Three: hours it took to get from Manhattan to South Jersey yesterday morning.

Three: stops I had to make on the way. Once for fuel, once because tires were low, and once because I had a blonde moment couldn’t figure out how to de-fog the windshield.
Two: cups of black coffee it took to counter my sleep deprivation.

Five: American flags found around our shore house. We’re like, really patriotic.

Gazillion: emails I tried (and failed) to catch up on from the weekend.
Six: hours I spent working when I really wanted to be outside enjoying the beautiful day.


Seven: dollars added to my pedi so I can now always reapply my new favorite pink polish - “That’s Hot! Pink.”

120: minutes I spent glued to the TV last night watching The Bachelorette. Poor Des
Four: clams were the only thing left over from our Monday night seafood feast.

Thirty: days that flew by. Is it really almost August?
147: days until Christmas. But whose counting?
Twelve: good reasons I need to actually start riding my bike when I get back to the city.
Zero: comparisons to be made…

What’s your go-to nail polish color this summer?
Any special plans you have for this week?













I don’t have any special plans this weekend except for a possible road trip with my mom to a really, really good chocolate place in southern PA. My go-to nail polish is Shocking Pink by China Glaze. Love me some neons!
that road trip sounds like so much fun!
Having to work when it’s pretty outside is the worst. Love that pink nail polish though! My go-to polish on my toes is a bright red/pink color. I’m boring with clear finger nails because the polish always chips.
Love this! I am obsessed with Essie’s Where’s My Chauffeur? polish!
Have a beautiful week love!
LOVE that shade!!
My go-to nail polish color in the summer is Flip Flop Fantasy from China Glaze.
love this post! my go to nail polish color is this essie polish that’s sort of a mint/teal. i forget what it’s called!
Great photos! My go-to polish this summer is definitely Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Violet Lace (I think it’s called that, I definitely know it’s something lace). I also watched The Bachelorette last night and it felt so real with the situation with Brooks, I found myself almost in tears.
I love the bike quote! I’ve been rocking clear this summer, surprisingly. Between gardening, working out, and babysitting, they get chipped faster than I can keep up with! So clear makes it easy. i’m enjoying going all natural for a while!
I can’t tell you how much I miss painting my nails! At Starbucks we’re not allowed to wear any polish and I feel so deprived! Thankfully I’m not going to be working there for much longer…and you can bet that I’ll be getting a manicure as soon as I finish my last day!
Love this post, of course (:
I can’t wear nail polish because my nails feel weird when they get too long, so they are really short and nail polish looks weird on them! BUT - I have super awesome weekend plans (though not as awesome as your pictures look!) - I’m going to see Lion King (the musical) with a good friend! The first time I saw it was in NYC. I would LOVE to live there some day!
