Around this same time every year, I think where did the summer go, those three months that I look forward to the other 275 days of the year. It’s not just about wearing lightweight summer dresses and sandals to work, toasting cocktails at the beach and sunsets at 8:45, it’s also about the energy in the air, the faces of sun-kissed strangers on the subways and hearing the sounds of birds over the blaring horns of cabbies. This summer has been a good one and here are my absolutely favorite things I’ve picked up along the way.
