I want this necklace badly. The perfect accessory to add to that simple white tee or tank this summer. Done and done! 
Please excuse The Hulk...He was upset about his movie not doing so well...
From what I can tell, all of Yumi Kim's designs are made from this yummy soft silk and the patterns are bright, bold and fun. These designs are not for those bland at heart. Below are some of my favorite pieces from her Summer 2009 Collection (may I please have one of each).
I have been eying this Woori Paintbrush Top for quite some time, and it just went on sale across the street (uh-oh). I want to wear it with white pants to a outdoor eatery. Accessory of choice: glass of champagne.
I am still hesitant to think I call pull of the romper look, but I might just give this Nicole Romper a shot. Love the color, love the print and love that subtle ruching.
This dress screams "Hello Summer" to me. The Woori Dress in Green Pixie is just what that casual shindig you've been fretting about calls for. Light and airy with a fun ruffle to top it off. Love it!
Miami called, they want me to come back and visit wearing this hot fuchsia Juniper Natalie Dress. I am happy to oblige.
Going out for drinks with the girls or that special guy has never looked sassier than in this
Last but most definitely not least this purple Hydrangea Mandy Top can get your from work, to play in no time at all. The tiered layers are feminine and sexy at the same time. Now comes the REALLY good part. If you are loving Yumi's designs as much as I am, Lucky Magazine fashioned up one fabulous discount code to use at Yumi Kim. Just enter "luckybreaks8" at checkout to receive not 10, not 20, but rather 30% off you goods. It's just that easy. Yay!
A light refreshing wine to start the night off (an additional 3+ bottles were ordered after this one).
WSU girls reunited and it feels so good (until the departure)
I am gonna miss this girl!
I mean could they be any cuter?
Next In Line: Coldplay Concert @ The Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine
On our way to the concert in convertible Connie (yes we all name our cars).
Dinner to beat the crowds before the concert.
Bud Light makes any concert even better!A song with a special place in my heart. Yellow! The yellow balloons were filled with confetti. So cool!
The confetti finale was incredible!
Confetti aftermath. The show was the MOST incredible thing I have ever seen. Absolutely invigorating and exciting. Made me love Coldplay even more than before.
Last Night: Dinner at Sushi Roku followed by a ride on the Ferris Wheel on the Santa Monica Pier
Mrs. R and Me :)
It was a good tour and I am already looking forward to our next reunion in August, for the Del Mar Races. Lots of love to the two of them and their new adventures back east!
Happy Birthday to my fantastically awesome friend Michelle! (Sorry this is a day late as blogger did not schedule as requested) Glad you had a fun weekend and hope all your wishes come true!
The cotton was super soft and the zipper gave it a little flair from all the other tees around. Only problem was that $73 was a bit too much to be spending on a t-shirt. Which is why I was super excited this morning to find this...
True the zipper is vertical versus horizontal but for $9.80, who cares? I am picturing this tee with jean shorts, gladiator sandals and a straw fedora for that concert in the park. Funky and fresh - love it!
I had eyed these little suckers at the grocery store a few weeks back and was waiting to enjoy them with Mrs. R as she was the first to introduce me to salted caramel goodness.
{via} I think the ice cream is a better indulgence, because I can have just a spoonful here and there and be satisfied. Click here to find out where to buy it in your neck of the woods! You won't regret it!
Every summer I can not be without my American Apparel nylon tricut bikini bottoms. They come in an assortment of shades but get them in black and they will go with anything! They are great for actually swimming, playing on the sand and just laying out. I get my fashion fix by switching around with the top.
*What are you craving for summer 2009?
This summer I am craving produce straight outta my backyard dirt! So far just watermelons and tomatoes are planted, seeing if they will take. There is something so satisfying about seeing how much they grow each day. I hope I can sprinkle my summer meals with them soon.
*What is your essential summer song for 2009?
"Essential summer songs" and The Beach Boys go hand in hand. This summer my choice has got to be "Don't Worry Baby". Their harmonizing about carefree days puts me in such a relaxed beachy mood that I've been known to listen to this on repeat.
Thanks Holly for participating! I am also totally craving watermelon and wish that I had my room for my own garden. Alas the farmers market will have to do. And hand in hand indeed for The Beach Boys and summer.
I want to thank everyone who contributed to this little series, it wouldn't have been anything without you! Thank you also to all the readers who came back and read all the must haves and commented. I have built quite the nice summer playlist and found some new items that I need to pick up immediately before fall rolls in.
I'm gonna soak up some sun......
