So it’s totally been an eternity since I’ve done a “Lemon Loving” post! I’m getting on this like a runaway train.

I did something kinda silly the other day and bought a bathrobe. It is a light stretchy material and has an awesome damask pattern on it. I feel totally fabulous when I wear it around the house, and it’s a great alternative to a heavy sweater when I get a little chilly when the sun goes down.

I’m not going to lie, today I wore pigtails and I love them so much! They’re cute and fun and unique, since not a lot of ladies wear their hair like this anymore. I’m also a big fan of wearing my hair in two low buns. (But not quite the Leia look! I’m not that nerdy, I swear!)

Shorts! This is going to sound totally dumb, but as a semi-plus sized lady I’ve been rather terrified of showing off my legs for the last few years. This has resulted in legs the colour of computer paper (not even kidding here) and being overwhelmingly hot all summer. This year I’ve already purchased 2 pairs of shorts in the hopes of curing this fear. I love them, and it’s incredibly freeing to walk around all day in a different look than jeans.

Saturday Jane’s dance post!
I’m not even kidding when I say that this is the cutest blog post you’ll ever read. Jessica is extremely excited for her new apartment and had to share it with the world in the best way she knows how!

I’m generally a red-lipstick girl (L’Oreal’s British Red Coat lipstick, to be exact) but with the sunshiney weather (and my slight-freckle-tan) I’ve broken out my deep and light coloured pinks to much success! Like everything, it’s nice for a change, and it’s nice to experiment with new colours. A light peach colour or light pink lip can really dress up any look, and is just a nice way to start out a day.

I grew up with a batch of raspberries in my backyard, so I get extremely nostalgic an excited as soon as I see raspberries in stores and have my “first summer raspberry”. I love them so, I’ll eat an entire flat if nobody’s looking! I’m excited for the full array of berry-covered goodies that are coming in the next month. Mmmm berries!
Unruly things has a few lovely photos of berries, if you want to drool all over your computer.

I know I just said that I bought a bathrobe so that I wouldn’t have to break out my sweater whenever I get cold (which is about every five minutes) but I found this sweater at Ross for $7 and it is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever purchased. It’s houndstooth pink and gray, and the collar is soft and flexible so I can look like a smart businesswoman, or a air-hostess from the 60’s. It is FABULOUS and I’m kind of sad that it’s too hot right now to wear it, because I want to show it off!

These clear plastic boots from this post have got me droolin’. Just think of all the exciting looks you could pull off with these… coloured tights, cool socks, the possibilities are endless! It’d be like owning 10 different pairs of boots in one! I would promise not to wear my fuzzy cat socks with them, even. They’re that cool.
