On My Wish List: Shabby Apple Swim!

Oh, how I would love to be next to a pool right now! It's March and the charm of Winter is getting tired. While I won't be poolside for who knows how long, that won't stop me from dreaming of some pretty swimwear. I'm loving the retro vibe of Shabby Apple's newest swim line. The pieces are sold separately too, so you can mix up top and bottom sizes!

You know I love gingham! 

Sailboat top. 

Bow and polka dots! 

High waisted bottoms!

Half-Pike Top

More gingham, this time in red! 

Deckwork Top

Summer can't get here fast enough! 

My View: After Christmas Sales!

Do you wait for after the holidays to take advantage of the sales? It is very tempting! 

Here are some current sales from Bobbins And Bombshell affiliate sponsors: 

 

 Lots of great shoes and boots on sale over at DNA Footwear! I'm eyeing these lace-ups from Seychelles. I used to wear boots like that in the 90's. Miss them!  Click the above DNA Footwear banner to get to the sale.

Ooooh! Shabby Apple is having a sitewide sale! Sitewide! Enter code NewYears at checkout to get 20% off everything, including already marked down items. Click the banner above to get to the sale. 

I'm eyeing (may be ordered after I write this post) this leopard skirt.

And if a leopard skirt is not enough, I'm also seriously considering the Josephine Corselette from What Katie Did! I could use a really good shaper after all of the holiday goodies I consumed this year! 

Again, click the banners to get to the sales. Happy shopping!
