One good thing about summer is that white pants don't look weird... and that's good since I own about 5 pairs of white pants from wide leg to skinny. And the bright sun totally washed out my cool shirt from Anthropologie; it has lace patches on the front and gray stripes on the back and cuffs ( love ).

Back to work!

 This is my important first impression outfit.

It's the first day of class but, it's summer so the look is very casual.

What I did on my summer vacation...

During my short three week break between Spring and Summer semesters I snuck in a little fun.

Beachcomber Cafe at Crystal Cove State Park, Laguna Beach

Cocktails with my newly 21 year old girlie.

Mission Beach, San Diego

 People watching at the beach with hubster 

Took my girlie shopping at the Grove in Los Angeles

And then a great lunch at Farmers Market.

Wore a fun red hat.

Went to Julian and had pie and saw a llama

Rode bikes with my posse

Doheny State Beach

Delicious Fathers Day barbecue and celebration.

Princess Diana exhibit ends in December ( I think )

 Viewed Princess Diana exhibit on the Queen Mary Ocean Liner in Long Beach

Then had DELICIOUS Windsor high tea onboard the ship.

Newport Harbor High School grad

Graduation party for a nephew.

Moved my girlies back up to Northern California

Zarzuela restaurant in San Francisco

And then my summer vacation was officially over.

Cheers.

Follow the yellow ( and red ) brick road ! 

Nope, it's not Oz. Just a lazy, hazy afternoon on Cedros Ave in Solano Beach California.

*For summer I am determined to wear a hat everyday and it seems my trend is to match my shoes to my hat. Also, I am very into wearing very small posts after wearing nothing but hoops for years.
