Every summer has its' own story, but all summers share the same scents. There's the essence of sun kissed skin, beachside escapes and breezy warm weather. Add in the scents of fresh mown grass, coconut suncare, and sea breeze. This edit features a little bit of all of this for you, your home, and your environment. This post is aromatherapy for your soul.

I am a sun lover. Are you?

Are You Team Mineral Or Chemical?

The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to be good to your skin. I am most certainly team mineral, and avoid chemicals wherever possible. If you get sun poisoning like my family has a tendency to do, it is most likely the chemicals in your sunscreen.

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

Sending love and applause to all of the mothers and  mother figures out there. Children do not come with instructions, so we all had to figure it out ourselves. I hope that I was even half the mother that my own was. Miss Shop This is my pride, joy, and biggest accomplishment.  I am so proud to be her mom. Enough mushiness, here's some links to 

wrap up the week. 

Bloomingdale's Outlet item of the week: A very chic Ferragamo Leather Tote. Now half price.

 

If you love tortoise, this clutch is fab!

My favorite look of the season: If Ms. Shop This had a date, I would certainly consider Christopher John Rogers Ruched Off-the-Shoulder Bustier Silk Top and wide leg pants. It's a wow at Bergdorf's!

Our sundeck just opened, and it is 44 degrees, go figure. And though last year I never saw one bug, I was prepared. Beekman 1802's Bye Bye Bugs Natural Bug Spray is fabulous! It is the natural alternative to Deet (please don't use that carcinogenic product)I know first hand that it works. Promise. It sells out fast.

Lysse Leggings: Have you tried the? They are really good and so comfy. I just bought two pairs at Bloomies, and now they are 20% off online. Back they go. But I think you should try them. Order your normal size. I like what they did to the tummy area.

Palm Beach chic: The iconic Colony Hotel's lobby just got a bit of a facelift. See the transformation and shop all things Palm Beach chic at One Kings Lane

Last chance to save 30% on TOMS shoes. They are my "go to" Summer comfort shoe. Not sexy but fun and oh so comfy! I love the glitter styles.

Spring Cleaning: Loving this six pair boot rack for storing and keeping organized your winter boots. Now on sale at Container Store.

If you or your Mom suffers from any kind of pain, Lord Jones CBD oil lotion just may alleviate it. I was given a sample of this good smelling CBD product by my close friend, Mollie. It works! I have chronic pain in my ankle. It takes it away.....for many hours.  I highly recommend it.

Thanks for getting a bigger apartment, Meg..... :) Make it a beautiful weekend friends.
