Today's high here will be 97, with a heat index well into the triple digits. So I figure it's a great day to post about summer things



Over the weekend I was in Restoration Hardware, I'm not normally a fan of this store, I usually get poor customer service and for a handheld mirror for $120 it's a bit out of my budget. Fortunately there were some great things on sale so I picked up something for myself. The brown and blue Mackenzie tote.








They're on sale here for $26.99, but in store they're $18. It's a great roomy bag with cotton canvas construction with a zip top, and leather handles, perfect for a day at the beach, pool, grocery shopping and could easily stand in for an overnight bag. The smaller striped totes are also on sale, for the same prices, They're great looking too but I prefer getting more for the money size-wise.


How great are these fans? (the last one can be found here)








I have such a soft spot for a retro fan in a cage.



and summer wouldn't be complete without a hammock.







This one is pretty cool, quilted with a pillow and an oh-so-simple stand.
