Mini Moments {Home Sweet Home}



J.Crew Panama Hat.  Opening Ceremony Tee.  Current/Elliot Shorts.  
Oia Jules Bracelet (currently available on Style/Stalk).  Joseph Mimi Ring.

The past couple of days have included poolside lounging, tasty meals and evening bocce ball games with the family (we take this game very seriously). It's always nice to be home at my parent's house and you know what, I'm pretty sure this weekend will look about the same!


Evening hors d'oeuvres (aged gouda cheese + nuts).


 Poolside necessities.


Watermelon is one of my favorite summer treats (along with cheeries, which I eat like candy).


Late afternoon bocce ball game.


I pinned this geode cork DIY (as seen on Cupcakes and Cashmere) a few weeks back and finally got around to it yesterday. I bought the stones at a gift shop in Yellowstone so they will now forever remind me of our trip!

Few things are more relaxing than visiting parents. I find that I fall back into "kid mode" when I'm at my folks and it's nice to not worry about chores or making dinner!

I'm more relaxed just looking at those poolside pictures :) And is that the Tory Burch iPhone case with the cheetah background?! I just ordered that and was actually going to suggest it for you!

Ahhhhh what a glorious little getaway you're having. I'm most jealous of all the bocce. One of my favorite summer games! Perhaps we need to rally the girls for a little tourney in central park? Just a little something to put under your panama... xo
