Lemondrop

Caroline Rogers, the blogger behind itlooksgoodtome.com is full of creativity. After a full day as a fashion textile designer, the 29-year-old finds time to post inspirational pictures, amazing illustrations, and tightly edited shopping lists.

Our favorite section: Object/Outfit, where she turns anything (e.g., an egg sandwich or a hotel lobby) into a totally cute outfit idea. Sounds weird, but it's totally, absorbingly genius.

In honor of the season, she's made a special Lemondrop spring must-haves list (most under $100); after perusing, you might just think, "it looks good to me, too."
Eena Canvas Duffel, $60 Who doesn't love a good canvas tote bag? I adore this version of the ultimate summer carryall. It's smart, it's chic, and it's certainly roomy enough to hold all that you need for a weekend trip anywhere.





F-Troupe Triple Buckle Sandals, $167 Flat sandals are my absolute go-to footwear in the summer. I must have more pairs than there are days in the week, but I always need more! F-Troupe does a basic sandal proud by adding an extra brass buckle to make you feel/look extra snappy.



Karen Walker Rover Round Sunglasses, $170 Oversized, round shades are all the rage right now, they are super flattering and make you look just the right amount of mysterious. Plus they help save on sunscreen costs since they take up your whole face (maybe?). Karen Walker makes my favorite frames around, hands down.


J.Crew City Safari Pants, $69.50 Utilitarian military-inspired khakis are already the hit of the Season. I'd dress them up with some open-toed booties and a silk tee for work and then with an old tee and my TOMs to stroll down to the coffee shop on the weekend.


Cynthia Vincent for Target Tribal Wedges, $29.99 In bold shoes you can get away with murder. Ok, not murder, but they do do wonders for a white T-shirt and jeans. Cynthia Vincent's line for Target is so crazy good, I hope I can snag a pair!


Gap Herringbone Western Shirt, $39.99 Every girl needs one of these everyday necessities for layering over dresses, knotting atop jeans, and covering up by the pool. This men's version from the Gap looks like you plucked it right out of your boyfriend's closet.


byCORPUS Polka Dot Shirt from Urban Outfitters, $58 While I am known to love stripes, polka dots are making a major play for my affections this spring. This red and white sleeveless button up from Urban Outfitters is a cheap and cheerful way to wear the new trend.


Chanel Nail Polish - Nouvelle Vague, $23 While wearing Chanel remains well out of my budget, I can at least afford to wear it on my nails. Nouvelle Vague, the highly-anticipated color for spring/summer 2010 is going to be my signature manicure shade for the season.


Raffia Braid Fedora from Athleta, $49 Being fair-skinned, a straw hat is my best friend in the summer. I love the classic men's topper reinterpreted in a feminine way. The chunky weave on this one sets it apart from the rest of the pack.


Steven Alan Printed Romper, $248 I am a huge fan of rompers and jumpsuits and am in love with all of the cute graphic printed styles to be found right now! This sporty red number from Steven Alan is a particular favorite -- the only problem with my having something like this is that I would never want to take it off!
