Etsy Dream Closet: The Rich Girl's Uniform

I'm a morning television junkie. While Good Morning America was my go-to staple for a while (call me, Josh Elliott ; ) I grow tired of their Dancing with the Stars promotional activites and Nancy Grace bitch sessions. Of late, the new CBS format with Charlie Rose is a little more my speed. As for NBC's Today Show,  I value your time too much to get myself started on that abomination.

Now you might be asking yourself, what do morning shows have to do with today's ultra-cool finds? GMA's Lara Spencer recently did a segment highlighting the "rich girl's uniform": white, camel and gold. I've never heard it called that before, but doggone it, she's right. So today, in honor of Lara's genius, toss on some wide leg white trousers, an oversized gold watch and some camel cashmere, and hitch a ride on the nearest Hinckley picnic boat you can find.

Apologies for the slow posting as of late. I'm 38 weeks pregnant, "in the window" as they say, and am finding it hard to motivate (or get out of the prone position for that matter). One benefit of spending so much time in and out of a hormone haze? The dreams! Last night I dreamt that I gave birth to Baby Bean, and he immediately began commenting on how unfair it was that Opie and Boo are indoor kitties. Thanks, kid.

More relevant to this blog, I dreamt that I was planning my wedding again and as a passed dessert we had gourmet boozy popsicles with custom sticks. Oh, the wild fantasies of a design lunatic. The sticks could be handwritten or laser engraved, perhaps with a pretty calligraphy quote  that reveals itself as the pop disappears. Beyond weddings, how fun/tortuous would a gender reveal party be with custom popsicles?! I digress.

So today, inspired by the Watermelon Mojito Popsicle featured on Endless Simmer, please consider indulging my little preggo fantasy at your next party. Oh look, Time Four Circle has some Rainbow Popsicle Sticks  just itching to be dipped.

If you are looking for an Etsy engraver, Phoenix Laser Engraving offers 100 Custom Popsicle Sticks  for $32.

French bikini. Greek Sandals. Aussie tunic. Today's finds take you around the world in five clicks. Like Wingnut chasing the endless summer, you too should catch (and hopefully not release) these perfect summer staples.

Here's how I see this going down. Me: Wearing a one-of-a-kind vintage bikini, gladiator sandals and a borderline translucent tunic with a couple of seed bracelets and remnants of a kabbalah fascination snaking their way up my wrist. I'm riding a forest green Schwinn Breeze, and have my giant straw clutch propped in a handlebar basket next to a San Pellegrino Aranciata and a fistful of Zinnia's. You: Mouth agape in envy. That should do it.
