♥…accouter yourself in Red Carter’s Chameleon Bikini, dial up a bunch of your besties, and spend the day racing through the lawn sprinklers?♥…spread out a thin blanket in your front yard, lie down on your toned tummy, and while the afternoon away flipping through pages of Nabokov’s Lolita or Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides?
♥…step out of your Sergio Rossi Disk T Strap Wedge Sandals, set up a bubble machine, and dance with a cute boy as iridescent bubbles rise and pop around the two of you?
♥… open all the windows in your bedroom, toss your blankets on the floor, and catch some zzzz’s atop nothing but cool sheets?
♥…style yourself in a flirty frock a la Rebecca Taylor’s Strapless Dress, teeter off to the nearest playground in your Jeffrey Campbell Take Draped Wedge Sandals, and swing your cares away? As Jimmy Buffett once said, “Life is just a tire swing…”
Fashionably yours!

A day in the sun, sprawled on a soft blanket and getting totally immersed in a fascinating fiction sounds wonderful right about now! Let me know what you think of Lolita when you finish :)
ReplyDeleteI like #4! Sounds lovely :)
ReplyDeletecool sheets are THE best in the hot summer. And that reminds me, I need to read The Virgin Suicides again. Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI really really would love to spread out a thin blanket in my front yard, lie down on your slightly toned tummy, lol.
ReplyDeletegreat post!!!
Tia
ha! wish I could spread out a thin blanket in my front yard and lie down on my 'toned' tummy! especially with 40º F degrees outside! I would really love that! have a nice day! xo
ReplyDeleteI wish I were sprawled on a blanket in the sun reading a good book right now!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely need a 'toned tummy' first, but I love just lying out in my backyard with a book ... a perfect way to spend an afternoon! Unfortunately it's going to be pretty chilly here for the next few days, but I would LOVE to sport that chameleon bikini once the weather gets warmer! Hope you have an amazing Wednesday, Erika! :)
ReplyDeleteThe heat here has finally broken and it's a beautiful day in the 70s. So I like the idea of lounging outside on a blanket, passing away the hours with a good book to read.
ReplyDeletegreat post. i love that. running through the sprinklers..sooo nice!

xoxo Sootjeelina <3
I would die to do all of those things right now!! Always the most amazing suggestions form you :) xx
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do any of these things if it weren't so yucky out! Instead I think it'll be coffee and magazines in bed...not so bad for a day off!
ReplyDeleteI often long for option #2, particularly when driving to work in the mornings and the blue sky abounds endlessly (a normal phenomenon here in CO)... le sigh... :)
ReplyDeletexoxo J
Fun & fabulous ideas! It would be so fun to run through a sprinkler... havent done that since I was a youngin!
ReplyDeletexo, becs
That Rachel Taylor’s Strapless Dress is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteyes, please, to all of the above!
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds perfect! Love that bikini (although I am far too scared to get into any swimsuit, let alone a bikini!) And I want a bubble machine!! That strapless dress is also absolutely gorgeous... and I *need* those draped wedge sandals! I wonder if I'd be able to walk in them without tripping over...
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so MUCH for your sweet comment, you're lovely. My exam was good, The photos doesn't appear. I will post another one in a minute =)

ReplyDeleteSpending an afternoon reading in the garden sounts like pure heaven. I've always wanted to read Lolita.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could open my bedroom window...but the smog from the Midtown tunnel will fly in!! Time for a luxe vacay from the city for a bit I think,no? <3
ReplyDeleteSuch fabulous suggestions! Today is a beautiful day here and perfect for the playground. :)
ReplyDeleteOption number 4 will be tonight for me...hahaha. Finally a break in the heat and a chance to give the AC a rest!
ReplyDeleteI would lie down,but it's raining again.Can't believe I'm complaining about the rain. I love rain,but it's alreadt tooo much.I want sun and sun and...sun! The only thing I can do now it's a crochet bag.That would make my happy.

ReplyDeleteSo glad you featured the Jeffrey Cambell wedges; I adore all of his shoes! Have you seen his "France" strap boots? They're on my fall must-get list :)
