"Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.”
(Alexander Wang)
Yesterday was just one of those permanent smile, happy to be alive kind of days. My man and I headed up to my best friends' cottage for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Even though we were only 30 minutes away from home, I was so relaxed it felt like we were vacationing on a tropical beach. Playing with their life-jacket clad pugs, floating in the lake, playing board games outside, sipping wine and enjoying nature was how I spent six hours and I couldn't think of a better way to unwind and enjoy some Emily (+crew) time!
What made the day even more special was knowing that this is the last weekend for at least a month that I will be able to relax (travelling for work next weekend & then moving, unpacking & setting up the new house for many weekends to come!)
How do you mellow out on your days off?
Cute outfit ! Love the bracelet a lot ! Looks like a fun day !

Great photos! It looks like you had a fun time :) I think rivers, lakes and beaches are the best places for me to unwind. I just love the being by the water and enjoying the views and sounds. Thanks for sharing your weekend!
ReplyDeleteemily, what a joyful day! those pj bottoms look like fancy shorts. :) superb styling. holy hotness in your bikini. have you ever done a blog post about your tattoo? if so, will you send me a link?
ReplyDeleteHoly bikini body! Cottages are the best. A few minutes outside of the city and on the lake can be so calming. But I love the polka-dotted shorts :)

ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day off. You look smokin' in your bikini girl - way to go!! I adore that those cute, cute shorts are actually PJs. It looks more natural than my attempt to wear sleepwear out (http://asecondglanceblog.blogspot.ca/2011/07/how-to-wear-sleepwear-to-summer-concert.html)
