beach bound.

The first week in June, my family makes their yearly trek to the beach, and for the first time in ages, I'm taking off the entire week. That's right. An entire week of nothing. My parents trained me well. I need no entertainment. Just a few good books, beautiful sunshine, walks in the sand, and the sound of the ocean. And maybe these deliciously beach-y items:

Truthfully, I probably have enough book totes. But I'm really digging this one.

Let me ask you: where can I find a pair of exquisite leather sandals for $40? Etsy, of course.

I'd also take the Old Navy shorts in any color.

Isn't this hat cute? I'm sure I could get more than just beachwear out of it.

Other beach necessities? Good books, Neutrogena sunscreen (would you believe that sunscreen is the ONE THING in this world that I am allergic to? I get a rash every year), Burt’s Bees lip balm, and board games. This year, we’re going to be without wireless, and you know what? I’m okay with that. I need a break. Seven days of sun and surf sounds just about perfect.

Happy summer! See you in a week!
