Playin' hooky.

Nothing puts me right like the sun and salty water on my skin. Oh! And iced coffee!

Summer love

Summer is almost finished, I have one more week of wearing the Spaceboot and crutches (ankle surgery recovery), and there is a hurricane headed towards the east coast this weekend. So I'm admiring this beautiful white flowing dress and thinking pretty thoughts. I found it here via Coco +Kelley, whom I'd like to thank for the Sailor shout-out and also say how delighted I am to be mentioned in this interview of Kristiana Parn on Indie Fixx. Happy (and safe) weekend everyone!

Class reunion

I started and finished this summer with reunions. The first was at wedding of friends I hadn't seen in 2 years. The last was a dinner party I hosted for college friends I hadn't seen since we graduated. Both were truly perfect bookends to a really hot but really fun summer.

Summer flair

More flower hairpins in the hiz-ouse. My trip to Maine inspired the theme for these pictures. Don't you just love the end of summer? When the ocean is warm enough to swim in, berries are ripe, and evening breezes cool off the day. I love that bronze glow my skin gets and the ache that says its almost over and soon the crispness of autumn will return.
