Nautical

Another summer and the discovery of another superb patio!  This time in the Larchmere district off of Shaker Square, Bon Vivant.  I’m quite certain I could have stayed there all afternoon; a quaint oasis in the midst of a bustling city street.  The perfect setting to enjoy the company of friends, a cocktail and the warm sun peeking through the foliage and umbrellas of the patio.

I have to admit I’m a lucky girl as I have a good noggin to don a hat. I often wish they would make a comeback, I think of all the time I’d save styling my hair!  For me hats are really more about function as this porcelain skin does not like UV rays, and a hat is instant and stylish sunscreen.

If you’ve been following along you’ve seen a few of my outfit details before, the shoes here and the clutch here.  I know I’ve made a good purchase decision when I get a lot of use out of an item.

I hope you’ve been taking advantage of every ounce of summer.  Thank you for stopping by.

Cheers!
