Dots + Mint

 
My friends, Kohls has some killer deals going on right now... 
I am happy to admit I started my Christmas shopping already!!
 
Yes, it's only July.  Yes, it's still summer.
 
Christmas in July, anyone?
 
Every year it sneaks up on us and every year I tell myself I'm going to start early.
 
This year I finally did!  It was all by chance.  I saw some things that I had to have!  The price was beyond right and with their new return policy, I knew I was safe!
 
As usual, I left a very, extremely happy girl.

 



{Outfit Details}
Dress: Liz Claiborne (Goodwill), Cardi:  TJMaxx, Watch & Bracelet: Kohls, Shoes: Target, Earrings: Boutique
 
 
Besides my exciting trip to Kohls, I went old school and got myself a library card!
 
Turns out I'm not allowed to read my Kindle at work.  Boo!
 
I have to say though, my heart skipped a beat when the gentleman handed me my card. 
As I went down the aisles, I, as I always do, felt overwhelmed.
 
I can spend hours in a library or book store.  I'm tugged in every direction and my arms start to become cramped when I can't seem to decide over a handful of books. 
I did finally make my decision, though.
 
And it gave me great joy
with the process of checking out a book these days.
 
All I had to do was scan my card and then scan the book. 
And it even gave me a receipt with my due date on it. 
Pretty nifty!
 
 
And speaking of books, a classic, if you may...
 
May I present my new obsession, from one Oz fan to the next:
 
 
I was worried it may be too small, but it's perfect!  I just bought it yesterday and have already had my fair share of brewed coffee in it :)
 
Hallmark does have the Scarecrow and Tin Man as well,
which would make my collection complete!
Hint, hint...
 
Although the Lion has and always will be my favorite, most of all!
 
Happy reading & drinking!
 
Nothing is better than curling up with a good book and a great cup of coffee...
One of life's simple pleasures.

  6. I'm so impressed with your early Christmas shopping! That is so cool!

    I love my library card! I used to think I was the only person that still went to the library so I am glad you are enjoying it too! I love that you can do everything online - I usually put in a request for the book I want and then all I have to do is pick it up when it's ready! Ahhh, technology :)
