My chocolate addiction finally caught up with me and I found myself in the chair of doom at the dentist this morning. As I tried to block out the horrible sounds going on around me, I let my mind drift to a much happier place; the whirring drill was replaced by the sound of waves lapping against a shoreline and the spotlight overhead became the warm summer sun. I imagined a world where eating ice cream and hamburgers had no consequences, where bathing suit shopping was a treat, not a chore, and where I could shop every single day of my life. And what would I buy? How about bright beach bags, gauzy white shirts (the perfect cover-up), cool statement cuffs, fun nautical pieces and retro-inspired bathing gear. I made a little pact with myself that if I ever got out of the chair alive, I would seriously limit my chocolate intake. But what else could possibly satiate my sweet tooth? How about sweet fashion finds? I could totally be down with that. Imagine all the money I'll save...
