You know I love a good flamingo pun!
It’s taking all of my self control not to begin this post with the riveting fact that my legs are covered in mosquito bites. But, despite my best efforts, this is still the opening sentence and I can’t stop scratching my legs, like a crazed itchy lunatic. I know that bitten legs are a sign of a great summer weekend, but man, is it also incredibly annoying and unattractive.
We crossed the border to a friend’s family cabin in Point Roberts on Saturday, which was such a great way to spend the weekend. I managed to read an entire book, get some sun, and most importantly, watch the doggos run around off leash on the beach. I love how extra special our mini getaways feel with Reggie in our lives. Seeing him have a good time makes everything 10 times more fun! Point Roberts was an interesting place. I’d never been before, and I had no idea that it was SO close by and basically should just be a part of Canada. Wish we’d had time to explore a bit more, but we had to get back to run some errands and go to the Counting Crows and Matchbox Twenty concert. I have to say, the Counting Crows were a massive disappointment. They played a rather obscure setlist and when they did play the hits, Adam Duritz would play some artsy version that you couldn’t even sing along to. My cousin’s wife fell asleep during their set! I mean, it was truly not great. His voice still sounds amazing, I just think that if you’re playing a nostalgia tour, you should stick to the way the song originally sounds as much as possible. We’re there for a sing a long! Anyway, Matchbox Twenty rocked it and their sound was also incredible. Still glad we went, my cousins are such a blast to hang out with.
I know that we all say this every single summer, but I can’t believe how quickly this season is flying by. As soon as those days start getting shorter, I feel that panic that we still have so much more to accomplish while it’s nice out. I’m so behind on that summer to-do list, I think the only task I’m nailing is eating a lot of ice cream. Which, probably isn’t super helpful in the long run LOL.
There was a slight hiatus in terms of new posts, but that’s because I’ve been working on lots of great content for the next few weeks. We’re starting with this cutie flamingo inspired outfit. I found this blouse a few years ago at a pop up shop and I’m really happy I’ve kept it because flamingos are so in at the moment! Paired it with some classics like a button front denim skirt and straw hat, as well as a pop of complimentary red in the shoes. I love this look for a summer barbecue or brunch date. Mmm, food. Clearly, it’s time to grab some lunch! Hope you’re all having a spectacular Monday xo
