Hi darlings! I'm so happy to be back after a wonderful vacation that was chock full of fun & a ton of technical difficulties. It definitely was not the most relaxing vacation that I ever had between my hard drive crashing on my second night of vacation, hence the lack of posting while I was away, and I also had some phone issues. My cell phone carrier erroneously tried to charge me $17,000, yes that says $17 THOUSAND. Can you even believe?!?! Luckily after many wasted hours and arguments, I'm happy to say the issue has been resolved.
But like I said, I did also have a lot of fun. Spending the week at the beach away from everything definitely did the job. I spent many hours soaking up the sun, reading magazines, taking photos with my new camera and enjoying my outdoor grill. It was really quite the life. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things but I still find myself dreaming of those long, lovely sun drenched days.
While I was away I did have the wonderful opportunity to be featured on over at some of my favorite ladies blogs. You can check out some of my favorite Fall trends on over at my great friend Chic 'n Cheap Living's blog. And also I was thrilled to be featured by Krysten on over at After 'I Do' for Where I Live Wednesday. I'd love it if you would stop on by to check out their fabulous blogs. Also, I'm thrilled to be filling in on over for the lovely Carissa today at Copious Couture while she's off enjoying her vacation. Stop by and say hi if you have a chance :)
Also I wanted to thank all of the lovely ladies who stepped in for me last week while I was away. Although I wasn't able to post the majority of them last week {I didn't have a chance to schedule posts before I went away because things were so hectic. That will teach me in the future!} I'm going to share them all with you this week. Stop by later on today for a post by the beautiful Helena of A Diary of Lovely. I promise you won't be disappointed!
Hope you all have had an amazing week and I can't wait to stop by to get caught up with you all!
xoxo

Welcome back!
That's crazy about the cell phone bill. And the fact that the (obviously ridiculous) problem couldn't be resolved in a minute is crazy.
Have a lovely week!
Oh my goodness what a week... and 17,000 dollars???? That is ridiculous!!! I'm glad that the trip helped melt those problems away... you would be surprised how therapeutic a beach can be! Thanks again for filling in for me today, we are jetting off to Boston in an hour and I had a chance to look at the post! It's lovely.... I am swooning over those lovelies!!! Thanks again Dawn!

Welcome back! Sorry about your technical problems... Will go see these links right now.
Welcome back! Glad to hear you had a great vacation :)

I am glad that your phone bill got sorted. How many more vacations you can take in that amt. Phew! Missed you around here. Glad to have your back!
$17,000? What? Haha... Oh, I am so sorry. I'm glad you got some good time lounging around in the sun!! Welcome back. We missed you. :)
Welcome back!!! Glad you got everything straightened out. Love these photos. Happy Monday to you! xo
so glad you had a good time! welcome back to the city!
crazy cell phone bill!! but glad to hear that you are back from a great trip :)
my heart would have SANK when i saw that bill!
17K! I wouldn't be able to charge that much if I tried. How could the phone company not realize that was an error? I mean, if you called china and left off the hook all month, maybe right?

So happy you had a good break, though the big bill must have called for some additional daiquiries I reckon... I'm still suffering from 'back to work, back to cool English weather' hangover... xo
Glad you had a great vacation! Cant wait to check out the blogs!
