Is this blazer ablaze, or what?! Man, I crack myself up. I also can’t stop, won’t stop with my love of “rorange” this summer. This blazer is red enough that I think it counts as repping the ol’ red, white, and blue just in time for the Olympics.

Is everyone enjoying the Olympics so far? It’s crazy how fast these people can swim. And I bet it’s even faster than it looks on TV. I wish I could go to the pool with Michael Phelps just to get a true sense of how fast he is. I’m pretty sure he would get to the other end and back, and I would still be standing by the edge. Granted, that’s because I would be pouring a margarita. I mean, you can’t go the pool without a pool-appropriate beverage, right? Right. So by the time I prepped, poured, and sipped my marg, got in the pool 2 inches at a time, and swam halfway across, Michael would’ve burned 1000 calories and I would feel like a complete joke. Still, I think it would be a cool experience. I’m going to go ahead and start carb loading in preparation.

When you’re 5’3″, no one’s ever going to use the phrase “legs for days” to describe you. (Anyone who does is probably just trying to get in your pants…your “cropped” pants that you’re wearing as normal pants.) But I’m using the phrase about myself in a totally literal sense, and that’s why I added “bare.” I have had bare legs 3 days in a row. And it’s been magical. A little chilly in the morning, but absolutely worth it. It was even worth shaving off all the hair I’ve grown since November. OK, I’m exaggerating, but not very much.

Hope you all get some sunshine on your skin this weekend!
