Lakeside Fireworks and Historic Barbies…

And I’m back! I hope everyone who celebrated last week’s Fourth of July holiday and post-holiday weekend enjoyed yourselves!

OOTD: Nautical Polka Dots

The weather in my little corner of Massachusetts has been amazing these past few weeks, with high temperatures and bright, sunny days- and even when the forecast calls for rain or thunderstorms- they are either over in the blink of an eye or end up missing us entirely.
