Currently Craving: Beach Day


Currently Craving: Beach Day


My guy and I took full advantage of this weekend's summer-like heat by going for a hike, eating almost every meal outdoors and enjoying nightly strolls through the neighborhood. And although I'm not a huge fan of laying out (I admittedly get bored and/or end up with awkward sunburns) I couldn't help but wish for a beach getaway. Here are a few summer cravings of mine including bright painted toes, girlie sandals, the most adorable cutoffs (Memorial Day / 4th of July perfection), upbeat tunes and of course, some kind of a tan!

You can see a few other bloggers' summer cravings over on Polyvore and enter to win your very own summer essentials from Nordstroms (in the form of a gift card) here.

I'm dreaming of warm sunny days at the beach too... hopefully it'll be warm again this Memorial day weekend.

I love those Current Elliott shorts & that Halogen fedora.
