Those Lazy, Crazy, Hazy Days Of Summer

I'll finish the Top Ten, never fear.

But in the meantime, I'm afraid I've been sick. Very sick.

Don't worry, it's actually a very common illness, and can actually affect up to 100% of the population around this time of year.

It's called SUMMERITIS.

I've been struck with a hopeless case.

Which is why, dear readers, I have taken the liberty to diverge from my allegedly daily series of the top ten beauty products to offer you a fantasy of the beachiest kind.

The following pictures illustrate precisely what I would wear if I were going to the beach tomorrow -- and if I had hundreds of dollars to blow on pretty clothes.

This is the "Stoop Sit Hat" from Anthropologie. I love the balance here of Southern Belle and total whimsy.

The "Epoch Blouse" from Anthropologie. This speaks for itself; there is not much to expound upon.

The "Apothecary Skirt" -- (Am I the ONLY one who thinks of Harry Potter when I hear the word 'apothecary?') -- I love how the colors play along so well with the blouse, yet they also clash oh - so - delicately.

Simple. Serviceable. Beautiful. The "Sprinkler Rush Sandals" from Anthropologie.
