Wednesday On The Web

Splash seems to be the theme lately – I think I spent 80% of my weekend in the pool. I am most definitely a water baby. Been keeping the habit going after work this week, just spacing around for some exercise. This week every year is a sort of quiet doldrums after the festive holiday weekend. It has been nice to have shorter days, loads of naps and staying either in the pool or A/C. Some finds from around the web to keep you company on his hot mid-summer week:

Wednesday On The Web

Hello, Summer! And happy birthday to me. I kinda love that my birthday happens to fall on one of the longest days of the year. But this year, temps are soaring so I am planning on a bunch of AC with maybe a quick splash in the book. Cheers and some finds from around the web:

Even though it is so freakin’ hot in Tulsa, but can’t help but lust over this fall piece.

This past weekend, I went to see some friends in beautiful Aspen. I took this Instagram (#nofilter) and it still is so pretty to me, it seems unreal. We hiked, biked, rafted, shopped, ate seafood towers and drank palomas. You can’t really beat that. But now it is back to the real world.

Speaking of the real world…. in my continuous search to streamline mornings while still being healthy, I just ordered some goodies from Moon Juice. My Aspen buddy swears by these nourishing, milky smoothies. I cannot wait for them to arrive and report back on how they taste and make me feel. (also available here) A couple other finds from around the web:

My birthday is coming up next week and turns out apparently I am a Gemini, not a Cancer.

This week has been quite the doozy. I expected a quiet summer week to catch up on all sorts of things before taking a summer vacation. But I have gotten very little done. Note to self: use your weekend more wisely. I did have time to do some shopping and I cannot recommend this little summer shirt from J. Crew – it is so soft. Some other finds from around the web:

I think I’ve shared this before but it merits a double – why I am moving towards a workwear uniform.

I just reordered this candle – totally hooked.

A brief check in this Wednesday – the long weekend has me a bit off kilter. Yesterday, I was totally exhausted. Doesn’t seem to make sense after an extra day of rest. After a nap and a little walk yesterday, I am like a new woman. Hope you guys are having a great week!
