Does anyone else find window shopping just as fun as regular shopping? As nice as it is to buy things, sometimes I just like to look, see what’s out there, and scope out the good deals. I also feel like window shopping helps me refine my taste and style, so that when I do make a purchase, it’s a more researched and educated one.
In the spirit of window shopping, I put together my summer wishlist of shoes, purses, jewelry and dresses. I’d love to buy all these items, but since money doesn’t grow on trees, I’ll admire most from afar.
Shoes
Shoes and I are having a moment. Growing up, I was never a shoe person, but lately I can’t get enough of them. I think it’s because when I feel uncomfortable fitting and dressing the rest of my body, I can find reassurance in shoes always fitting and looking cute.
Purses
I’ve been eyeing crazy prints and patterned bags lately. Maybe because all my bags are plain leather. Maybe because I’m purse obsessed. Maybe because they’re just super cute. Regardless of the reason, I love these!
Jewelry
I love a mix of delicate, whimsical, and colorful jewelry. These all fit the bill.
Dresses
If I could I would live in dresses. I always feel so feminine and most like myself in dresses. These four are stunning and perfect for summer adventures.
Questions of the Day: Do you enjoy window shopping? Do you prefer window shopping online or in store? Did any of these items catch your eye?
LOVE that first necklace!
Isn’t it pretty! I love a beautiful necklace.
I would love to own all of the the above! I really love shoe #2 and purse #3!
You and me both!! 😀

You and me both girlfriend!! If only money did grow on trees! 😀
I’m a total window shopper! I would love to buy everything I want, but sadly don’t have that kind of money. Who does, right?? Great picks!
Thanks Maureen! I know, it would be so nice if money did grow on trees!
I love posts like this, except it makes me want to buy everything! Especially loving the Kendra Scott necklace and the dark blue dress. SO adorable!
Aren’t they adorable? I love them both!
I always go with the intentions of “window shopping”, but somehow things magically end up in my cart!
I find that happens to me too sometimes! haha
I love the colors in dress #1! It is perfect for Summer!
It is so beautiful! Now I’m just waiting for it to go on sale!
I enjoy online window shopping! I loved #3 purse, #4 dress, #3 necklace & #5 sandals! 🙂
I love them all! So beautiful!
I love this wishlist! Such great summery pieces that can be brought easily into fall.

Thanks Allie! Yes, I love how versatile they are!
That blue off-the-shoulder tunic looks so comfortable. That would be perfect for wearing as a swimsuit cover-up that could transition into an evening outfit. I also love all the sandals! I love in sandals during the summer… =)
Yes! I want to go on a vacation and take that blue tunic! Ahh somewhere warm and coastal!
So many great picks!
Thanks Rachel!
I love, love, love dresses! I’m having a hard time finding cute, affordable dresses that don’t make me look huge. It’s stressful and depressing.
Dresses are the best! They’re so comfy and are able to be dressed up or down so easily!
I love these summer finds!

Isn’t it gorgeous? I’m waiting for it to go on sale!
I love necklace #1 and dress #3!
You and me both girl!!
#2 Shoes, and #3 Bag….I LOVE! Great picks, thanks for sharing! Anthropologie is one of my fav stores!!

Mine too! I love that store so much!!
Those Tory sandals are a total staple in my wardrobe. Sometimes it’s nice to get outside and walk around scoping out the deals and latest trends without my wallet. Definitely saves me from impulse buying and inspires me to work with what I have going on in my own wardrobe.
Aren’t they gorgeous? I want them so badly!
Oh these are so cute! I only wish I had more places to dress up nice to go to 🙁
I feel that way too sometimes! The nice thing about summer is that I can feel like I can dress up a little more day-to-day in pretty dresses!
I love all these picks sweetie!! Great style and beautiful blog!

Aw thank you Diana! I appreciate the kind words!
love summer dresses <3 so easy & comfortable – and fun to accessorize.. esp with oversized totes like that! 😀
I love oversized totes. I can fit my whole life in them! haha
LOVE the blue shoes! And those dresses are super cute!
Thanks Stephanie! I love pretty dresses!
I love all of these things–especially that Bloomie’s shoulder-tassle dress, SO pretty! Love, too, all your handbags, but I myself have a bit of a handbag obsession.
And yes–I love to go window shopping, especially when I don’t have $ for new clothes, it’s fun to try and recreate the styles I see with what I already own!
Yes! It helps me be more imaginative when putting together looks in my own closet!
Erin, I love the bloomies splendid purse and the anthro dress! Perfect for summer!
I love them so much! Now to wait for them to go on sale! 😀
Beautiful choices – my FAVS would be the flat sandals, the lovely jewelry and I love that Dress #1!!!!! So pretty!
I want dress number one so badly! Now I’m just waiting for it to go on sale!
Your style is on point! Love coming to your blog!
Love,
Brianna

Thanks Carmen!
I want dress number 4! Absolutely adorable and would be so fun to wear on vacation!!
Yes! Perfect for a swim coverup and going out dress at the same time!
I LOVE the blue lacey dress! I much prefer to “window shop” in person because you can see the fabrics and patterns in person – online they tend to be a bit distorted to me!
I love that blue dress too! It is really nice to be able to touch and feel the fabrics in person.
It looks like you have a lot of really great pieces on your wishlist right now.
I tend to do a lot more online window shopping than I do in person. I find that when I’m in a store, there’s less time to think, so I make more impulse buys…but that’s just me!

Something About That
I enjoy window shopping online and in person. Online I feel like I can find better deals but in person I can touch the fabrics and try things on!
love your picks. I want every bag LOL i have extra long necklaces on my wish list and i LOVE the high-low dress!
Isn’t the high-low dress gorgeous? I’m just waiting for it to go on sale!
I love making wish lists! I make one every Wednesday on Pearls and Polkadots actually !! 🙂
Great post!!
Ohh I’ll have to check out your wish lists!
You have lovely taste. Your wishlist is now my wishlist! 🙂
Aww I’m glad you enjoyed the wishlist Deepti!
Sigh. Those Tory Burch sandals. I’m itching for those but I can’t decide if I want to spend the money. I live in Florida so I would get great use out of them but I’m not sure my husband is willing to let me spend that much!
Ohh in Florida I feel like these would definitely be worth it! You’d get so much use out of them!
I love all the dresses you picked! They’re gorgeous 🙂
