Good morning, loves! The weekend's just around the corner and this weekend is the first weekend all summer that won't involve any beach time. And you wanna know a secret? I'm kinda happy about it.
If you've been reading this space even a little bit this summer you're probably pretty familiar with the fact that I'm a beach girl at heart. Sun, sand and surf. It really gets no better than that. But there are other parts of the summer that I love to experience and this is the first summer in a long time that I haven't had a chance to take part in any of that.
So this weekend I'm making it a point to squeeze in a a summer stroll with J somewhere lush. Maybe some gardens somewhere out on Long Island or maybe even some time in Central Park. The sand and surf can wait till next weekend. :)
Have a wonderful day, sweets!

This weekend, madness unleashes in my life. the Fashion Week starts tomorrow, and the weekend will be an endless flurry of activity, interviews, shows and reviews.
Have a fabulous time among the greens... See you other side of Sunday!
Sometimes "change" is a good choice, dear Dawn! I am also a beach girl, but we usually go to the mountains as my BF's mum has a house there. So, enjoy the gardens, parks weekend :*
Sounds like a nice plan! Central Park is amazing, so I think you'll be enjoying that! xoxo
That is a great plan !
Hope you had fun dear and enjoy!
Ah wonderful. These images are gorgeous as well.
i'd say wandering around NYC is a pretty amazing alternative to the beach -- sounds like a really lovely weekend :) xx
A little break from the beach to partake in some summer fun in the city sounds like a great idea :) Chicago in September would be great. Then you'll probably miss both the extreme heat and cold. Xoco is a must ;D

These pictures are so pretty. I can't wait until I can go outside without worrying about heat stroke. August and September are the worst months of the year where I live!

Summer has so much to offer. It's good you're taking time for other of its pleasures too. :)
Sounds perfect! You have to mix it up sometimes. :)
Enjoy the green! Love all these images of lush summer goodness! Hope you and J have a lovely time wherever you end up strolling!

That sounds like a wonderful plan. The beach was on our plan but the weather report says it will rain so I think we have to come up with something else. Maybe shopping ;-)
PS. I laughed out loud when I read your second comment. Oh my, I used to be obsessed with Obsession, hahaha. And I remembered another one, Loulou by Cacharel. Did you have that one, the bottles were wonderfully blue.
I think it's a lovely idea to mix things up and enjoy the weather in a different way. I'm also hoping to really take advantage of the amazing weather this weekend.. outside time is a must. xo!
Can you please transport me into this post? I, too, am such a beach gal but a beautiful garden takes me back to my love of the Secret Garden and all its mysteries.
Sounds like a fun way to change things up - I love strolling through summer gardens!
Much love,

Even your favorite place in the world needs a break every once in a while, right? Absence makes the heart grow fonder (c;
Lush greenery sounds perfect for a picnic or just cruising around. Have a great time!
It's all about the balance, isn't it? I always imagine that NY must be beautiful in the summer - at least partly... like morning walks, the Central Park, going to the MoMa, having coffee in the street... xoxo
Great! So that means I can stay at your beach house! ;)
You're right, the greenness of summer is so lovely too! Love the first image - barefoot in the park, oh yes! xx
my friends are coming into town this weekend and i am SOOO excited!! :)
xo,

some time in central park for a long stroll and picnic sounds just so perfect!! hooray it's almost friday ;)
I love Secret Gardens,
That purple is really beautiful...would love to relax there on a summer day!
just like its nice to get away its also nice ot not have to rush off somewhere as soon as work is finished for the week :)
I wish my weekend would include a little more beach time, but the Norwegian summer isn't known for its great weather. So, I'll look at the mountains instead this weekend. Have a great one!
A stroll down central park must be wonderful... I love a garden full of roses or hydrangeas... Have a beautiful time my dear!
A walk in lush gardens sounds perfect Dawn :) When you've been away for awhile, it feels good to be home.
