It is late again and I was just lost in a world of researching and making a list of some of my wishlist items. Most are older pieces or vintage so I’ll have to make a point of searching often just in case I miss something. I’ll share the list with you once I nail it down.

Last week I had a post about what to pack for a weekend trip in the summer, and this week it is focused on a longer vacation when it is hot, hot, hot.

I am wearing a striped bodysuit, tan blazer, high waist jeans, and Prada Loafers.

I am wearing an oversized white button up, Levis, dad sandals, a blue Zara purse, and Le Spec cat eye sunglasses.

I am wearing an Anine Bing sweatshirt, wide leg jeans, blue velvet blazer, Prada Loafers, and a Chanel bag.

I am wearing grey trousers, a grey t-shirt, black sweater, Oversized moto, and Converse.

I made a killer baked ziti tonight. I used this recipe but in reality, I just used it for the cheese topping recipe and cooking temp/time. I used my own spaghetti sauce recipe that I have been using for years and I believe is amazing.

My family seems to love it too so I am not just blowing smoke up my own ass 😉

I am not sure why the US made a weekend that is for remembering those that died, into something that is so focused on sales, shopping, and celebration. It would be like us making Remembrance Day a big shopping holiday.

It’s weird.

I am starting back small. I don’t want to startle anyone away with the packing lists resurgence, but in reality, when I look at my blog analytics, it shows a growth in people searching for packing ideas.

I am assuming this means that a lot of people are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel to the last year+, and are planning out some travel ideas.

I am wearing a black tiered midi dress, black dad sandals, a bum bag, and Le Spec Sunglasses

I am wearing a black cropped t-shirt, track pants, and dad sandals

I call this week’s series of outfits the “what I wore during a heatwave because I don’t wear shorts.” I am happy to say that the temperature normalized today, so I got to wear layers again.

Have you found a good summer bag yet? I have been on the hunt for one, but I am not sure if I want to do the woven basket bag thing or not.

As I was sitting here typing this the building’s air conditioning kicked in, so hallelujah I will be able to sleep in comfort tonight. It was a hot few days that I thought was going to continue until at least Monday or Tuesday.

I know I bitch about the heat a lot but jeez, I’d love to live in a temperate city. 18°C is my ideal, so I’m not really sure where that would be but if I had the means and the ability I’d move in a heartbeat.
