Samantha needs a new iPhone cover.

Let’s help her out, shall we?  I know literally the first thing I did when I got my iPhone for graduation, even before I got it activated, was run to Lilly Pulitzer for this baby:

Totes Presh

While I can certainly appreciate the value of a good Tory Burch clutch, sometimes I just need something a little more practical and easy on the wallet.  And with summer coming up, I can’t help but get excited about the perfect carryall: oversized tote bags.  Durable, endless pits, they are the best for beach days.  And at these prices, I just can’t resist.  Many of these finds also donate proceeds to charity 🙂

PROM

No, I’m not going.  I may look young but believe it or not I am past this time in my life.  BUT my little brother is going to his senior prom this weekend!  One thing I miss about high school is all of the excuses I had to dress shop.  I couldn’t resist keeping my eye open on some semi-formal/formal styles this month, with all of the prom glory in the air.  So just in case you do have an event to attend, here are some of my favorites.  And sorry, but I’ve just always been bias to short dresses– even at prom (see below for the short full skirt–we called it the cupcake dress)!

Metallic Paisley & Tulle Dress, Forever 21, $34.80

Tiernan Dress Printed, Lilly Pulitzer, $298

Halter Dress, Juicy Couture, $198

Conscious Collection Chiffon Dress, H&M, $49.95

Evening Southern Lights Strapless Dress, Betsey Johnson, $398

And the belle of the ball, the dress I’ve wanted for so long:
