We're All Happy - Back to School!

Kids exceedingly bored.
Kids miss school friends.
Kids can't get enough of back-to-school shopping (okay...you're all set...really).
It's the last of the sleepovers. (actually...a birthday is coming, but summer ones are the best - see above).
Parents anxious to get back to thee routine.

It's been a fabulous summer...can you believe all the gorgeous weather that we've had, since April? (dismissing Danielle and Earl's visit, of course).  Absolutely amazing!  I heard one summerer remark that it's the best she's seen in 43 years...43 years!! I hope we don't have to wait that long for another...

Alas, as Labor Day weekend rolls around - you can literally sense a change in the air...it's getting a little crisper at night, and fathers are relearning the remote control settings...football season is fast approaching.

Above:  Tory Burch for kids, Jack Wills-Edgartown tee (not for kids, but trust me - the smallish sizes are made for a tween and they are dying for them), Ralph Lauren sweater, Vineyard Vines-Edgartown Tremont Tattersall skirt, Joules waxed cotton jacket, Girls Agatha Ruiz de la Prada boots via Zappos (and after becoming a recent purchaser of Zappos...outstanding, quick delivery and customer service). Smart and classic-looking R. Williams backpack.
