Pretty Weekend & Postscript

In honor of our Founding Fathers & the 4th of July weekend, I'm giving my carpal tunnel & creativity a mini-break away from the computer until Monday.  

This means that your usual dose of Featured Blogger Friday will be on hold until July 10th - but it's worth the wait, because the next one is HUGE.  Well, not at all literally large, but just playing on the blogging Varsity team.  Someone you'll want to know more about.  Trust me.

Until then, I will be off cruising down the Texas Riviera in an innertube, doing my best to approximate this look:


[From the frothy & gorgeous "To Catch a Thief" (1955)]

[PS - In the comments to yesterday's post, a discussion of white sunglasses came up; look who once sported a pair herself!  We may collectively need to revise our Official Stance on this . . . Edited to Add:  I'm on Team White Sunglasses myself; I love a vintage pair like these or in a more oversized, 60s look.]

Happy long weekend, darlings!

Marge said...

Sounds fantastic! Have a great holiday weekend. As for the white sunglasses... I still don't know that they can be pulled up through the ages, perhaps some things can be classic but not timeless?

Have a blast! Rock that look for sure!

Mrs. Newlywed said...

Do I need to admit I mistakenly thought white sunglasses were okay and wore them a few years ago at the pool?

I guess we all make fashion mistakes.

Have a great trip!

I actually have a pair of sunglasses that look like the ones in the Grace Kelly pic. LOVE them! I guess they don't suit everybody, but what really does? I do get a lot of compliments on them.

Grace Kelly could do no wrong. I am staying firm on the white sunglasses thing. (I have been known to wear odd things myself - so who am I to judge? LOL)

Happy 4th.

Have fun! That's what we were going to be doing, but turns out I'm going to be in Houston instead. I still really want to do this tubing though, I keep hearing so much about it!

Princess Freckles said...

I think I like the white sunglasses. Jackie O had a pair also, I believe.

Kathie @ my net finds said...

Enjoy your well-deserved break! :-)

The Blonde Duck said...

You know, I grew up here and I've still never gone tubing...

Lily G. said...

Have a fabulous time. Tubing sounds fun!

Just stumbled across your blog and loved it! Think I'll come along for the ride. I love the picture from To Catch A Thief too. Happy 4th!

Oh, I miss J4 and all those glamorous activities we Americans do, such as eating hot dogs, pitching grimy horseshoes, and blowing off our fingers. No really, I miss it lots. Amsterdam is just Amsterdam this weekend. Enjoy!

Perfectly Imperfect said...

I have a pair of white sunglasses that I wore out a couple of years ago. I actually still have them.

Sometimes I march to the beat of a different drummer. I totally thought they were awesome though!

Have a great weekend!!

Kristin said...
