I've actually done my Friday Five post a few days early this week. As you're reading this, I should be in New York City attending Book Expo America. There are so many great authors and books at this event. I get excited just thinking about it.
It's been a heatwave in Iowa, and it makes it extra hard to think that we still have 9 days of school left.
I'm ready to hit the pool as soon as I can.
Here are a few things I managed to find before I left for the Big Apple:
1. Pillar Printed Capri - these are featured on the Prana website and the Title Nine catalog. I love printed leggings - my girls are all about the plain black legging look - and these just seem to say summer to me.
2. GapFit High Neck Tennis Shelf Tank Top - Right now Gap has several variations of this high neck tank that I'm quite liking.
3. Nylite 4 Women's Tretorns - my poor sad, white Tretorns have seen a better day. I really need to find a new pair. While plain white would be the most versatile, I love these gingham ones, too.
4. Women's Sandy Shores Cuffed Shorts - and I NEED a pair or two of shorts that I actually like. I have plenty of pairs I don't much care for, but few that I like. I am not a big elastic fan, but for hanging out at home, hiking, and being outside, I feel like these might be a good choice.
5. Poplin Ruffle Sleeve Dress - A nice white dress in summer to show off my tan (which I don't have at all yet) is something I find hard to turn down.
6. Gap's Alex's Lemonade Stand Graphic T-Shirt - most people are probably aware of the story behind Alex's Lemonade Stand. I love that Gap is now offering t-shirts to support this cause.
7. Linen 3/4 Sleeve Relaxed Tunic - linen always looks great in the photos and on models. I wish it wouldn't wrinkle up on me every time I wear it. I love the pink color.
8. Printed Tie-Waist Shirt - gingham is still in, and so is the tie waist. I could see pairing this with a pair of my white jeans.
9. Relaxed Twill Popover Shirt - over the past few years I've accumulated a few popovers, and really like the fit of them. Can you ever have too many of this type of shirt?
10. Embroidered Dress - and I have a soft spot for anything embroidered. This dress would be perfect to throw on during the dog days of summer.
So how about you? What's caught your eye this week?

Good stuff. I like your reasoning for these items too, "dog days of summer" etc. I was dying this weekend. It was 96 and I was pretty miserable. I am also pretty disgusted with the weight gain from this hormone therapy my doc put me on so I don't want to buy a thing at this current weight which presents a problem. It sounds very extreme but a fashionable, breathable bag to put over my head would be good right about now.
