J and I have been inhaling clouds of honeysuckle every night on our evening walks, and every time we pass a particularly fragrant bush I can’t help but wish for a honeysuckle perfume. Perfect for summer, no? Here are some options I found…

1. Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Jasmine Cologne ($55, 30 ml): Fragrant honeysuckle spiked with sandalwood rests of a layer of sweet jasmine

2. Vera Wang Bouquet ($70, 1.7 ounces): dew drops, Sicilian bergamot, black currant leaves, paperwhite narcissus, honeysuckle, lavender musk, Moroccan cedar, white iris root

3. Britney Spears Believe ($48, 1.7 ounces): guava pulp, golden tangerine, honeysuckle, linden blossom, patchouli, amber, pink pralines

4. Burberry Sport for Women ($48, 1 ounce): mandarin, sea salt, vetiver, freesia, honeysuckle, solar sand notes

5. Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy ($45, 1 ounce): Wild berries and mandarins, honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine

6. Burberry Summer for Women ($65, 3.4 ounces): black currant, pomegranate, mandarin, white peach, freesia, honeysuckle, lily of the valley, white rose

7. Juicy Couture Couture Couture ($50, 1 ounce): Pink grape, orange flower, mandarin, blushed plum, honeysuckle, star jasmine, sandalwood, amber

8. Calvin Klein euphoria ($40, 1 ounce): Sicilian bergamot, lush green accord, persimmon, champaca flower, lotus blossom, white honeysuckle, white sandalwood, amber, Bailey’s cream

9. Trish McEvoy Sexy No. 4 Gardenia ($52, .5 ounces): gardenia, honeysuckle, Neroli orange petals, tuberose

Without having smelled any of these, I think my favorites are nos. 1, 5, and 6. I guess a trip to the department store is in order! Anyone have any experience with any of these scents? I’d love to hear what you think.

Kind of loving these stripes, but especially the big hair and super wide, stretchy black headbands. What do you think — is this a look one could pull off in every day life? Something to ponder this weekend…

I would live in dresses all summer if I had enough of them. No shorts, no jeans, no capris — I would forgo them all for a rack of breezy cotton sundresses. I just ordered three to try from Victoria’s Secret and am waiting for them to come in to decide which to keep (probably just one with my budget, sadly…).

I have yet to try on a shirt dress that has fit me well (and I’ve probably tried on 15 at this point). Yet I keep trying. I have high hopes for this one, though.

Promise I won’t wear it as scandalously as this model!

SO CUTE! Just between you and me, I’m pinning my hopes on this little number.

Which is your favorite? And do you have a great source for reasonably priced summer frocks?

Like last week’s nautical bracelet, I’m loving this one from The Vamoose on Etsy that my cousin Meghan emailed to me. $18 and available in natural or white rope and gold or silver trimmings. See it here!
