Fun Finds on Friday

June 15, 2012 4 Comments

We travel a lot during the summer months, and the first of our trips (down to Chicago for a bit) is coming up soon. So this week’s edition of Fun Finds is all about being on the go.

I love my camera. So very, very much. But it’s a bit of a monster, and definitely not suitable for stashing in a handbag. The camera on my iPhone has become my replacement point and shoot, and it works beautifully – especially via Instagram. But how much cooler would those vacation photos be with this sweet 3-in-1 lens set, with fisheye, macro, and wide angle lenses included?!

Whenever I travel, I’m always sure to pack a ton of sunglasses because I always know I’m going to lose or break at least one pair before my return. This adorable pair is only $9, and at that price I can justify throwing a few more in the suitcase.

A pair of shorts I can dress up or down saves me space in my bag – which means I have more room to pack another pair of shoes. You know I like that. Plus, this pair is a mere $16.99, which means I can afford to buy another pair of shoes. And you know I LOVE that.

This dress has an easy breezy vacation feel to it, no matter what your destination is. Bonus: it’ll hide the food baby I’m sure to acquire after a few rounds of deep dish pizza and other Chicago specialties.

Do you have travel plans this summer? What do you plan to pack?

  • I love the way light plays such a huge role in photography. It can make or break a photo – too little and you wind up with a grainy pic, too much and you’re overexposed. My favorite is when the sun is at the perfect spot in the sky and it creates a natural bokeh… [Continue Reading]

  • Hey guys, I’m excited to be posting on Wild Ruffle today for Cate. I blog about life, advocating for the orphan, thrifting and crafts over at A Harvest of Blessing. I “met” Cate online a few months back when she was looking for an organization to partner up with in Uganda and I was excited… [Continue Reading]

  • I purchased these pleather shorts from H&M last fall and wore them a couple of times. But lately, they’ve become my favorite thing to put on. Though the first time I donned them, my oh-so-funny hubby gathered the kids around him and said in an oh-so-serious voice, “Kids, I have sad news. Your mommy has… [Continue Reading]

  • As I type, the sun is finally peeking out through the clouds, and it looks like it’s going to be a pretty darn nice day here in Minnesota. Dare I say – it may even feel like summer? Warmer temps mean showing off those toes, and that means I better touch up the polish before… [Continue Reading]

    Wild About You

  • I’ve done my fair share of complaining about the rain. But yesterday, I did nothing of the sort. We didn’t see any sunshine – in fact, it absolutely dumped buckets of rain here in Minnesota. But after a long trip home from a funeral, I was so ready for a quiet morning at home. Besides,… [Continue Reading]

    Love Chicago! Reminds me so much of Toronto.
    And I love those shorts.
    We’re off to Florida for 5 weeks at the beginning of the month. Can’t wait for the heat. We pack VERY light. More room for shopping!
