sara's f a v o r i t e things

well it's almost july... i really can't believe it. so to take a break from all of this poetry mumbo-jumbo that i've been posting, i decided to post my 5 absolute favorite things for the month of july. ENJOY!!!

1. OPI Summer Series Nail Color!!!

{spark de triomphe}

summer is the time of year to let your finger & toes free! so slip on some sandals & give OPI's new palette a try. since everyone knows that glitter is my favorite color, you aren't surprised to learn that "spark de triomphe" is my personal preference. but there are several genres to choose from, including a quad of designs by Katy Perry!

if you like this one, feel free to go to their website & try it on!

2. Hipstamatic app for iPhone 4

{digital photography never looked so analog- $1.99 on iTunes}

the hipstamatic application for iPhone 4 is not exactly new on the scene, but it's definitely making some serious waves. whether you're a serious photog or just goofing off with your friends, hipstamatic has an effect for you! just shake, point, click &- poof! you're a model.

here are a couple of my hipstamatic creations

3. Starbucks Free iTunes 10 Song Summer Mix

{buy a frappucino & get one of these bad boys}

what more is there to say? you buy a $5 coffee & get $10 worth of awesome music for free! everybody wins.

this is my favorite track off the playlist, but check it out yourself & see :)

4. Anthropologie's "Vibrant Afternoon Hammock"- $98

{comes in blue & red}

i really enjoy lounging in my backyard hammock during the summer! & these beautiful products from Anthropologie are much more stylish (not to mention less expensive!) than any hammock you would find at an outdoor store. a perfect addition to the patio for the 4th!

5. Marcie Medium Shoulder bag from Chloe

{there's nothing i love more in the summer than a pop of color! also comes in red.}

{available at Saks Fifth Avenue, $1650}

could you just die?!?! yeah, me too. this bag is obviously way too overpriced for my itty bitty, post-grad budget, but it's still wonderful to look at. i can just see myself jet-setting to st. lucia & sipping cocktails on the resort balcony with this bag in tow! *pipe dreams*

hope you find something in here to enjoy as well! have a safe Independence Day- & remember to wear sunscreen, lest you burn your beautiful skin.

love. sb
