the gap/banana republic/old navy. and i don't expect it will die anytime soon. just look at all of the goodies they have in store for spring 2012!

i've never really been on a beach vacation (unless you count a hazy spring break spent in cancun). and lately, for some reason, i've been ridiculously obsessed with lounging around in the sun, listening to the surf while sipping on something sweet.

i blame these made-for-the-beach dresses. and my romantic obsession with cuba (way to go hemingway), freckles, mojitos and cigars.
