My favorite Flip Flops and the perfect Summer Dress

Happy Monday! Summer vacation is officially here and we are loving it. No 6 a.m. alarm, the sun is shining and we are having a lazy morning watching World Cup soccer and heading to the pool later with a picnic lunch.

Getting dressed is so easy this time of year. I love just dresses this time of year. You slip it on and you are done. Instant outfit! This embroidered cotton dress has been a favorite of mine for a few years now. J.Crew keeps bringing back an updated version every summer and for good reason. This dress is adorable, comfy, lined AND has pockets! It is pure summer dress perfection and is also currently on sale (40% off today with code DAD). You can shop it here.

This outfit is definitely on my summer uniform rotation. The havaiana flip flops are also a major summer essential. I have a few pairs at the ready. They are the best flip flops. I always get the gold ones and they are truly so comfortable. It is like walking on marshmallows. They go everywhere with me – pool, beach, vacation…. and the gold version is dressy enough to get away with at a restaurant.

Weekend Recap

Our first official summer weekend was great. It was our 16th wedding anniversary and we also celebrated Father’s Day with a big BBQ at our house. The weather was divine. My boys kicked off their vacation with a tubing trip with all of their friends and I enjoyed lunch with a friend at a local dock bar, having the Maryland signature summer cocktail, the Orange Crush. Pure Bliss!
