My Summer Essentials —MAV My Summer Essentials: pretty much stays the same every year. Let’s start with what you would find in my bag … ~ a linen towel (Never know when you might swim or sit on damp grass with a cool drink.) ~ a water bottle (If you think I drink tons of water in other seasons summer has me drinking like a mad woman.) ~ sunscreen (I’m a real stickler for SPF 30.) ~ sunglasses (Always.) ~ a little camera (Always.) ~ a notebook (Summer is when I think of my best ideas so I have to be on the ready at all times.) Beyond the bag my Summer Essentials include … ~ fruit (I really don’t eat fruit in the winter or even spring but in the summer it’s all I can think about morning, noon and night.) ~ my nephews (Always love them more than anything ever {as of two weeks ago I now have two!} but in the summer we can play outside … life doesn’t get much better.) ~ swimming in ponds (Can’t get enough swimming and I’m a real sucker for ponds … don’t even mind the murk!) ~ stripes and patterns (I’m not usually one for a lot of pattern but in the summer I like to mix it up. This year in particular I have definitely been feeling the mash-up.) ~ sunsets (Come on now. What else can be said?) I wish you a wonderful mid-Summer, friends. See you back here very soon. : : : Please note: We are now on Summer Holiday. We will be back August 12, 2011. When we return look for some exciting news including a new look for 3191 Miles Apart, new collaborations and an update on the return of our beloved publication ‘3191 Quarterly’. See you in August! —MAV Share TWITTER FACEBOOK TUMBLR PINTEREST EMAIL
