My Summer IT List

My Summer IT List

We are in the dog days of Summer here, so I’m sharing my Summer IT List with you today – just a few random things I’ve been enjoying this season, from cute clothes and fab beauty products to my leisure time favs. I’ve rediscovered my love of reading this summer, and my daughter and I even have our own little personal book club. I’m making more of an effort to turn off my devices, unplug and enjoy real life this summer, and reading offers that opportunity to me. I’m also shopping more consciously this year, and even though I’ve added a few trendy, brightly colored pieces here and there, I’m also focusing on building a neutral capsule wardrobe. So pour yourself a glass of iced tea and read what I’m enjoying this season!

Fall Home Decor Featuring Buffalo Plaid & Burlap

Fall Home Decor Featuring Buffalo Plaid & Burlap

Fall makes me so happy! There’s just something about those shorter days and somewhat cooler temps (this IS the south after all) that makes me want to deck our home in festive fall style. Fall is actually my favorite season, I adore pumpkins and mums and leaves and plaids and all things cozy and warm and welcoming. Even though I have PLENTY of fall decor in the attic waiting for me to put out every year, I still find myself shopping for new fall decorations, and so I thought I’d share some of the fun things I’m swooning over this year.
