Guess where I am!! I decided that the most appropriate way to wrap up our Summer Kickoff Blog Series was to write a post at the cottage in my festive Memorial Day Weekend attire!
But first, I need to fix myself some Summer in a Cup.
Despite the beautiful scenery and the delicious beverage, this photoshoot was an epic fail. I’ve never had so may dog butts in my face, within a 10 minute period, before in my life. Chloe and her BFF cared less about my festive scarf… stinkin mutts. 

Anyway! I was absolutely giddy when I found this infinity, vintage-y, USA scarf and Blue Green Aqua. It is a light weight cotton material so it’s perfect for cool summer evenings.
Brown Dog’s dog butt is all over the place in this blog post! Sorry friends.
Back to my digs - I don’t care who you are, or where you live, but no summer wardrobe is complete (in my opinion) without a pair of Sperry Boat Shoes. They are comfortable and durable. When I’m not wearing flippies or sandals or toms - you can bet your bottom dollar that I’m wearing my sperrys. (Yes, I have them in hot pink too.)
And even though I’m in North Carolina for the weekend, I figured why not rock my Virginia necklace anyway.
A special shout out goes to these three for all of their “help” with this photo session!
BTW - How flippin’ cute does Chloe look with her river hair!?
{While I was taking my selfie to show off my necklace, I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye… I look over and catch Brown Dog placing her ball with all of my accessories! Pretty positive she felt the ball was a crucial accessory to the shoot.}
Thank you all so very much for kicking off summer with us! It was such a great way to prep for the holiday weekend and network with other bloggers.
J teaches us how to embrace Summer White all week long!
Leslie helps us pack up the best beach bag I’ve ever seen!

And last but not least, Jenn gets us ready to use everything we’ve learned and throw a summer shindig!
Y’all enjoy the holiday weekend. Drink so drink. Catch some rays. Enjoy time with your friends and family. But most importantly - Take some time to remember the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and our freedoms.
Until next time… xoxo
