This week's Summer Style Secrets are coming from Catherine
of The Shiny Pebble!
Havaianas - the original flip flops, created in Brazil. Every year I buy a couple and they never wear out. So I have a pretty extensive collection. I bought these peacock silver ones this year.
You can find them here
Get a haircut
Summer free hair is easily achieved with a short do. Most days in the summer I don't even blow dry my hair… just wash, spray with something silky and go.
Go shop for some cute, inexpensive Summer Dresses at Steinmart or Kohls .
The Shiny Pebble's Summer Lemonade
I had a variation of this drink at the River Café (River Cafe) at Prince's Island Park in Calgary.
Combine: Tbsp of Honey, Juice of half lemon, Sprig of rosemary
Add: Ice, Perrier water (or some other fizzy water), A few raspberries
Drink it with a straw, so you can mix as you go and enjoy the sweet honey first and then drink up the refreshing sparkling water.

Thanks Catherine!

That summer drinks looks delicious indeed!
And I also should get my hair cut this summer, too;-)
That lemonade looks so refreshing! I love her list.
I like her simple, but fabulous list. Fresh lemonade is such a summer treat! I'll have to try hers! Also, I too, live in my Havaianas during the summer months.
Such a great Summer list.
Summer just isn't summer without Havaianas :)
Amazing sister threw her havaianas in the dishwasher...said they came out sparkling, much better than the washing machine.
Will definitely try the lemonade...thanks Zhush!
Great secrets. Thanks!
Refreshing! I too can't make it through a summer day without slipping on one of my pairs of Havianas!!
yep yep haircut... need to schedule one asap.
thanks for the summery inspiration. need to head out to the beach more often. its almost over :-(
nice to have met you (through mon)
A simple sundress and some flip flops - that's my kind of Summer Style! Great post and ideas from Catherine!
Catherine is absolutely fabulous!! I keep my hair shorter in the summer and live in dresses :)
Cannot wait to try that lemonade!
Love the idea of a summer haircut. May have to go out and get one before August ends!
The drink sounds delicious! When I think of summer I think of a good book and a fun drink!
I am definitely trying that drink... I like anything fizzy! xo
I'm going to follow the tip for putting the havianas in the dish washer.
I love my Havainas! And I love her ode to summer- so fitting and just right for August.
i want this summer limonade:)
Yes, dresses everyday -- such a delight!
I agree with the lemonade and the cute summer dresses! I do both of those pretty much every summer day!
Have a lovely summer day!
I live in dresses, even though people think I'm 12! I did the short hair for locks of love a couple of summers ago and my neck was loving the literal weight of my shoulders and breezy exposure. Again, I looked like I was 12 turned 10. I adore people with short hair and I adore this perfect little list :)
Thanks for sharing the lemonade recipe!:D
I agree, it's better to have short hair during the summer.:D Wash and go!:D
