a blogging break also? a hello monday: beach edition {19}

Otherwise titled as Hello Monday: The Beach Edition {19}

First off, yes...I'm taking a blogging break. My third, in fact! We're starting school on the 15th & since Dad has one week off this summer & it happens to fall on this particular week, we've spending quality time with each other having fun & making end-of-the-summer memories. 

But don't worry; I'm not leaving you high & dry like the other two blogging breaks. I always equate the beach with summertime {and...if you're a devoted long time reader you'll know that I have an undying love for anything & everything beach, so I've arranged to let you readers be treated to beach-themed guest posts from Emily S, Emily N, Meredith, and Emily C all throughout the week, along with a FTF + SS {beach themed of course!} featuring just ONE all beach themed shop! Cool, right?

Do you forgive me, readers, for springing this on you?  I promise, you'll be in love with the guest posts! 

On to the Hello Monday, shall we? I've complied a few of my MANY favorite things about the beach along with some gorgeous photos from weheartit.com. Because, you know, weheartit.com is awesome.
