wishes

There are certain things I wish for when it comes to retail.

For example, I wish that Apple would make clothing, because I think it would be both cute and sleek. Kind of like my adorable little MacBook. Sometimes, I think it's so nice looking, I wish I had a MacBook skirt.

Or that J.Crew would make some of their Crew Cuts items for their regular line. Can you really blame me for loving the Glow and Tell look?

One of my wishes has come true with the new clothing line for EmersonMade. I have had a major crush on their merchandise for a while now, and I always thought items like the Sunny Day clutch would translate very nicely into a dress.

And ta da! They have officially launched a clothing line, EM. The line is simple, feminine, and a little bit retro. And, of course, almost everything they have would look adorable with their poppy and dahlia pins too.

I've been the most negligent blogger ever lately. So much is happening here!

Until I'm ready to be better blog friend, a little something to pass the time...

Starting today, Corso Como shoes are up to 60% off at SWIRL. I'm really feeling these flats...

tea. let's get some

Since I was so excited about National Iced Tea Day, I think it's only appropriate that I give equal attention to Free Tea Day at McAlister's.

It's hot and sunny - the perfect summer day for an ice cold glass. And even though we're not Southerners, the sweet tea is just as good here. I promise.

chocolate gu

Even when I ran the Chicago Marathon, I just couldn't bring myself to eat Gu, or Hammer Gel, or any of those electrolyte-packed supplements. I can barely manage to drink water during a race, let alone attempt to swallow warm gel around mile 20.

And although I don't think I could eat a chocolate bar either, I'm intrigued by Bendetto Chocolates. The candies, which apparently legitimately taste like chocolate, are the most concentrated source of protein in the world. And, in case you're not one for chocolate, they come in lemon, caramel crunch, and mint as well.

After thinking about it, I've decided Bendetto should get with Gatorade and mix the Lemon Cubetti with the Lemon Lime Gatorade, and make a seriously powerful supplement packed with both protein and electrolytes.

Now that I could get down with.
