Good morning everyone! I am excited to be here with another one of my absolute faves….the talented mother/daughter duo, Kristy and Beth from Design Chic. I know many of you know and follow them religiously as I do but for those who don’t, its a must visit and I assure you will want to make it a daily habit. They combine the perfect worlds of beautiful interiors, architecture and fashion and I know I am in for a serious visual feast anytime I visit. Plus they are two uber classy stylish ladies…and its an honor to have them here today. They also got me dreaming big time about a perfect summer day with this amazing post. I am so enjoying all these amazing takes on what a perfect summer day is….thanks girls for coming by and sharing! Enough of my talking, lets welcome Design Chic and take a look at what a perfect summer day means to them………
Thanks so much, Tina, for including us in this fun guest post! We loved thinking about our perfect summer day almost as much as we love your gorgeous blog!
My perfect summer day would start at this time of the morning (or afternoon)…..
6:30 a.m. because we want to be early risers who start our day with activities like these:
The bedroom I wake up in would look something like this……
And my bathroom like this…….
A favorite beauty product I love to use during the summer……..
Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream. It’s lightly tinted and smells yummy.
And this is an ideal summer outfit that you might find me frolicking in…….
My view from my bedroom in the summer looks like this……
And of course this perfect summer day is located in………..
Beaufort, NC!
For breakfast I would indulge in……..
After I am showered, fed and revved up to start my day, I will…….
Followed by:
For lunch this is my absolute favorite summertime meal……
BLT’s on the beach!
Or maybe a picnic on a picnic boat!
O
An afternoon snack might comprise of……..
Freshly baked kale chips. So yummy!
My afternoon activity would be………
You can’t stay in the sun all day… A little shopping makes good sense.
The ideal summer drink is……..
Mint juleps, please!
This is what would be served for my ideal summer dinner……
Blackened mahi–caught that morning by my hubby–with cilantro lime quinoa.
And where I eat it might look like this…………….
A perfect summer ending to a perfect summer day would end……….
Cocktails and a bonfire on the beach with all of my friends!
The best part of my summer day is………..
Slipping in between cold sheets, after a warm bath, in a quiet house, with that good, sun-and-sand tired feeling and curling up with a good book!
Oh boy…..every one of senses is on fire! I want to be taken to this summer day N O W!!!!!!!! Could it get any better? From start to finish this is indeed a perfect summer day. And that house you have dreamt up? Something tells me your new beach house won’t be too far off. Perfect! Love the outfit, all the food though I might have to replace the kale chips with salt and vinegar chips by Cape Cod but am a willing sport so will give them a shot. And the way you chose to end this day is dreamy to me, cool sheets, a great book, and feeling sun kissed….truly doesn’t get better!! Kristy and Beth, thank you for letting me dream along with you….am sure everyone else will agree you hit it out of the park! Thank you for coming along and sharing your perfect summer day.

Wishing everyone a fabulous summer day, just wish it wasn’t flying by quite so fast!
Good morning Tina dearest! You are so gracious to hand over your page to some of the most wonderful bloggers and their styles! LOVE EVERY PHOTO HERE, and BAKED KALE CHIPS????? I must try that!!! Have a beautiful day, Anita
I think you guys are both amazing and two of my MUST READ blogs everyday! The photos and dreamy inspirations are a breath of fresh air…I love you both! Oh, and next time you do that bonfire on the beach…call me!! xo Sharon
This IS the perfect day. It has me dreaming too. That bedroom, the clothes and the idea of boating and eating all those wonderful foods with no care in the world sounds like heaven. Fun post, thanks to all three of you.
These pictures are so beautful, this post felt like therapy (and a lot cheaper). Put me in such a relaxed state of mind. I do yoga too and cannot imagine not starting my day without it.
I wish I could spend a day with Beth and Kristy…they really know how to do it. Women who like the sun, shopping enjoying a cocktail and fabulous food…are women after my own heart. Great series, Tina.
There’s so much perfection to scroll through! the bath, the view from the bedroom, reading books in your ball gown not to mention those waffles! Thanks for sharing:-)
What a dreamy day. I could be happy just waking up in that bed, staring out at that glorious view. What a perfect way to pass a summer day, such a fun post.
If there is such a thing as a perfect summer day, this is absolutely it. That view is so dreamy, what a perfect house she has created! Love the healthy food but not giving up on wonderful flavors and the ending is perfect. Nothing like feeling sunkissed and knowing the day was as good as it gets.
Wonderful! Love the last part about the warm bath and cool sheets.. good book.. heaven! Lots of healthy food here .. I’ve been hearing lots of good things about kale chips.. will have to try those!
Hi Tina… hope you are well. I have not been the best at keeping up with blogs this summer while all the kids are off from school but it is nice to spend a little time here. LOVE this post. Sounds like the perfect summer day to me too:) Blessings to you. Kim
LOVELY guest post, Design Chic, and always a pleasure to visit you, The Enchanted Home! Thanks for another lovely trip into fantasy land with this post, everyone! Have a wonderful week!
This is a perfect summer day! I love Beaufort, NC! It is such a sweet and quaint little town! I have a beach house just a few miles away from Beaufort. Beach living is the BEST!
That’s the kind of day I could enjoy all summer long! Right from waking up in the beautiful bedroom to dinner on the dock above the water, I’d soak up every second of it – along with some sun too 🙂
What a talented duo! We stayed in Beaufort, NC, about five years ago, after attending my nephew’s wedding in Atlanta. We stayed in a lovely B &B and it’s a very charming beach town! Their ideas for the perfect summer day are idyllic! Can I come along? 🙂
Just about their whole day revolved around what they would be eating or drinking! That’s why I adore them so much! 🙂 And they have superb taste! x Sharon
I am going to hold this post in my mind today as I scramble thru my last day of getting ready to head out off town to my son’s wedding. Hopefully it will keep me cool, calm and collected… Cheers, John

Love the healthy food but not giving up on wonderful flavors and the ending is perfect. Nothing like feeling sunkissed and knowing the day was as good as it gets.
I believe we might have been separated at birth.
I agree with almost all of your choices.
Wouldn’t that day be grand?
A perfect summer day… Thanks for the little break!
