Strolling Into The Long Weekend Like…

Do you have plans for the Labor Day weekend? Le Monsieur and I are looking forward to a little down time before our kitchen/bathroom renovation project begins to ramp up. There’s a daunting amount of prep work to do before construction begins. We’re just waiting on the final draft of the floor plan, and have begun researching materials. And that’s the fun part! The not-so-fun part: we still have to sort through and pack up everything in the kitchen and bathroom in the next few weeks.

I’ve often said I’m print-averse, but now and then I find one I really like. This navy silk top has an easy-to-wear small and repetitive print that livens up a simple outfit without making me feel drowned out.

I just can’t do heavy bags anymore. I still prefer the look of a leather bag though, so I’ve learned to size down and pass up a lot of hardware or extraneous details that add weight. Bags like this one are great for everyday use. It holds a wallet, phone, keys, lipstick, small sunglasses case, and tube of hand lotion with ease. And being able to wear it cross-body is much easier on my shoulders.

I bought those slide sandals almost exactly a year ago, when I was visiting New York with Lisa. They were expensive, but I haven’t regretted the purchase, as they go with so much in my wardrobe, and are really comfortable. At the time, they were the only ones I’d seen in this style and color, but now there are some similar options for less here and here.

I love being out near the water, and that cool sea breeze. Bon weekend!
