Ahoy, Matey.

Sigh... It's hot.  And not just here in Summerville, Texas... but everywhere in the continental US.  I feel for you, east coast.  I really do.  100 degree weather is miserable, gross, and all-together unflattering.  Make-up melts, hair is either too limp, or a big frizzy mess.  It seems that no-one wears heat well.  So, as I sit in the central air-conditioning, sipping a Sonic Limeade, thanking the high-heavens that I'm not in my 4th-floor Cleveland oven on a day like today, I find myself perusing perfect nautical-inspired outfits for this wretched weather that is upon us.  Ahoy! and Enjoy!
