Slipping into September

The Cape is slowly slipping into September, this most beautiful month that bridges summer into fall.  Sometimes we have a day warm enough to enjoy the beach, but evening falls most noticeably earlier and the air is most decidedly crisp. 

The purple hydrangea is the quintessential flower of this time & place. The vibrant bloom synonymous with summer colored a deeper shade for fall.

Inject a pop of Turquoise (the Pantone 2010 Color of the Year) into a Shoreside wedding? Yes, please.

Tuesday Shoesday

Summer is back with a vengeance, for at least another few days.

In so many ways, Labor Day is the end of summer. School is back in session, the summer people go back to their winter homes, the Cape becomes quiet again.

I love September and am looking forward to the onset of fall, but I can't help feeling the need to pack in as much summer in these next few days as possible.

So, for this final Tuesday Shoesday of Summer 2010,  the cutest flops to flip around in at a clambake rehearsal dinner, while getting mani/pedis, for some serious post-dinner dancing, the day-after brunch, or just  because:
