Happy Monday, friends! It seems like we were cheers’ing the weekend a mere five minutes ago, doesn’t it? And now, here we are — back to our Monday routines. In the interest of keeping the weekend going a few minutes longer, I’d thought I’d share some things I’m loving at the moment.
1. White nail polish: I talked about some of my favorite summer nail polish colors last week, but I finally purchased a white shade from OPI’s line and have been rocking it ever since. While my grandmother may not understand my fondness for the color, Alpine Snow is giving my coral crush a run for its money this season.
2. Fresh flowers: I always love going to Trader Joe’s and admiring their blooms. They have such pretty flowers. And while I’m not too good about keeping them alive (hence I rarely buy fresh flowers), it’s nice to take in their color and scents while I do my shopping in the store.
3. Floral sundresses: You may remember this dress from a post I did last year shortly after buying it at Old Navy. Well, this beauty made its official debut at lunch this past Friday. Don’t you just love how well it looks with one of my favorite Snapchat filters?
4. Sangria: Ever since I was in Portugal in 2011, Sangria has been my drink of choice. Nothing is as refreshing in the summer as a nice cold glass of white sangria with lots of fruit!
5. Summer days down at the farm: It has been many years since I’ve called myself an avid equestrian, but lately I’ve been enjoying stopping at the barn and spending an afternoon in the company of equines. This past weekend, after taking my beloved Tim for a walk, I made friends with this guy above who was hoping I had a treat for him!
What are some things you’re loving right now?
Cool fresh early mornings on my deck with a cup of coffee, my dogs, flowers & the birds. The world before everyone is up making noises!
That sounds like a great way to start the day, Sue! Enjoy!
I just picked up some peonies at Trader Joe’s yesterday. They smell sooo good! Love your floral sundress. It’s the perfect piece for summer 🙂

Thanks, Kate! I’m so glad I finally got to wear this sundress. I bought it last year for my trip to California and it never saw the light of day.
I LOVE that white polish! I might have to switch out my pink shades, too!

Thanks, Samantha!
Ha! You must think I’m a total idiot. When I saw that floral crown on Insta, I thought it was real. Guess I’m going too fast through my feed. Lol! You look gorgeous in that shot and loving that nail polish. I might need to try it. I think I could get into some sangria this summer!

I love this, Vanessa! You’ve inspired me to do a similar post. I’ve been enjoying lots of things so far in June, so it’s nice to break it down to 5 things. I’m also a big fan of sangria 🙂 Have a great week, Angharad x

Thanks, Angharad! There’s so much to enjoy with this beautiful weather.
Two thumbs up for sangria…it’s the perfect summer drink! I’m also loving your white nails, they’re very chic!
Sangria is the best, Kasie! I’m so happy it’s sangria season.
I’m loving white nail polish a lot these days too! So perfect for summer. My favorite is Deborah Lippmann’s Amazing Grace — need to try your OPI shade next!

I’m obsessed with white nail polish right now, Ashley! Thanks for the recommendation — I’ll have to give the polish you suggested a try. You can never have too many white nail polishes, right?
