I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Say hello to summer with an ice cream social.
Ice cream carts are available through party rental suppliers.
A playful idea to entertain friends at home. Shop for vintage crystal glasses at thrift stores, between 50 cents and $2 each.
Stay cool at the ice cream social in a maxi dress.
Offer various toppings for guests to add to their cones and sundaes. Add a refreshing twist to champagne on a summer day with a champagne float.
Have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you’re enjoying this beautiful Independence Day with family and friends. We started the celebration early last night. Between thunderstorms, we enjoyed a beautiful family dinner to kick of the celebration.
Thank you to our veterans and military for their service. Have a safe and fun Independence Day.
I’m getting excited to celebrate Independence Day. I’m joining family in NYC. What to wear to party it up? Of course, something red, white and blue. I like this JCrew skirt. It’s comfy and has a little stretch.
Mixing men’s wear with a feminine touch is my favorite look. The red-check Lands’ End shirt and JCrew polka-dot skirt is a fun mix. Let’s get the party started.

Take advantage of July 4th sales. Set the table in red, white and blue with patriotic accessories.
These items are fun and affordable. A stripe straw makes a drink festive any day of the week.

Good morning. Happy Monday to you. Sometimes you have to make your own sunshine.

When the weather is hot and I want something effortless and stylish to wear, I could always count on a white shirt to keep me cool and polished. A summer essential, the classic white shirt, is sexy, chic and fun. This weekend I’ll pick up one or two more white shirts for the hot summer days ahead.
