I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that summer is ending, but that doesn’t mean I can’t milk these last few weeks! This blue and white striped off the shoulder dress came into my life recently, and though I wish I’d had it all summer long, I’m getting mileage out of it now. It’s super soft and is casual enough for an outdoor picnic, but you could dress it up with heels (like these nude wedges), and fabulous jewelry (like these Victoria Tillotson Silver Twig Teardrop earrings), too. For less than $20, you can grab this little number before summer ends!
Another way I’m hanging on to the magic of summer is courtesy of The Body Shop, one of my lifelong favorite places to buy sweet smelling goodies. The Piñita Colada line smells so delicious! It’s a mix of hand-harvested coconuts from Antilles and pineapples hand-picked from Santo-Domingo, so it smells just like the real ingredients. (Side trivia: did you know that Carribean Indians put pineapple crowns outside their homes as a symbol of love?) The shower gel and body cream combined left me feeling like I’d woken up in paradise. The Body Shop also trades fairly, never tests on animals, and they have vegetarian face masks for my fellow veggie friends. What’s not to love?
As you head out the door today, drink in every last bit of summer. Because with school starting and tree leaves already falling, it’s not hanging around much longer.
