Happy First Day Of Summer

Happy first day of summer! I have enjoyed the summer season more this year than I usually do; the winter in Tennessee this year was almost unbearable {I think I may have cried a couple times when I had to go out in the polar vortex} needless to say I am glad the cold is offically over and the warm weather is here to stay. If you are from the South or have ever visited here during the summer you know all to well how hot and humid it can get, hence why sweet tea and lemonade is such a popular beverage down her. I figured since it’s the first day of summer what could be a more perfect post than to share some lemonade recipes.

Here’s where to get the recipe. Click on the name of the dish to be directed to the website where you can find the recipe.

Kate Spade 2015 Agendas

As you have probably gathered from reading my blog I love stationary, books {p.s. I would love to have a whole room of floor to ceiling bookshelves like in the picture above, that would be amazing!}, notebooks, notepads, planners, and so on. Needless to say I am pretty excited about all the new planners!
I have yet to purchase a new agenda yet; I love, love, love, my 2014 Lilly Pulitzer Luxe agenda from last year, but I am not sure if Lilly is doing a Luxe agenda again for this year. This week I have been look at the Kate Spade planners in all of their adorable patterns {bella bookshelf and good dots are my favorite}, and have been thinking that maybe it’s time to change things up.

New Lilly Summer Arrivals

Sorry for my blog post being so late today, my Internet last night unfortunately was not working. The other day I received an email about the Lilly Pulitzer newarrivals so naturally I headed over to the Lilly website to check things out, I think the elephant print tunic has to be my favorite, easily! Below are a few of my new arrivals!

Trending :: Maxi Dresses

Lately I have been noticing that maxi dresses and rompers seem to be more popular this summer than they have in the past. I’ve noticed with each passing summer the popularity of the Maxi dresses seems to keep growing. I am all about summer dresses and wearing them at the shortest possible length I can get away with but still have the dress look tasteful. However, this summer I am thinking about hoping on the train and maybe adding a maxi dress to my wardrobe, they seem to be comfortable and stylish and would be the perfect thing to wear to dinner on a cool summer night.
