We've had the most glorious weather lately.
Long days full of sunshine where there's still a glimmer of light in the sky at 10PM and you just want to spend all of your time lounging at a beach or enjoying a picnic outside. Life's not always so carefree of course so we do have other obligations keeping us busy, but we have enjoyed a few nice lunches outdoors in our small backyard and some lovely walks in the evening. I've finally transitioned most of my fall and winter clothes to storage (keeping a few jumpers and coats handy "just in case") and have brought out some of my favorite little summer dresses that I haven't had a chance to wear in forever. Red seems to be one of my top summer colors and even when I'm not wearing a red dress, simple red flats or sandals are my favorite punch of color to add to a summer look. When they're as sweet as these sandals with retro divers on top, who can resist? I can't wait to take them with me when I do have another beach adventure!
