Fummer (Fall/Summer)
I love summer and sun dresses more than anyone I know.
But, today's 70 degree weather felt easy and breezy, like a Sunday Morning.
My jeans, dress, and sweater combination are my numero uno in the comfort department.
Perfect for a lazy summer Friday night.

Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy
I wore this little dress to church on Sunday. I was showered, dressed, and out the door in 25 minutes. That's about as quick as it gets around here folks.

I Scream You Scream We all Scream!
The last thing my expanding waistline needs is smooth, flavorful, and rich ice cream made from a 12% milk and cream mixture.
Unfortunately, my soul does in fact need it, and put up a really strong argument in favor of the stuff.
So, my soul and I convinced my sweets that we needed a summer mini-date night and headed out to enjoy a marvelous sunset drive in search of the perfect cone.
We found this little gem in Richfield, Ohio. Well worth the scenic drive through the winding roads of the valley! Is there a better way to spend an evening than blasting your favorite songs on your iPod, windows down, with your love, in the summer? Not for this little lady.
Of course, I couldn't choose between the freshest Melt-in-Your-Mouth Banana and the creamy Wish-I-Had-a-Bucket-of-It Butter Pecan. So, as is my tradition with shopping, I had both! One scoop of each please! Pure genious, I know. I could tell the 16 year old kid felt the same as I shouted my bright idea to her across the counter.
And, just in case you're wondering. I'm wearing the $1.00 dress I purchased at the Salvation Army last summer. It made me feel very Mad Men.
Now, if I only had a '57 Chevy.
A girl can dream.
Sigh.

Eat. Rest. Eat More.
I spent the majority of my weekend stuffing my face and I'm not ashamed to say it. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the key to my heart. (Sweets usually work as well.) Luckily, the farmers' market was in full swing after J.M.and I worked our butts off at the gym.
I really wanted to try one of the delectable fresh pastries, BUT I stayed strong and opted for fresh romaine, organic eggs, and homegrown apples.
Talk about voting at the register!
I love to chat with the vendors at farmers' markets. They are sweet and kind. I couldn't decide which apples to buy, so the man gave me a taste test.
DING DING DING! Winner winner, apple dinner?
Scrumptious.
I'll take the Yellow Delicious please!
As we meandered through the market, we stopped briefly (precisely long enough to take this photo) to enjoy the music.
I totally should have had a harpist at my wedding.
Beautiful.
Believe it or not, the apple didn't fill me up. So, we stopped to dine on the patio in the valley. The weather was absolutely perfecto. The company wasn't so bad either.
Two eggs, toast, home fries, and 3 pieces of bacon later..... we were stuffed (not a small task)!
Guys, I'm going to be honest here. I love the idea of eating organic and local as much as I possibly can. It's best for the local economy, but more importantly, it's best for your health. With that being said, I simply cannot afford to do it on a full time basis. That doesn't mean we can't support our local farmers. There are plenty of distributors in our area that provide deliciously fresh, local, and affordable produce, especially during the summer months. Start by simply shopping for your veggies only and move forward from there!

Recipe for Success
Scarves are the easiest way to add color and fun to your look. The best part is, you can find them at vintage stores for literally pennies. Grandmas everywhere are regretting their donations as I speak!
Scarf: Thrifted, Dress: TJ Maxx (really old), Sandals: Target
Can we all agree that a girl can't go wrong with polka dots? And a maxi dress? And black?
Master of the basics.
