Good Bye Summer.

Insert sad face here.

I know summer doesn't actually end until the 22nd of this month, but we all know that Labor Day Weekend is the un-official end of summer. Boooo. Good bye lazy days, good bye beach, good bye long days of sunlight.

Since the summer is about to wrap up, I realized I never posted pictures of my vacation to Cape May. Also, I need to clean out my phone and so what better way to get this post going.

Our home for a few days. What's not to love about the Virginia Hotel?
Cute little Inn right on Jackson street, a block from the beach, beach service, and daily breakfast on the porch!

Just a few of the many Victorian homes in Cape May.

Hot Dog Tommy's!! (God I could go for some of that gluttony right now.)

Serenity.

I seriously have maybe another 20-40 pictures I could post but that would mean editing and uploading and then me getting cranky. Plus I have more blog posting to do so this should suffice. 'Til next year Cape May!

Reason #2,430...

...on why I love this City. Check this out:

Where else can you take a free Bollywood dancing class in the middle of the city on a closed down street?! More about Summer Streets to come soon. I hope this makes you smile and that you had a lovely weekend :)

Oxymoron.

It's like a thousand degrees outside. Or more like 90++. And I find it funny that the name of the hot pink color I chose for my manicure is "pink parka". Hot pink to me = summer. Or warm weather. Parka obviously = cold ass weather.  So on a disgustingly hot day today, Pink Parka is quite the oxymoron. Does that make sense? Who cares. Check out my nails. They're fun. Too bad my camera didn't quite capture the true beauty of this hot pinkness. They are significantly brighter. And neon-er. (God I just made up a bunch of new words.)

Just Can't Get Enough.

Does the title of this post have you singing the chorus of the 80s song by Depeche Mode? Haha, because I am and surely the song will now be stuck in your head and mine (you're welcome, hehe). Well, I just can't get enough of another 80s thing - NEON!!! Take a look at my loot (and mani pedi) from yesterday....

If I Were...

....a season, I totally would be summer! (Although sometimes I prefer the fall more.) But summer means to me, slightly more relaxed work atmosphere, slower workload, ice cream, trips to the beach, sun-kissed skin (or sunburns like I currently have) and a overall general sense of relaxation.

Inspiration: My skin that smells like aloe (for the sunburn) and suntan lotion (to protect myself from any further sun damage.)
