the little things

Despite the July date, it doesn't feel much like summer to me. Too much work, no vacation and the cool weather have talked me out of a summery feeling.

There are a few things I cling to that remind me of warmer, lazier days:

• Suntan lotion/ sunscreen -- the smell makes me feel beachy
• My new white pants. I wasn't sure about them at first, but I instantly perk up when I wear them
• Anything from the garden or farmers market -- I horde fresh flowers, fruits/veggies, etc.
  
• An extra swipe of blush/bronzer a few times a day. I don't have much of a tan but I try to fake it

Here's to hoping August brings more summer-like days!
