We’re looking forward to beach clambakes and bonfires, bicycle rides to the farmers market and a few crazy moments thrown into the mix. We’re not looking forward to dressing up in order to grab breakfast at Golden Pear, two lane traffic jams and gaining 10 pounds from eating fresh Tates cookies.
This week started out fabulously. Remember I mentioned a giveaway that I won and then lost? Well, I won it again! I received a Brighton-inspired Floral Weave Bracelet from Finders Keepers Jewelry Monday afternoon.

Then on Tuesday, the lovely lady over at Park Avenue Princess tagged me with the One Lovely Blog Award:

This woman embodies UES glam. She is the perfect mix of Audrey and Charlotte. Check her out if you haven’t already.
And because you all provided such love and support to Husby and me last Friday, I’m giving everyone who commented on that post this award. Thanks again to everyone. I couldn’t ask for better bloggy friends. You guys rock.
Yesterday, I decided to fake tan for our upcoming weekend at the beach. Maybe I should have test run it first. The lady, who vehemently told me that the solution will NOT turn darker, convinced me that she needed to spray twice in order to give me “a little color.” I now look like a LesLo oompa loompa wannabe. Just add a white hat and I’m set.
And finally, after much goading, I’m now twittering away. Let’s face it, who doesn’t want to be a fly on the wall in the H.I.T. household?
Happy 4th of July weekend!

Sounds like a fun weekend in the Hamptons. Enjoy it!
Have a great weekend.
I'm glad you got the bracelet again.
And, welcome to twitter.
Hope you have a great trip :)
Congrats on both wins! Have a great weekend! I've always wanted to visit the Hamptons. I imagine its lovely. I think I'd really just like to hang out at the Barefoot Contessa's house!
So jealous! Have an amazing time!!!
Welcome to Twitter! Glad you went with the "if everyone else is doing it" logic.. it's always good! Have a fabulous weekend! I've always wanted to go to the Hampton's!
Chicago is the exact opposite in the summer. People try not to leave on the weekends (since we have such harsh winters) plus add all the tourists into that mix and it's a crazy atmosphere :)
Have a great weekend!
Have fun in the Hamptons! :)
It's funny, I was *just* contemplating booking a spray tan in anticipation of this weekend's "Riviera" adventures. You have me reconsidering things, to say the least.
Have a wonderful weekend at the beach!
Sounds like a great weekend!
Cute bracelet, and have a wonderful weekend in the Hamptons, I've never been but have always admired it!
Congrats on the award! Have a great time in the Hamptons and I hope it isn't too crowded and tiresome. I don't really "get" twitter but it's so popular. My solution has been to have an account that I kinda sorta remember to update.
Love the bracelet...jealous! And I'm cracking up at your oompa loompa comment.
ohh wish i was going to the hamptons :) so jealous! and i wont be in the city until september so if there are any blogger meet ups then, please let me know i would love to attend! have a wonderful weekend dear!
Next time you wanna "fake" it try the Aveeno gradual self tanner. It doesn't smell and gives a really natural color. "What do you get when your kid is a brat?" Ah ha ha. I love me some oompa loompas.
i'm so jealous! i wish that i was able to go to the hamptons...i'm from the city too but currently living in paris so i won't complain too much haha. happy 4th of july
have fun in the hamptons!!! happy 4th!!
