vintage, circa 2005

I have been in love with Mango ever since I saw my first store in Salzburg, Austria.   I love it ALMOST as much as H&M.  almost.

I found some great stuff for sale on their online shop!!   The site wouldn’t let me open individual items in new tabs so you will just have to go look around but here is the link to their sale page.

A lot of their stuff is in larger sizes and super discounted as well so make sure you get there quick!!

Ciao Ciao!  Happy Shopping.

My husband and I are taking an anniversary (lucky 13) trip to Maui in a few weeks.  We will be hiking, chilling on the beaches, going to great dinners, etc.  I would love a few outfits that would look great for our different activities.  This time of year makes finding warm weather clothes especially challenging. Any ideas you have would be great.

Thanks,
Julie

Hello!  I am loving your blog and was hoping you could help me.  My name is Lynette W. and I live in West Virginia. My dh and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary with a fall trip to Maine.  Our last couple only trip was 10 years ago, so this is a very special trip for us.  We will be doing everything from a windy boat cruise, to hiking along rocky shorelines, to eating in nice restaurants.  We are also going to be Bed and Breakfast hopping, so I want to pack light, if I can.  And I want to look, well, you know, HOT! Can you help me find some interchangeable pieces that will help me do that?  Pretty please?

Thank you!

Hello Ladies! How exciting! Both of you are soon going to be celebrating your anniversaries with a much deserved vacation! I put together the most basic things needed for a vacation. (In my opinion at least) I always pack at least one of each: pants, capris, shorts. That way I can have some variety and can choose depending on weather. One great thing about taking summer trips in fall… everything is on sale! I found you guys some awesome sale items at Jcrew that will be perfect for the beach, and walking along the rocky shoreline! Super cute swimsuits matched with a super cute cover up or linen pants and a cute tank are perfect for the sand! Also, Lynette, when it is windy you can pair your linen pants with a tee and a sweater. (Oh gosh, this makes me want to take a trip out to the Oregon Coast ASAP!) These sandals from Ocean Minded, make we want to die… I think they are SO cute! Enjoy your trips and congratulations on your anniversaries!

And for a night out on the town… our reader Catherine S. sent me a style board that she made for her 5th anniversary… Thanks Catherine! It came right in time for this anniversary post! If you would like to see where to purchase these items, please visit Catherine’s blog! THANKS!!!
