Things I Love Today : Summer, Sand, Surf and Solitude

Ray Ban Vintage Shades from Collectable Spectacle on Etsy.

The East Coast has been sweltering in a heat wave, and work has been hectic. I can think of nothing more than surf, sand, summertime and some well deserved solitude. First, I imagine the perfect swimsuit. Time to suit up!

Vintage Monokini by Angeline's Attic on Etsy.

I love summer sandals. I live in flip flops when I'm not at work.  I remember having a pair just like these in Navy Blue. Prior to the "Sketchers Shape-ups" phase, Dr. Scholl's was already on it with these "exercisers."  These were designed so they really worked the thighs!

Don't forget the sandals... Dr. Scholl's by Storied on Etsy.

  I love this Woven Straw w/Flowers at Joules Vintage on Etsy.

 

FunRetro has the best beach bag!

Nothing better than a little "me time" , bury yourself in a good book, like these by Koyani on Etsy.
