Back to the Grind.

I am sad to say that our Summer O’Vacays is over.  School starts next week and it’s back to the grind.  We had a great time in Bethany Beach… it’s probably my favorite place in the world.  I used to spend my summers there with my Mom.

We had some great beach days….

A few Happy Hours…

Some kite flying…

Funland…

E even created a new beach game… Peg-Your-Sister-On-The-Ass-With-A-Beanbag.

An ice cream brain freeze…

Mini-Golf.

Lou was finally spent on their last day.

And then, being the devoted mother that I am, I kicked Mike and the kids out on Thursday for some shenanigans with these ladies.

We all modeled some new jewelry that will be available this fall… Stay tuned. 😉

And during this weekend, I was reminded of two things…  #1- I am not 25 anymore.. and happy about that.

#2:  I have the best friends in the world.  Love you Ya’s!

If I Was Gadget Girl….

This would be my next car.  This may be the first and last time you ever read a post about a car on this blog… but man, I want one.  Let me introduce you to Tesla Motors.  Created by Elon Musk, the genius behind Paypal, this car has all of the bells and whistles you would ever want… with NEVER having to pull up to a gas pump again.  

 They are now taking orders for the S Model to be delivered next Spring.  I am a bit of an SUV girl, myself, so I may have to wait for the X Model in 2013.

Wrap it Up.

Ever since painting our hutch in the foyer red, I have felt like it was missing something.  I was looking for the perfect fabric to back the shelves with.  I now believe that perfect fabric does not exist.  I did however have a few sheets of this decorative paper in the basement.  I thought I’d give it a try.
Because the back of the hutch is not flat, I wrapped foam board pieces in the paper.

And voila!

More pics to come once I finish styling!

Better Late Than Never.

I am a little behind in posting pics of the cruise.  Lou (the Technology Uni-bomber) knocked my camera off of a table on the last day of the cruise… and it is donezo.  We had to pony up money for a replacement…. These kids are expensive.

But they are worth it.  They absolutely loved it.
They had lots of bonding time with their cousins.

I couldn’t resist this pic… Can you even stand how cute they are in these wet suits???
Our dolphin, Jill.

Castaway Cay.
Lots of this.

And this.

All for these two.  Happy 50th Anniversary Grammy and Pop Pop, we love you!

Fashion Friday: Summer (Accessory) Lovin’

Alas, Summer is slowly coming to a close.  It’s time for back to school shopping…  (Always gets me a little excited) Wools, Tweeds, Cashmere… Fall is by far my favorite time of year.  That being said, there are ways to create a perennial summer by incorporating a few bold summer-like accessories.  Here are a few of my faves…
