Savoring The Last Days Of The Season

Wow, I'm in awe at how fast this year is racing by. Fall is just around the corner, and although I absolutely adore the crisp air, beautiful leaves and fall fashion, I can't help but be a little sad to see summer coming to an end. Luckily, we still have a few more Summer Fridays on the calendar to indulge in before the chaos that comes with Fall unfolds. 

In order to soak up all the summer vibes I can, I am focusing on romanticizing my life in small, but meaningful ways. I have two more summer trips on the books - but with the delta variant sweeping the globe, a week-long getaway is no longer a guarantee. So this week, my summer goals are simple: 

1. Create a magical space to enjoy my meals outdoors 

2. Turn my backyard into a faux-tropical oasis 

3. Spend more time outside while working on creative projects, quietly reading or flipping through an inspiring magazine (preferably in the backyard hammock or in the shade in the neighborhood park).

I'm not setting any crazy, unattainable goals or creating an overwhelming bucket list for the end of fall. I'm simply just trying to enhance my surroundings and enjoy what I have and where I am. We are going to blink and it's going to be the holidays, so we might as well savor these long, warm and slow days while we can. I hope my little list encourages you to make one for yourself. And I'd love to learn how you plan to embrace the last days of summer. 

Here are a few things on my wish-list/I've recently purchased to help me take my spaces to the next level and feel like I'm on a luxurious vacation. 

For backyard entertaining, poolside fun, leisurely reading
