My summer essentials

I know I'm late doing this, as we're already in the middle of summer, but better late than never, right?
1) Tinted moisturizer- When it's just too hot for even a light foundation, this is the only thing I can wear (aside from sunscreen, of course!)

 2) Tote bag- Perfect for bringing stuff to the beach, zoo, or playground:)
Got this from our local Chapters Indigo bookstore. I love the owls.
3) Small e-reader- It's easier to tote around, especially if you're reading something with about 1000 pages, or smut books...heehee:)

 4) Flip flops- Nothing says summer like flip flops, right? :D

I like this Summer All-Stars post that Rumi did:

Looks to me I won't be needing summer essentials here, since it's cloudy and windy most of the time nowadays.. I knew I shouldn't have bought those dresses!

Great list of essentials. For me, sun protection is always actually on my list, I also have a garment rack for my stuff, so I love that image. :) Happy Monday Emmy.

Love these essentials, that tote is so cute, I love owls! My essentials are coverup and waterproof mascara, and sometimes tinted moisturizer, because I don't wear a lot of makeup in the summer. And my aviator sunglasses, they're the only pair I will wear!

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
