Summer According to iPhone

I generally bring my big camera with me for all major outings for potential photo-ops, but sometimes it's not allowed or I feel like being attempting to be stylish and ladylike with a bag that holds less than three cubic feet of stuff. In these instances I turn to my Swiss Army phone, and frankly, this thing takes better pictures than any of my previous cameras. Plus it helps me to do so many other awesome things* like...

And you can make calls with it! Amazing. But I digress. Point is, sometimes I take pictures with my phone and then forget that they are there. I will try to be more vigilant going forward, but for now you're stuck with my whole summer as seen by my iPhone. Consider this my back-to-school, "what I did over summer vacation" visual essay.

This summer...

I kicked the season off with Memorial Day weekend in San Francisco for Jimmy and Kisha's wedding.

I did some shopping.  Another great feature of the smartphone - dressing room feedback. 

{This outfit was sister-approved via text message and then purchased.}

{These shoes got an "eh" and were not purchased.}

I loved Lucy.

{And Lucy loved Dog Beach.}

{She also loves rolling in the sand.}

I soaked up Vermont and celebrated Mike and Erin's wedding.
