Monthly Musings - July

July 27, 2023

 


I'm joining Holly and Patty for their Monthly Musings.  

We will be answering questions on the topic:  July 2023 Summer Fashion.



Here are the questions: 




1.  Favorite Summer Outfit?  I usually wear during the week athletic shorts and a T-shirt.  If I'm going out I usually wear jean shorts and a dressier top.  I also like wearing T-Shirt dresses like the one below in black from Old Navy.  


2.  Favorite Summer Footwear?  I love wearing my leather and rubber Birkenstock sandals, also my floral Stan Smith Adidas sneakers.  I get a lot of compliments on my floral sneakers.  I like wearing flip-flops if I'm going to the beach or pool. 


3.  What Summer Accessories Are You Wearing on Repeat?  I love wearing sunglasses on repeat.

4.  What Do You Use For a Summer Bag?  I love using a blue slouchy crossbody handbag similar to the one below.

5.  What Summer Scents Are You Wearing?  I love wearing any perfume by Jo Malone, and Kate Spade New York.


6.  Maxi Dress, Romper, Jumpsuit?  I haven't worn any of these this summer.

7.  Favorite Summer Sunglasses?  I love wearing my Coach or Chanel sunglasses.  For the beach, I like to wear less expensive sunglasses.

8.  Favorite Summer PJ's?  I always wear a short nightgown.

9.  Do You Wear White After Labor Day?  No.

10.  Favorite Summer Fashion Trend Right Now?  I'm wearing right now very casual and comfortable clothes.

Holly and Patty, I enjoyed answering these fun questions on summer fashion.  


Here are the monthly topics and dates.  

I hope you enjoyed reading my answers to summer fashion.

Life Lately - July

July 17, 2023

 

Hello friends.  I can't believe we are already into the middle of July.  Here's what's been going on lately.



My daughter recently traveled to Ireland and England with her friend and cousin.  They had a great time and this is what my daughter brought back for us.

This headband from Ireland is so adorable.

I love this assorted tea collection.  We loved the iced peach and passion fruit tea.

I love wearing this pretty apron and using the tea towels from Harrods.
This tea mug is so cute.
We've made a few drinks with this pink strawberry-flavored gin.

I have kale growing and we've used it in our smoothies every morning.  This is my first time planting kale and it grows great in a big container.
I'm so happy to throw some cherry tomatoes I've got growing into our salads.

We have a new Poke restaurant that has opened up in our neighborhood.  We've done take-out from there a few times for dinner.

We have a stray cat who my daughter named Gracie and it looks like she wants to move in.  I came home from the gym and I found her laying on my back stoop.  This is the closest she has ever come to us.  She is afraid of us but we love it when she comes to visit. 

A trip that never happened.  We were supposed to take a short trip to Las Vegas last week to meet friends for dinner and shows.  We were supposed to fly out last Sunday but we didn't make it because Delta decided to cancel our flight due to bad weather.  We made it through security and on the plane with no problems and spent a long time at the airport.  Delta told us they could fly us out to Salt Lake City at 8:00 pm that night and we would not arrive in Vegas until 3:00 pm on Monday.  We would've lost two days of travel because we were supposed to be coming back home on Thursday.  We are so bummed about our trip being canceled and I thought this would have been an easy trip.  I'm usually an over-packer and I even fit everything into my carry-on luggage and a backpack.  I am seriously thinking that airplane travel during the summer months is not such a good idea.  In the future, we might take a car trip somewhere during the summer months. 

Have you had any vacation problems this summer?

Currently - July

July 5, 2023

 


Hello friends and happy July.

I hope you all had a nice weekend and enjoyed celebrating the 4th of July.

I'm linking up with Jennifer at Overflowing With Thankfulness for what I'm currently loving, savoring, celebrating, remembering, and trying.

This link-up is held on the first Wednesday of each month.

LOVING:  We took a day trip a few weeks ago to Greenport, LI.  We love taking day trips to get out of the city.  It was a beautiful summer day and we enjoyed walking along the street, window shopping.  We had brunch at a new to us restaurant called Alpina.  The food was delicious tasting and we enjoyed our cocktails.  I had french toast with bacon, oranges, and maple syrup and I loved my espresso martini.  My husband enjoyed his dish (I forgot what he ordered) and he had a cocktail in a cute bear jar.



SAVORING:  I am savoring the Thai food we had at a restaurant called Sage.  My husband and I enjoyed our delicious food.  I love this restaurant and it's my third time eating there.  Below you can see our food.  We enjoyed dumplings, steak and fries, and mixed seafood and vegetables.  We both had to drink Singha Thai beer.


CELEBRATING:  We just got done celebrating the 4th of July.  We had a bbq at home and then we watched the fire works on TV.


REMEMBERING:  I am remembering last year how we enjoyed going to the beach.  I'm looking forward to spending July and August at the beach.  We like getting to the beach in the morning.  I always pack sandwiches for lunch, fruit, chips, and a lot of drinks.  I love spending the day swimming and reading magazines or books.


TRYING:  We are trying to take day trips to different places this summer.  We enjoyed our recent day trip to Greenport, LI.  


What is currently new with you?
