I love summer.
I love that I can chuck on my flowing florals and Havaianas and call it an outfit. I don’t care if my hem lines are a bit shorter than usual, or my fabric choices slightly more transparent than I’d normally wear.
I love that my main accessory is sunnies.
I like it when my freckles appear and my hair lightens a shade or two. I embrace my summer bun coiffure and I don’t fight with my natural curl.
I don’t curse my dry summer skin or the close attention I pay to de-fuzzing and moisturising.
Dangers aside, I love when the sun beats down on my shoulders and when finding shade is such relief. I love it when the sun goes away but the heat lingers into the night.
I get a few pedis in the summer. I wear colour in the summer. I drink sav blanc in the summer. I’m happier in the summer.
I eat better, stay more hydrated, rise earlier and feel healthier.
I come alive in the summer.
Like Rhonda.
This year my summer is starting earlier than usual, with a week up on the GC.
Yep, the Robos are heading north for a bit of fun in the Queensland sun. A pre-summer escape for my Ketut and I, after fairly hectic and shitty episode in life.
Although I blog anonymously, if you notice a tired looking, floral-clad mother, with a couple of varicose veins on her right thigh and a bit of a winter muffin top, I invite you to crack a smile.
If could very well be me.
Linking up as always with my Lizards in The Lounge, this week over at Falling Face First.
Love,
Robo X

Have a great break – there is something about summer, when the sun comes out, the load lightens – at least in my head.
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
I feel the same way!
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
sounds great, we’re planning on a few days at the beach ourselves, have a great time
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
I will. You have fun too!
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
Enjoy your break. Sounds deserved!
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
Can’t wait to stop work and finally get there 😉

Nice change to hear someone rejoicing in Summer. Everyone in family hates it with a passion. Have a fabulous time. I’m sure you’re way hotter than Rhonda. xo
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
How can you hate summer?! 😉
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
I love the warmer months as well, though they are a little different to the ones you describe. Luckily for me the weather is warm enough for florals all year round. Have a wonderful get away lovely, filled with fairy wishes and butterfly kisses

Your climate would be hard to get used to being so hot all the time.
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
Be sure to have a sav blanc for me 😉
September 13th, 2013 at 20:51
For you, I will do better than that!
September 12th, 2013 at 20:51
Enjoy your break Robo – you’ve earned it. I am SO excited summer’s on its way again. I’m the same. I exist in stasis until I can thaw out properly again. X
September 13th, 2013 at 20:51
There’s just something about the heat… X
September 13th, 2013 at 20:51
Enjoy Robo! I’m on the Goldie for a few days at the moment & it’s none too shabby! 🙂
September 13th, 2013 at 20:51
Enjoy the GC! Have a blast! X

I love the way the warmer weather makes me feel. Have a great time away!

Thank you!
September 13th, 2013 at 20:51
I am sooo with you. Summer is the best!
Have a wonderful time in QLD. Sometimes to get over a period of crapness, the best solution is to shower yourself with fabulousness!
September 13th, 2013 at 20:51
Too true! ;o)
September 13th, 2013 at 20:51
Yep I agree, summer is awesome. Enjoy your holiday 🙂
