Summer Things I'm Loving

Just a few things I've been enjoying lately!

Beach reading: Why of course, Jane Green's latest novel, Beach House! First, I love the cover of a book. I so judge a book by it's cover (ha!) in bookstores and libraries.

Anyway, I really like Jane Green and this is just a "plow through sitting on the beach, relaxing vacation" read. A huge list of characters, set in Nantucket and there are quite a few plot twists (not the most realistic, but hey! who cares). The descriptions of Nantucket made me want to summer there, now. The characters were interesting and she brings in the whole discussion of developing a beach community.

A good, solid fun read!

I'll be honest, when I started reading Jennifer Weiner's latest, I didn't like the characters. Told from a mother's perspective (remember Good in Bed? Weiner follows the life of her main character in this novel) and her teenage daughter's perspective. I remembered Good in Bed and was curious to see how the plot would play out. Then, I remember how it was to be 13 and seriously annoyed with my mother and life and how everything was confusing. And I feel in love with the characters. By the end, I had cried and laughed. If you're in the mood for a mother/daughter REALISTIC relationship novel - check this out! I really enjoyed it.



It's hard to see here but Neutrogena is making Grapefruit face wash and body wash. YUM! I love the face wash and it is perfect for summer and invigorating in the morning.



Loving this little adorable jacket from Ann Taylor Loft. It's a little too warm for jackets right now, but I'm definitely ordering this - great color and I love the structure of it - just what I've been looking for the fall!

Eyebobs.com! I love their funky selection of eyeglasses - I think these are my favorites. And I just like saying eyebobs.

Oh goodness, Haagen Dazs Raspberry Sorbet. Like heaven on a hot summer day - the flavors and textures are perfect, I could eat a pint for dinner alone!
