not my favorite color, though. As a kid I always felt pressure for it to be, since green was pretty much the "cool" color. It wasn't too mainstream like blue or too aggressive like red. It wasn't too loopy like yellow or girly like pink. It was gender neutral and simultaneously the color of nature and the color of money. Whatever,  calm down green. No one likes a show off.

My weird childhood issues with green aside, I do love this fun and beachy bracelet. I'm a sucker for those multiple bands. I can just imagine it with a cute two-piece or some worn out sandals and a little sundress. And while wearing the word love on jewelry may be considered overdone and trite, who couldn't do with a little reminder? 

And speaking of jewelry, I found these incredibly gorgeous anchor earrings on pinterest. I would literally pair these little beauties with ANYTHING. They are the deadly combination of sparkly, nautical, and floral. Unfortunately I'm having trouble locating them...outside of pinterest. I'll keep working on it.

And after playing in the sun all day, the perfect evening commodity is this comfy striped sweater. Wonderfully loose and promising cool air cuddles and sunset walks along the beach.
