It feels like Summer.
It is already so hot everyday and at the moment, it is still Spring so we are getting Speing showers. During the Summer I usually stay inside because it can literally be so hot, but because of the humidity it feels like it is 10 degrees hotter. The heat will sneak up on you fast. One of the things I love about the Tampa Bay area is that we get a lot of njce breezes especially by the Water. I stopped by my favorite park today after brunch to enjoy this ever changing view of our downtown area.
We have a lot of mangroves here in Tampa, more than actual beaches ( I am speaking only about Tampa, we have a lot of beaches in the surrounding cities). Sometimes, hanging out in the mangroves can be nice. A lot of people do this off Courtney Campbell Causeway (which I shared on Memorial Day).
This Su.mer dress is so light and airy. I love how feminine it is and how it falls on the body. Yellow is one of my favorite colors so a lot of times during the Summer when it's just so sunny I automatically think to put on yellow.
I also like to add a little sass with my favorite sunnies with the mirror lenses. These were a great buy a few years ago and I got them for a great price and you can add a prescription to them.

Onr of my favorite places for brunch is Counter Culture. Every week they have the Happening Hour, on weekends a chhanging 3 course brunch menu, and monthly, a 3 or 5 course dinner menu. Last Summer I shared the 3 course Japanese brunch and it was so popular on Tiktok surprisingly.
This is the 3 course brunch for today. A lot of times they do contain items with gluten anf a lot of times they can not be changed because it is a pre fixe menu. So, my husband had the 3 course brunch and I ordered off of the regular menu.
