The Dog Days

I tried a social experiment on myself over the weekend, which was to reclaim my life before the smartphone took it over. At first, it was difficult to combat, as my blog, is in a constant state of motion. I am incessantly checking my instagram feed, and keeping on the fashion world’s radar, enough to make your head spin. But as the hours went by, my third limb slowly disappeared and become part of my habitué. I almost forgot my phone was there. Well, almost.

Without being attached to my phone I was able to:

1. Converse with people and open up my ears even more.

2. Surf.

3. Read.

The onset of August means only one thing: Fashion month is near. But until then, it’s time to get in as many final beach days as possible. I’ve already given you the rundown on what to wear, and how to look like a sun-kissed goddess. But what about the ultimate sunbathing accessory—a book? Whether you are bound for Ibiza or the Rockaways, this is the time to dig into those yummy stories knowing you have a full month to get polish them off.
