Going for a dip in the lake
 |
| Anthropologie Pop-Of-Dots Bikini |
It's been pretty warm lately, okay, warm might be a slight understatement, it's been deliriously hot... for me anyways. Coming from a long time living in Santa Barbara this Los Angeles summer is killer, and I don't mean "killer" in a good way either.
In the country during hot summer days a swim in the lake would be in order, and I've found the perfect swimwear for a country dip!

Gazpacho, perfect for a hot summer day
Delicious and refreshing for warm weather.
After a hard days work out in the sun tending to my vegetable gardens and furry friends, perhaps I went out for a walk to the local farmer's market. My feet are killing me and I'm hot- a nice cold 2-day old Gazpacho would really do the trick!
When Hosting An Outdoor Dinner Party In The Country This Is What I'd Wear
Summer time inevitably means warm still nights and the crickets will most likely be singing until daybreak. To celebrate the tranquil country side during the summer it'd only be proper to host a fancy dinner party! Candle lamps, table cloth, lanterns in the tree, a pitcher of ice cold lemonade, a bottle of good wine, roast beef, beet salad with lots of dill, a platter of freshly picked veggies, hot rolls with butter, twice baked potatoes and key-lime pie to give it a nice finish. What do you wear on such a nice warm-weather occasion?

Sometimes accessory is key and this necklace just happens to be the key for this dinner outfit, without it the outfit just doesn't have that something special that all outfits should have.

San Francisco Woods
I naturally did lots of walking during my trip to San Francisco. On my last day there I walked to the park near the Botanical, Rose and Japanese Gardens, in one section I walked through a small woodsy area and took this picture of the trees. It was absolutely beautiful and smelled of... well, woods! Dreamy. This is the kind of woods I dream to be living near in my country home, I was charmed that such a place could exist in the middle of a city.
I Spot Shimmering Gold Fields
This past weekend I went on a little road trip to visit a close friend of mine who lives in San Francisco, the drive was six and half hours on the 5 FWY, could be quite dull compared to the 1 or the 101 but I thought it beautiful, we were just in time to catch shimmering gold fields along the way.

A Doorway That Can Really Make A Difference
Often times it's in the details of a home's structure that makes a difference, like the rounded doorway pictured above, I absolutely love it!
Just Leave The Mail By The Door!
Just because I'd be living in the remote country side doesn't mean I wouldn't get mail, quite the contrary- the further you are from civilization it seems the more mail you receive. I found a beautiful wall mount mail holder that also doubles as a coat hanger! It really is perfect for someone such as I who tends to throw everything on the nearest seat closest to the front door.
