mail haul

one thing you should know about me is that i LOVE snail mail. call me old fashioned, but i think that it's 100times more fun to receive a hand written note in the mail than a boring old e-mail. also, i have signed up for almost every single free fashion catalog that i can find. if you know of some rare ones, help a sista out! 

today i got the most fun things in the mail that i have gotten in a while. usually when i get the mail, i only have one good thing and sometimes i have nothing at all. but, today i got a few good things, and i thought i would share them with you! 

1. i got a my birch box of the month! i have been subscribed to birch box for about six months, and while it started out great i'm not too happy about it anymore! i feel like six months ago, they had products that i would actually want to try out, and now they have some cheapy-deapy ones. don't get me wrong though, only paying ten dollars a month for this box is totally worth it!! 

i forgot to take a picture of the blue thing, but it is a headband that is basically a piece of fabric with a wire hanger in the middle ... i spy a future diy

2. i used to think ll.bean was too much of a "mom store", but let me tell you this, it is not! this catalog was one that i ordered, just so i could have something in my mailbox with my name on it, but i have been pleasantly surprised to find more that one thing that i like in the catalog! ll.bean also has a lot of key pieces for you wardrobe!! here are my favorite looks from this season

the cover:

i'm in love with anything stripped so of course i love this dress! 

this look is too cute, and i love the seersucker! 

i'm a fan of white lace dressed, so i of course love this dress as well!
