weekend love

After insane quantities of busyness lately (hence the lack of blogyness), I'm so excited for the weekend.

I haven't had a weekend without a major event in quite some time and I am looking forward to it. I'm planning on lots of time outside, especially in celebration of the summer solstice. And although I called it summer long ago, I'm so happy to make it official.

I must admit that I'll miss the beach this weekend, but I'm thinking WestClay poolside sounds pretty fabulous too.

clothing swap?

Guess what's on sale! The oh-so-lovely Rose trellis Taryn gown. Unfortunately, $250 is still a little steep for this non-strapless-dress-wearing girl.

However, I fully support anyone else who wants to buy it. Particularly if you're local and like to share.

À bientôt!

With just a few hours separating me from Florida, I'm feeling very travel-ready. And although they're not really necessary for the Indiana to Florida commute, I'm loving the Narwhal passport covers that DailyCandy covered today.

And once the travel documents have been put away and the swimsuit has come out, these Deck Towels seem like the perfect beach companion. Over-sized linen, in sweet enough colors to match my favorite beachwear. Bliss.

Happy day Archie Balmer!

I've been known, from time to time, to get things a little jumbled. For example, I thought the lyrics to Daydream Believer were "cheer up sweet Bujean". I mean, it was the 60s. Bujean could have passed for a name then...

I also thought an Arnold Palmer was an Archie Balmer (maybe I just have hearing problems?).

And although it's a little shameful to admit that, I don't think it should keep us from celebrating the better half of the Archie Balmer. Today is National Iced Tea Day. Print the coupon for half off all Snapple products, stir in a little lemonade, and celebrate this summery holiday in style.

And if you're feeling rowdy, add a little vodka and call it a Jon Daly - or, in my case, probably a Jan Dairy.
