Taigagirl you said you like funky accessories. I have found some good moderately priced bags at Shop Suey and a local boutique that has online website called Francesca's. Shop Suey sells "of the moment" knock off bags of generally good quality-- it's hit or miss and some of the bags can look a little bit played out and/or tacky. Francesca's has the same type bags; of course, you get what you pay for.

Francesca's is actually a little nicer.

I went shopping today and bought a couple of Frank Lyman dresses for work. I still need to get a couple of skirts, and some accessories. I really like the corals and turquoises this year. It seems to be hard finding nice linen stuff without paying through the nose thought....

There are some really cute accessories on here. I bought a coral dress (it's on the Frank Lyman website and also the ruffled sleeveless dress on the website but in a different print). Very pretty they will last me for a while.

I'm waiting for these to arrive!
Mystique Sandals 3874
Mystique Sandals 3907

And I can't wait to wear my Lilly Pulitzer Seamus dress! (http://www.thepinkdoormemphis.com/prodimg/R1087328.jpg - broken link)(although first I need to find a seamstress/tailor who can take it in because I've lost a bit of weight since I purchased it.)

Also waiting on a couple of dresses from Boston Proper:
Side-tie t-shirt dress*|*Boston Proper
Fabulous little black dress*|*Boston Proper

Received this maxi dress, but I need to exchange it for a smaller size:

Same deal with this sweater...it's too big, so I'm going to exchange it for a smaller size:

Other things on my list:
*white jeans (straight legs & skinnys)
*dress shorts
*more dresses!

I love skirts and dresses in the spring and summertime.

- Boden has some cute colorful dresses (and some come in black or neutral colors, too if that's more your thing).

- I really love the quality of Garnet Hill clothing, and they have cute spring and summertime stuff as well.

- I buy an April Cornell piece (dress, skirt, or tunic) almost every spring. Really good quality and really beautiful.

All I really want this summer is a nice pair of comfortable sandals. I have so much clothes that I'll probably skip the shopping this year.
