STYLE:
I’ve been pouring over Lee’s extensive post about packing for a trip to Europe. I’m not going anytime soon (dang!) but I’m feeling inspired by her chic, sophisticated travel looks.
Amal Clooney gives us an updated airport look. Could you pull this one off?
90s Brad Pitt Is My Summer Style Icon. Yes to all of this.
SUMMER SALES:
Need Supply has some nice summer reductions happening right now, including these super cute ‘car wash’ jeans and this ivory top by Black Crane.
Nisolo is kicking off a big sale on Monday and that means some of my favorite shoes will be at a reduced price, including the huaraches! A bonus for Seasons + Salt readers, you can use the code ANDREA10 through Friday, 7/27 to save an extra 10%.
LIFE:
The thing about pursuing a low waste lifestyle (for me at least) is that I constantly need to be refreshed and encouraged, by reading how other people are doing it. A lesson in the 5Rs of zero-waste is going a long way for me right now!
5 Things to Let Go of In Order to Embrace Contentment and Simplicity. Wise words from the always-relevant Joy Forney, including what is the point of simplifying, from a spiritual perspective?
Any Stranger Things fans in the house? Did you see this clever teaser for season 3?
So I saw your stranger things post, and wanted to tell you I just met Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) the other day. Apparently he lives in my neighborhood in Atlanta. Also I’ve been to a few parties with Steve (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) who also live in my neighborhood. Its so funny to see them out and about. None of my friends watch Stranger Things so I can never gush over it with them.
That is wild! I feel like there is more of a story there! How did you end up crossing paths with all them?!?
They all just live in the neighborhood. I met David and his girlfriend Alison Sudol when they were walking their new puppy. I’ve got a great dane and walk him daily so Moose and their puppy gave each other sniffs. I started talking with them about dogs, etc and realized it was him. Super cool- especially since I hardly ever recognize “famous” people. The younger cast members are just randomly friends of friends and neighbors. Not sure how they became friends, but in the South you just start chatting with folks and then invite them to stuff.
My neighborhood is pretty small and the houses are all close together. Most people know most other people in the neighborhood. We also have lots of different enighborhood parties and things like a christmas crawl progressive dinner, live music in our little park weekly, a “prom”, new neighbor parties, a giant bluegrass and chili eating festival. It’s a pretty cool area. Very small town big city.
There have been a couple of actors and people who have lived in the neighborhood…Ian Somerholder, I think Jason Momoa from Game of Thrones lived here for a short bit, etc.
Thank you so much for your support Andrea.
Let me know if you ever want to go “Zero Waste grocery shopping” with me someday or share another activity with me, like a DIY. You name it!
Now I wasn’t familiar with the car wash trend but did stumble upon this gem during my research: http://d2a2wjuuf1c30f.cloudfront.net/product_photos/17898273/extreme_20shredded_20jeans_original.jpg
