Style: Lazy Summer Days

Lazy summer days

 

Lazy Summer Days. The end of July is fast approaching and those lazy summer days are upon us.  The heat is so thick that you can almost see it. Days melt into long nights under sparkling starlit skies. This is the time of year that makes me fondly remember when I used to live on the East Coast. I  think of lazy afternoons at the cottage and evenings spent around the fire pit.

Lazy summer days

I have images of making wildflower wreaths and trying to find that perfect stick for roasting marshmallows. Days spent lounging on the beach engrossed in a great read, then taking a dip in  refreshingly cool lake water before going fishing or lounging around a bit more. Back then our daily uniform consisted of shorts and tank tops and not much else. Now of course, I would need a carefully packed tote filled with all of my essentials for the day.  I admit that I miss those busy days spent doing absolutely nothing.

What are some of your childhood memories from those lazy summer days?

    Roasting marshmallows! Me likey 🙂
    Looking back on my childhood days, we just spend the entire daytime playing.
    And yes, I admit, I guess we all miss the days when we all want to do was nothing.
    singing: “today I don’t feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed” haha!

    I’m off to bed now! Have a great weekend Caroline and to everyone else 🙂
    Hugs and kisses from ♥ missJHENZ

    1. Oh you too! I think I just miss going to the cottage.
      xo

  2. Oh! Summer on the East Coast sounds nice 🙂 When I think of summer in Arkansas, I think of spending days down by the creek with my brothers, swim meets, and going on walks at night with mom because you can’t walk during the day due to humidity!

    Kristine
    http://www.pugglewearsprada.blogspot.com

    1. Yes! No brother’s but my sister and I used to have such a great time in the water!
      xo

  3. going to Greece with my familly… every time we were staying so close to the beach. Lying in the sun all day :>
    check out my latest look:http://www.fashionglow.ro/?p=3352
    xoxo,Khloe

    1. I have similar memories of Spain and Italy….I miss those days!
      xo

  4. I was a book worm and would sit outside all day and read my Nancy Drew books. I wish I had more time to do this now…

    1. Me too! I just love reading.
      xo

  5. Well i’d say no more wedges for me. Last time i was trying to wear some, i fell down the subway staircase…*yes i do feel stupid about it* – but when i looked down my bloody knee i knew my wedges time was over. Never had taht kind of problems with the usual heels though…

    Love your glasses 🙂

    1. I think wedges are harder to walk in. I put those in the picture because they are super comfortable and I liked the colour composition but I mostly stick to heels!
      xo

    Beautiful post!

    Most of my childhood memories from the summer are in Norther Ireland :). So beautiful there and very friendly and kind people.

    http://carolinelovescoffee.blogspot.co.uk/

    1. Oh that would be so lovely! I’m sure you have some great memories!
      xo

  7. must have the sandals babe!

    1. Yay! I love them too.

  8. I love flower crowns! Especially for the summer season! 😀

  9. Lovely.

    When I was a kid we lived in Holland, MI so I have great memories of days spent on the beach…playing in waves until it hurt to breathe, making forts in the driftwood logs, walking the pier, climbing the lifeguard stand to watch the sunset…golden memories.

  10. I miss summers on the East Coast. Back In New York, we used to spend our summer weekends at the beach on Fire Island. Good times..
    xo Natasha

    1. Yeah, it must have been similar to Ontario…. those were great summers.
      xo

    1. Yay! Thanks so much….they’re pretty good….
      xo

  13. I have never tried to roast marshmallows, maybe I should :D. My childhood summer memories are all from the summer cottage that is in front of the lake, so we did row a boat and swim a lot. I also took a huge interest into insects, spiders, lizards and frogs lol 😀
    x, Lara

    1. Well you definitely need to roast some marshmallows, it’s quite the experience! Cottage at the lake sounds perfect.
      xo

    1. Thank you!
      xo

  14. miss Margaret Cruzemark

    Same thoughts here. It is really really hot in Greece and i think a night swim is not a bad idea at all. For the morning i recomend the fridge…..
