a few weekend picks for summer

At last, summer is here!  Pack up your beach bag, get in the car and head down to the shore (or pool)! Here are a few of my favorite ways to perk up your summer vibe… 

Lacoste makes the cutest, high quality beach towels, and they come in lots of different patterns and colors.  This one’s my favorite, and they’re available at Macy’s. 
  

I bought myself one of these Lilly Pulitzer Beverage Coolers and even got a few extras to have on hand for the blog shop. The fun patterns of these Lilly coolers will catch everyone’s eye and they hold lots of ice, drinks and snacks. 

They even come with a cute pink bottle opener! Think about how great these would be to keep your drinks cold in the back yard...while looking great on your table!  

Kristy Woodson Harvey of Design Chic blog just came out with her second novel, LIES AND OTHER ACTS OF LOVE. I just started in on it last weekend, and it’s got me hooked! It’s a great summer read and would be the perfect addition to your summer beach bag. 

Here’s a brief description of this novel: A touching look into the lifetimes of love, heartbreak, and resilience of a grandmother and her granddaughter, Lies and Other Acts of Love offers insight into the complexities of bonds--of family, friends, and everything in between--and the importance of what one does when those bonds are broken. Kristy Woodson Harvey's second book is a feel-good must read that is sure to remind you of the cherished memories and relationships in your own life.
