love*birds 7.20.11

ay yai yai! okay, people, you are here to talk me down. i am getting that urge that i get every time i grow my hair out and it gets to this annoying shoulder length point. you know what i mean, right? it doesn't quite fit in a ponytail, my bangs are out of control and i just feel like giving up and chopping it all off. and to top it off i just read two magazines...one featuring the gorgeous and short cropped ginnifer goodwin and the other showing off the adorable, pixied emma watson. it is all i can do to not walk into my bathroom and take the scissors to my own frizzy and out of control mane. okay. deep breaths. i will not do it. and i will not call my stylist, zoe, right this minute and demand a cut appointment asap. i have been here before and i will get through it. okay, perhaps i won't. i usually don't. but i have you to help me now, right? so, please, talk me out of it!

and now, the perfect distraction to get my mind off my hair (which may be my least favorite thing right now) are our favorite things this week...

nora bird's picks

sailboat shorts

yes. you saw correctly. adorable black shorts with tiny white sailboats all over them! and a scalloped hem! i had no idea i was looking for these, but now i have to have them!

crush sunglasses

i just found out about crush sunglasses from the adorable jessica. being a sunglasses addict myself, of course i had to check them out. apparently they have a lifetime warranty. amazing. plus, they are super cute and totally reasonably priced. i especially love these ones. sold!

ming dress

crisp white and navy blue are always a winning combo, in my opinion. throw in puff sleeves and a flower detail, all in one dress, and i am in love.

printed trousers

these printed trousers are chic, sophisticated and fun all at once. and they're on sale! i think that is a sign that i must have them.

qupid ankle boots

it may be silly of me to be thinking about fall shoes right now. but these are way too cute to not be thinking about!

megan bird's picks

heart hinge head

i have to have these. what an unexpected little way to add some fun to your house. they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, including sailboats, bunnies and this adorable heart. plus, they are affordable and oh so cute!

jeffrey campbell foxy striped espadrilles

here's what i see in my head...a crisp white halter dress, a huge floppy hat and these shoes. that's all you need for the perfect summer outfit!

custom made summer charm dress

we all have that super pretty vintage slip that we just wish we could wear as a dress, right? well look at this...it's like a gorgeous slip over a beautiful dress. why didn't i think of this?

lulu's tante mame dress

the front is cute enough, but it's the back that sold me.

modcloth pep in your step shorts

polka dots, shorts, shorts that look like a skirt...i'm in love!

happy wednesday, all. we hope your day is full of favorite things!

ps i think nora should cut her hair short...it would be so cute!
