Flying By

Am I the only one who thinks summers FLY by?  I have been back and forth between the Outer Banks and Suffolk all summer busy with weddings, preparing for weddings, and wedding showers.  EVERYONE gets married in the summer.  I think I'll opt for a fall wedding when it's cooler and people aren't super busy with vacations, etc.  Don't get me wrong, summer weddings are beautiful, but I love when the leaves start changing colors and the temperatures drop in the 70's.  Needless to say, I am excited for FALL :-)

Redecorating

My Mom and I thought it was time to redecorate my room at the beach house without having to repaint the light blue walls. I found this colorful, organic comforter at Pottery Barn, along with the red, quilted pillows. It goes perfect with the walls and white furniture, but I may need to find a neat picture to put above my bed. I'm thinking a painting with birds in it to go with the forest theme in the comforter. This Woodland Organic Duvet is on sale now (of course, after I've already bought it!) for $99.

I went and saw Bruno the other night and was a little disappointed (imdb gave it a 7.2/10). Don't get me wrong, the film had its hilarious moments, but the media definitely hyped it up. I enjoyed Bruno's old skits from Da Ali G show much more, especially when there were less bare frontal shots. You'll still get a kick out of some of his jokes, but PLEASE don't take your mother :-)

I think I found my calling...

SPF

My idol, Will Ferrell, just released his new " Willpowered" sunscreen line with titles such as "Sun Stroke," "Sexy Hot Tan," and "Will Ferrell's Forbidden Fruit Sunscreen."  Each with an SPF of 30, the bottles alone are quite the conversation starter AND the proceeds go to cancer survivors.  These sunscreens are available for $11.99, but I found them on Amazon for $8.89  :-)

   

No need to hype them up

Just recently I bought a couple dresses by the designer, Hype, at the Posh Boutique in Nashville, TN. I LOVE this designer and their creative tank dresses. I wore this dress to the CMA Festival with a pair of cowboy boots. Too cute!

Beautiful Sunset

I made it home from a long bike ride the other day just in time to catch the most gorgeous OBX sunset. I only wish I had a more professional camera (praying I save enough money for a Nikon D5000) to capture all of its beauty!

Favorite things

One of my favorite things about summer is driving down the gravel road to my house surrounded by tall, corn stalks. There's something magical about sitting on my front porch in the silent summer looking out onto beautiful green and puffy, white clouds surrounding me.
