Baby, It's Hot Outside!

Sun with waves of sunlight radiating outward


Happy Monday everyone! Oh my goodness -- it is so HOT here! Yesterday I took my nephew over to the beach - just so he could see it, as we couldn't have our normal "beach party". The sand was literally burning the bottoms of our feet!

The wind is just barely blowing. It's 94 degrees with humidity in the 85-90% range, creating a heat index of 105-109. I'm showering two or three times a day. If you just walk outside, you feel like you need a shower! Crazy - considering it's still June - and technically not "summer" yet! At least according to the calendar...

How is your weather? Stay cool today - and don't forget to use SPF! :-)

    I know how you feel! It's horrible already in Dallas. I break a sweat just walking through the parking lot into the store. It's been in the 90's with a few 100 degree days. I'm not looking forward to July- that's when it's hottest here. I hope you find a way to stay cool! :)

    Wow, how crazy! We've been relatively cool and comfortable. Slight humidity but haven't had the AC on in weeks. That's Connecticut for you cool one day and hot and steamy the next!

    It's been crazy hot here in Kentucky too! Of course the office has the AC cranked on high so I have to wear a sweater inside! Craziness!

    We are at the beach too... and the heat index is 107 degrees. The humidity is so hot, it's like breathing pudding.

    Hey sweet Lori, hope you're doing well and not melting away down there! How's your hubby doing? I am going to email you this week, pending on some news, some friends of ours are *fingers crossed* moving back down South to the greater Mobile area. If he is awarded the job, there may be some opportunities for your DH - parent company is GE, great benefits, etc. I will be in touch soon I promise! Hope you're enjoying the pool, sending you a hug, hope the oil is not so bad this week. Lisa tells me the clean up crews are on it the second it washes to the shore. xoxox

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke
