Not Quite Fall Weekend
Happy Friday, lovelies! And welcome to the weekend! I know everyone in the northern hemisphere, including myself, is in a fall state of mind but technically it's still summer and I still have the beach house so we'll be heading out there for the weekend.
And wouldn't you know it, the temperature just dropped to fall temps yesterday so it's going to be a rather brisk weekend at the beach. I'm packing all of my sweaters and my cashmere hoodie because it sounds like I'm going to need it.
Should be fun though. I've always dreamed of being one of those people all layered up, frolicking on the beach. Reminds me of something you'd see in the movies. Yeah, I think I watched too much of Grease back in the day. You know that opening scene while Danny & Sandy are saying goodbye on the beach.
And I just watched the movie Something Borrowed a few weeks ago and there was a great scene like that as well. Now it's my chance to try to recreate it :)
Have a fabulous weekend, sweets!

Forward Thinking
Happy mid-week, lovelies! Hope you're all enjoying the week so far. We're having a great time here at the beach house. Such a great time, in fact, that we've decided to rent it again next summer!
The summer may be coming to an end but I'm so happy that I have next summer to look forward to :)
Sending sunny wishes your way!

Beach Bound...Finally!
Good morning, sweets. Today we're finally gearing up to head on out to Fire Island to start our summer vacation. There's minimal ferry service but at least a few are running and we hear that power's back. We're not 100% sure what we're walking into but we're hoping for the best. Finger's crossed that there's minimal damage to the house and that we're able to finally get this party started!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Storm Watching
Happy Friday, loves! And welcome to the weekend. Well it's just about time for vacation for me.
Unfortunately our plans have gotten a little derailed because of the hurricane that's supposed to hit this weekend. Instead of heading out to the beach house, we're going to stay in the city until the storm passes. It'll be too dangerous to be on a barrier island during the storm.
But the good thing is that I am off all next week. Hopefully there isn't too much damage from the storm and we can head on out to Fire Island on Monday. Finger's crossed we still have power and there isn't flooding!
Hope you all enjoy the weekend and to those of you on the east coast of the US facing the storm, be safe!

Wednesday Wishes - Back at the Beach
Happy Wednesday, lovelies! Hope you're all having a wonderful week so far. I know the week is halfway done but I'm still playing catch up after vacation. I'm doing my best but I'm still not up to full speed. Little by little and before I know it the weekend will be here and things should be back to normal.
No big surprise for my Wednesday Wish this week I can't help but wish to be back at the beach enjoying long, carefree, blissful filled days. What is your wish this Wednesday?
Have a wonderful morning and be sure to check back later for another wonderful guest post from another one of my favorite bloggers!

Easing Back Into The Swing...
Hi darlings! I'm so happy to be back after a wonderful vacation that was chock full of fun & a ton of technical difficulties. It definitely was not the most relaxing vacation that I ever had between my hard drive crashing on my second night of vacation, hence the lack of posting while I was away, and I also had some phone issues. My cell phone carrier erroneously tried to charge me $17,000, yes that says $17 THOUSAND. Can you even believe?!?! Luckily after many wasted hours and arguments, I'm happy to say the issue has been resolved.
But like I said, I did also have a lot of fun. Spending the week at the beach away from everything definitely did the job. I spent many hours soaking up the sun, reading magazines, taking photos with my new camera and enjoying my outdoor grill. It was really quite the life. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things but I still find myself dreaming of those long, lovely sun drenched days.
While I was away I did have the wonderful opportunity to be featured on over at some of my favorite ladies blogs. You can check out some of my favorite Fall trends on over at my great friend Chic 'n Cheap Living's blog. And also I was thrilled to be featured by Krysten on over at After 'I Do' for Where I Live Wednesday. I'd love it if you would stop on by to check out their fabulous blogs. Also, I'm thrilled to be filling in on over for the lovely Carissa today at Copious Couture while she's off enjoying her vacation. Stop by and say hi if you have a chance :)
Also I wanted to thank all of the lovely ladies who stepped in for me last week while I was away. Although I wasn't able to post the majority of them last week {I didn't have a chance to schedule posts before I went away because things were so hectic. That will teach me in the future!} I'm going to share them all with you this week. Stop by later on today for a post by the beautiful Helena of A Diary of Lovely. I promise you won't be disappointed!
Hope you all have had an amazing week and I can't wait to stop by to get caught up with you all!
xoxo

Beach Bound & A Winner!
Happy Friday, lovelies! Finally the end of the week is here and I couldn't be any happier because I'm heading out on vacation. We're renting a beach house on Fire Island for the entire week! It'll be a nice taste of suburban living for us city folk. Looking forward to basking in the sun, barbecuing and dining al fresco every night, long walks on the beach and finally getting the chance to use my new camera. Should be heavenly!
I'm not leaving you high and dry for the week though. I've lined up a great group of guest bloggers who will be filling in for me while I'm away. And who knows, I might even pop in from time to time :)
Oh and before I go I wanted to announce the winner for the MD Perricone Cold Plasma Giveaway. And the winner is......
Congrats Bella! Please just email me your address and I'll make sure it gets right on out to you. Hope you enjoy it! And thanks to all who entered!
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and I'll be seeing you soon! xoxo
Longing For Leisure
Happy Thursday, lovelies. Hope you're all having a splendid week. This week has been really hectic so far but I'm not complaining because I have a week long vacation to look forward to starting tomorrow. Can't wait to spend the week at the beach with not much to do besides walk along the shore and lounge outside. Sounds like paradise to me.
I know I promised to announce the winner of the MD Perricone giveaway yesterday but I've been having some issues with random.org and I want the drawing to be fair. Hopefully I'll be back later on today with the winner.
Have a great morning!

Soaking Up The Summer
Good morning, lovelies! Hope you're all having a wonderful week. It's my Friday again, as I have off from work tomorrow, and I'm off to the beach for the weekend.
This is most definitely my best summer yet. I feel so fortunate being able to indulge in all my favorite things during my most favorite time of the year.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. And good news, the weekend's almost here!
