sailing

ahoy! friends.. I hope you all had a splendid weekend..I did something i have never done this weekend ...went sailing on the bay! it probably was the prettiest day ever on the most beautiful boat..i saw things about this part of the world i live in that i have never seen before..it was chilly at parts but super sunny and really amazing being out on that salt water! it was a learning experience too..i learned that they aren't called "ropes" they are called "lines" and we did things like 'tack' where the boat is literally sideways and we turn around..it was so fun!

speaking of sailing..i found these cute deck shoes..i love how they are preppy without being perfect..they have that worn in look..now i need to decide between the metallic ones or the navy ones..found here
don't cha love?

(re-think your string bikini's people..)

while we are thinking of sitting by the pool, i encourage you all to buy this compilation Cd from the fabulous Tory Burch, $ goes to a good cause..she has amazing taste in music, i have her other cd and its in my car and i love its randomness!
great tunage + sunshine = a perfect day

look how pretty marilyn monroe is here...sooo curvy and confident!

since everyone is experiencing record breaking heat..its got me thinking about swim wear..YIKES!
i am loving the shot of my mom on the previous post and made me think..i want a bathing suit that covers me up, and cute too..
string bikini days are sadly in the past for me..

i guess it doesn't have to look so bad..and 'miracle suity' (image source unknown)


here are my choices i found online:

from anthropologie romantic boho

from jcrew the staple..plan on ordering them all and keeping one what i like best..can the stores please start to carry one pieces its mean that they only carry bikinis..

from Tory Burch great pattern..but hard for the well-endowed

from Urban outfitters..demure girlie

from Juicy Couture, sexy and LandsEnd Canvas, great price!

summer thoughts

i guess summer is "officially" here, i have been celebrating it earlier this year for some reason..i had to post the image above, it so reminds me of me. i was the kid with the goggles, that would dive for pennies, sink under everyone and swim by them like some sort of weird eel, and go touch the drain, get freaked out and hurry up to the top so i wasn't sucked in by some scary monster.
the best story was when my mom would come searching for me to go home and i would literally sit on the bottom of the pool looking up at her, in her shift dress and her dr.scholls, pointing at me to get out of the pool, it would take awhile but i would finally have to come up for air, all pruned skinned and water logged..good times..no wonder i am an aquarius.
