I wish that I could say this is where I am spending my summer writing this post after a long hiatus (which I do apologize!) The last two months have been quite a bit. School ending, my baby bro graduating from high school, adjusting to one of our long time employees and a good friend leaving, it seems like I would never pick up my laptop again and write.

But as any good writer knows, you should write every day, even if you don’t want to because it’s supposed to help you, or so I’ve heard.

Finally June, it seems like we all can take a breather and even if we can’t take that long weekend vacation that we oh so desire, we can at least go to the Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual sale this weekend! Two for one bras anyone? 

What’s the best thing you love about the Semi-Annual Sale?

I think that I’ve paid off my Victoria’s Secret credit card about three times now, and still wish I could rack it up without consequences! Then again don’t we all.

One of the things I think I detest about summer is that I want to buy all new clothes and know that my credit cards shouldn’t be let out of my Kate Spade wallet, that hasn’t gotten that much attention or gotten out in awhile.

Do you get that summer temptation for new clothes, cuter clothes, because last summer you were a completely different person with completely different taste and now, you’re more grown up and want a style to fit your mood and your attitude, plus cute outfits for date night!

I don’t know if any of you have been by Target lately to see their new Rivera or The Webster lines, but they are cute with a capital C. Miami chic inspired they are perfect for the beach or vacation at a price that will make any girl happy, even guys. Mike bought a pair of white pants, cotton blend, amazing feel, only 30 bucks! And as many of you girls know, shopping with your guy can be a bit of a hassle because they are pickier than we are!

This summer is filled with great fashion picks with money left over to take that week vacation and show of your new looks and possibly get a tan poolside while reading something of substance…I.E. NOT Fifty Shades of Grey.

The Webster for Target

Which I do want to mention, for he gets little press in the U.S, my favorite author of all time, Elliot Perlman, has just released his new book The Street Sweeper, after nine years. It took him 5 years to write the book, an epic novel I might add which I think all of you should go out and buy right now because it is amazing. Don’t get discouraged by the length, it is about 700 pages but you will not be disappointed with this novel.

So now, back after a two month hiatus, Literate & Stylish is back, and I could not be more pleased. For all of you who were checking and looking back to see if anything was written in the past I’m sorry; but writing is back for the summer and more local artists are to come in the future!

Happy Reading!
