Summer Loving...

This summer is just flying by for me and as August begins it's winding way into a cooler September, I'm holding on to the little things that have made this summer so special. These long, languid days that glow late into the night and the (now) sweltering days that make it impossible not to jump into the sprinkler with the kids. We've had some impossibly hot ones lately, but I'm savoring them as I know they are numbered. I thought I'd collect some striking summery images for you to enjoy.


A picnic by the water ...


or a lunch in an orange grove.


Perhaps a sleepover tea party with the little ones...


or an outdoor feast with your friends.


Sweet summer dresses and fragrant flowers...


with a breezy bike ride.


Then there's the always beautiful beach...


Mixed with a fancy dose of sultry couture.


The sun in your face and wind in your hair...


and pretty lights strung from your bed when you come home.
