summer crush

I'm not normally a hot-weather person, but I'm really getting into summer this year. Maybe it's because we have this great new backyard to play in. Maybe it's because our house is full of natural light. Whatever the reason, I'm loving this summer so far - and these products have helped get me there.

1 // This blouse. Breezy and beautiful, with the best colors ever, you can dress this shirt up or down. I personally prefer it with skinny white jeans and coral wedges.

2 // This fruit. Fruit is good, but frozen fruit is better, at least this time of year. I've been going through bags and bags of this stuff like a crazy crack addict. I suppose it could be worse?

3 // This perfume. I was really into it about ten years ago. Recently I caught a whiff of it in an outlet store and decided I needed some more. It was a good life decision. Beach please.

4 // These notecards. Y'all. I had the honor of meeting Writefully His's founder, a 25-year-old Spartanburg native, at my company's recent Women in Business luncheon where she was the keynote speaker. Her note cards are adorable (um, I want them all), but even better, 20 percent of her company's proceeds go to charities to purchase school supplies for children in Africa. Philanthropy + paper products = happy Emily.

5 // This nail polish. I bought this on a whim at Target (imagine that), and I'm in love. It's the perfect summer color - coral-pink, with a hint of gold shimmer. Now, to learn to paint my nails with my left hand...
