On the List: Paper Goods

striped notepad/ thank you note/ gold monogram/ monogram notepad

I, like many other bloggers, have a list-making habit.
A while back, my grandmother gave me a bunch of hodge podge notepads that have come in handy, but are about to be completely used up! While my notepads will be gone, my listing obsession will not be. I've decided it would be worth it to spend a little extra money on a notepad if it looked super cute so I've picked my 2 faves. I'm currently leaning towards the blue & green stripes as of now. As for the stationary, I'm using these as more of inspiration for what I want mine to look like. Instead of paying way too much for a few cards, I plan to buy some cardstock and plain envelopes and personalize them myself with a monogram stamp or with self-taught calligraphy.
Anyone else into/getting into stationary and other paper goods?

On the List: Graphic Tees

dots/ umbrellas/ c'est la vie/ in bloom/ flower tank/ octopus/ smoky tank/ yosemite tank/ wanderful tank

I adore how casual but still chic graphic tees can make an outfit. Slap a colorful and cute design on a plain tee and voila! It goes with everything!
I recently purchase the In Bloom tee and the smoky the bear tee and love them both. I plan on buying the Yosemite tee as well. The tanks will be perfect for hiking in Yellowstone (I was told to pack for 90 degrees as well as 30 degrees #yikes). The In Bloom tee, I've found, goes with everything. Yellow skirt? Adorable. Red jeans? Perfect. You name it, this tee goes with it. Old Navy does it again and J.Crew's selection isn't looking half bad either. The only difference for me in my selection process is that Old Navy's prices are close to half what J.Crew charges. For a gal making less than minimum wage and buying most of her own clothes, that's a pretty sweet deal.
Have any of you discovered the amazing versatility of graphic tees yet?

On the List: Watches

navy/ dark brown strap/ pink face/ light brown strap/ gold/ shark watch/ double band/ pink and rose gold

Welcome, readers, to summer on TPF. During these precious months of no school and warm weather, my main focus (other than spending time outside, getting in shape, and relaxing) is coming up with new post features. This new feature, On the List, outlines what I'm shopping around for lately and/or what is at the top of my wish list. Lately, I've been loving how a bold and well-made watch looks on one's arm. The more subtle leather strap still gives an air of being put-together but is certainly more casual. The shark watch continues to be one of my favorite accessories because of its functionality. It may not be stylish, but I'd be lost without it.
My current favorites are the gold Marc Jacobs, the pink Fossil, and the light brown leather Fossil
What trends have you been watching lately? (see what I did there? the puns are endless)
