How gorgeous is this new print from Tory Burch?! So soft, feminine and fresh for summer! I’m tempted to get both the dress and the swimsuit for poolside and everyday looks this season. Even though I don’t have a pool, I do have a covered patio where I’ll be able to enjoy al fresco cocktails soon enough… In case you missed it, I’m making some changes to the patio and backyard at the new house! They’ve made real progress in the last two weeks, and I’m so eager to be able to use it again. My covered patio is quite small, so to increase the amount of useable space they’re extending it by adding concrete slabs to the back fence. There will also be a large section of the yard dedicated to artificial turf for Reeses! Along the house and fence we’ll have boxwoods and various plants + trees, but otherwise the backyard will be open and clean for Reeses to run around and play without getting dirty. I’m thrilled about that!

I’ll be sure to share more as they finalize things in the backyard, but in the meantime be sure to watch this Instagram highlight for all of the updates thus far! We’ll probably wait several months to begin adding the plants, as things are still so expensive and backordered because of the winter storm. I’m just excited to be able to use the backyard again!
