can you smell it?  this magazine is just as delicious as a perfectly golden piece of toast.  or maybe my love for it has something to do with our beloved toaster? regardless, toast the catalog has me daydreaming of roadtrips and yearning for more.  from home goods to swimsuits, their luscious style reminds me of summer breezes and relaxing mornings.  flip through their catalogs or browse their summer collection, i can assure you you’ll leave inspired! needless to say, they’ve got me melting like warm butter over toast.

i’ve written about spool no. 72 before, and got all bubbly inside when this right-up-my-alley store announced their biannual sale! with some very ‘worth it’ markdowns, i think you’ll have fun browsing (unless you’re like me and have already spent too much this month.  david needs to hide. my. purse.).

Since the gardening season is upon us and I have gardening on the brain, I thought I would share some Garden Chic fashions. Now these goodies aren’t necessarily practical to wear while actually out in the garden (well, maybe those dungarees are), but man are they très garden chic. So, go play in the dirt for a bit, come inside & get cleaned up and then dress up and hit the town bragging about how awesome your garden is gonna be!

I’m sharing some more Garden Chic picks over on Indie Fixx, so head on over and take a look!
