So what do you prefer. The skinny or wide?! Have a fabulous day!

{bracelet}

The 4th is right around the corner, yipee! It is one of my absolute favorite holidays-- because who doesn't like the red + white +blue color combo? This bracelet is the piece de resistance to any Fourth of July look. I'd like to rock a LND with this patriotic bracelet! 

{sweater}

Of course, you could always pull out a 90's throwback like this Gant American flag sweater (the largest size fits an average sized woman!!). Throw on some Nantucket reds, navajo sandals and you're good to go. Or maybe you're more of a t-shirt gal. People will be complementing this t-shirt all day! What are you wearing for the 4th? Have a fabulous day!

Unplugged

Let's talk about the time I unplugged... Ok, kind of. I recently went on vacation (as if you couldn't tell from some blog posts, tweets, and instagrams ;). 

En route from Michigan to Atlanta The week before I went on vacation I logged 70 hours of work. No exaggeration there. I'm not complaining, because I truly enjoy what I do and the like the people I work with, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I was absolutely exhausted by week's end. Because I knew that I would be working and traveling a ton that week, I planned ahead.  I wrote a ton of scheduled posts. I didn't have to write a single one while on vacation. I didn't bring my computer on vacation, and I almost ignored all text messages (sorry friends, mom, dad, cCm, boys... ). 

I didn't read a single blog. I checked Summer Wind daily on my iPad to make sure it was posting and Tweeted/Instagrammed some, but I was unplugged. I didn't answer or read any work related or personal e-mails. I felt so free. 

It was so nice to just be with family and not spend time on the computer. We played games, went on bike rides, shopped, went to the beach, played bocce, had a bonfire, looked for crabs at night (creeeeeepy), and watched movies. It really brought me back down to earth in regards to being connected at all times.  Have you ever taken an internet/computer/phone/iPad/etc. break? I am going to try and do this more often. Have a fabulous day!  Yours, 

Neat Necklace

This is the most unique necklace design I have seen since I found this map necklace.  The above is Pittsburgh but they have so many other cities to choose from! 

Atlanta/ Boston/ Chicago/ Central Park/ DC What do you think? Definitely makes a great gift, especially for the inexpensive price point! Have a fabulous day!  Yours, 

Giveaway: Monogram Necklace via Keti Sorely

Keti Sorely is giving one Summer Wind reader their own monogram necklace! Choose from block or script font and the color. If I could get a second, I would choose pink with script font. Which combo would you choose?

J. McLaughlin's Mame Pant

Truth be told, I try to avoid wearing any type of black during the summer at all costs. However, J. McLaughlin's Mame Pant (on sale!!) is the perfect wear-to-work pant for three out of the four seasons. Not to mention, they come in navy and white which are the perfect summer pants for a working girl. I'd pair the navy with their Parker Linen shirt, Jack Rogers, and gold baubles. What do you think? Do you have a pair? Have a fabulous day! 

Yours,

Comfort

This navy swing dress via ASOS is screaming comfortable. Check it out on the site and you can't deny that this dress is the perfect "I realize it's inappropriate to wear sweatpants outside, so that is why I have this dress." Paired with Jacks, a tan leather handbag and a pair of Ray Ban Aviators; you can take on the world in this "sweatpant dress". Have a fabulous day! 

Yours, 

"The Summer Wind came blowin' in"

I've got a borrowed-from-the-boys coverup, a few pair of classic shorts, some navy dresses, a cocktail in hand, an easy breezy hairstyle, a monogrammed Sail to Sable tunic, a pair of neutral Jack Rogers, a delicious  recipe, a great playlist, a cozy sweatshirt, a bright cocktail dress,  and an outfit for the 4th. Summer 2013, bring it on.

Vineyard Vines on SALE!

A Summer Wind favorite, Country Squire Haberdashery, is giving Summer Wind readers a whale of a deal (see what I did there) on women's Vineyard Vines shorts! With the official first day of summer, tomorrow (longest day of the year!!!), now is the perfect time to stock up and enjoy them all summer long!

We're talking adorable prints, embroidered critters and the tried and true, colored chinos. Buy two or more pair and get 30% off and free USPS Priority shipping... told ya it was a whale of a deal! It's an especially good deal because Vineyard Vine shorts rarely go on sale before fall (when it's too cold to even wear them!). I love wearing Vineyard Vine shorts on the weekends with a simple tee or dressing them up (like in the above photos) for a night out! Don't need two pair... go in with a friend!

As for sizing, they are true to size. I range from a 2 to a 6 in all brands and I am wearing a 4!
