Because I’ve got a vacation coming up.

Or five.  I’ve managed to jam-pack this summer with trips to San Diego, Capitola, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Miami.  I’m super excited and slightly overwhelmed for each and every one.  I need to stock up on some Airborne and sunscreen, and of course tons of summer leisure basics.  But with so many cute/exotic/classic/colorful/gorgeous things to choose from, I’m beginning to feel overwhelmed again…
