>> long days and short dresses

>> sun-kissed skin with a lingering smell of coconut tanning lotion

>> an afternoon of guilty chic-lit book marathons

>> juicy, watermelon and ripe tomatos

>> fireflies buzzing around

>> chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream … dripping down the waffle cone

>> fresh cut grass

>> pool parties that turn into dance parties

>> bonfires and yummy ‘smores

>> bare feet and bright colored pedis

>> lemonade on a deck and beer at a local fest

>> taking a long walk because you want to be outside … doing anything

>> short shorts and strappy sandals

>> fireworks, sparklers and sticky nights

>> sand in toes and salt in your hair

>> sweet corn and bbqs

>> laughter, love and lasting memories
