The Last of the Summer Abs

I can't believe it's August already.  As teachers, we live for summer, only to have them fly by and before you know it we're back to school.  I haven't spent much time by the pool this summer, I admit sadly, but I know some of you are getting your last minute tans on.  With that being said, here's some inspiration for you to get those bikinis on and enjoy the last few weeks of summer.

And, in case you're looking, what better way to enhance that gorgeous stomach then with a silver belly ring?  I'm dying for either of these.  What do you think?

Fashion Friday Sheer Beauty

Another week has come and gone, can you believe it?  I can't believe I've been in Colorado for 3 weeks already!  I'm loving the area and feel so comfortable here.  It's a bit hot today, but the people are so friendly and there's a ton to do.  Since It's so hot, it seems everything I own and wear lately is sheer.  I feel like I own twenty of the same shirt, but they're so cute with a tank underneath and some fabulous jewelry.  

Before you take a look at some of my picks, get your Fashion Friday posts ready so you can link up with me!

Fashion Friday Strapless or Tube Top?

It's Fashion Friday!  It's been hot everywhere it seems lately.  When I got to Colorado a few weeks ago, it was 100 degrees and they were having record-breaking temps.  It's cooled down a bit here, but now I hear in California it's about 105.  I hate the extreme heat!  When it's this hot, the only comfortable thing to wear, (besides nothing of course lol), is a cute strapless or tube top and shorts.  I found a few I love...check them out:

Aren't they adorable?  I'm dying for one, but there aren't that many stores out there that have a lot of selection.  Any ideas where I can get one?

Eye for Eyelet

Nothing says summer like a girly, eyelet fabric.  It's light, airy, and perfect with a tan.  I'm dying to get some eyelet shorts.  Do you any eyelet pieces you love?
