What defines summer for you?

- sunglasses
- showing more skin
- white
- a golden (fake) tan
- colourful nail polish
- shorts
- flowy tops
- thong sandals

 

- The smell of salt water
- Going to the beach (which, I suppose, goes hand in hand with the first item on my list)
- Disneyland (I usually visit during the summer)
- Hats
- Sunscreen
- Watching ferries come and go

And, of course, the sudden burst of insects and arachnids like wasps and spiders.

 

- the smell of coconut
- beach - and obviously sand
- maxi dresses in bright colours with sandals and a bright pedicure
- big sunglasses and straw bags
- mojitos
- swatting mosquitoes away and putting out citronella scented candles to try and keep them at bay

 

jewellery.
linen.
electric fans.
sandals.
the sound of crickets.
late night talks in my porch.
baggy dresses.
my morning jacket (summer music eh).

 

This, too - at the moment, I think there's about nine fans going in my house. My home isn't able to be installed with an air conditioner system (which I'm reminded of every day), so it's that or bake in the heat. My thermographic camera said my windows yesterday were over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Don't you just love summer?

 

Porch swings
Real lemonade
Home-grown tomatoes, still warm from the sun

 

Blueberries, watermelon, fried chicken ...

 

I forgot about blueberries and raspberries too.

 

the beach
lemonade and ice coffee
flat sandals
summer dresses and skirts
shorts
sunglasses
certain smells- coconut, the hair stuff you use on the beach, sun lotion

 

I agree - and I'm a strict vegetarian.

 

Clothes:
Cotton sundresses and skirts
Linen
Thongs (flipflops )
Colourful beads
Simple, loose, comfortable clothing that can be worn to the beach and possibly out afterwards

Staying out (or up) all night due to the weather
Long days spent at the pool/beach
Staying in and watching the cricket
Watching the tennis
Bare feet on hot sand/bitumen
Bumming round the house in bathers or a singlet and undies
Sunscreen smell
Reef oil smell (not that I use it anymore, it's a childhood smell!)

 

walking on bare feet on the street. LOVE that feeling. i wish i could walk bare feet all day (how brigitte bardot in Et Dieu... Crea la femme)

 

Sun I is summer here, but it's 17 °C and raining the whole day

 

Gladiators, Jean Cut-Offs, Floral Dresses, Missoni Bikinis, Quirky Sunglasses, Fringe, and soft The Row tshirts

 

shorts, bright colored bikinis, flip flops, tank tops

ocean, beach, vacation
I summer!

 

Working 70-80 hours a week, never sleeping, not seeing friends, a billion customers, knowing you went straight from exams to working a billion hours a week for two months and then knowing you only have 2 days off before school starts again...oh yes, I love summer

Summer is money for me

 

yeah it all suddenly becomes so different when you start to work..

 

Reviving this after two-year hibernation!.

Salt Water-esque sandals in bright colors (cherry, yellow) for this summer in particular.
The smell of lemons
Chloé's EDP
Crisp white tops/shirts
Headwraps
Ultra loose tanks
Fresh figs
Taking a 40-minute train ride for Thai iced tea at my favorite Thai restaurant, so annoying but so worth it.
The smell of freshly-cut grass. More a spring thing but considering I can't smell anything from March-June due to allergies, this can only be enjoyed once summer officially kicks in!.

 

Ah, summer!

Sunglasses.
Shorts and slippers.
No need to bring a jacket with you.
Straw hats.
Insane humidity followed by rain and thunder (I love a nice thunderstorm after a hot humid day).
