I. Wearing a black cardigan around the campfire surrounded by family, friends, and s'mores!
II. Running in the morning, it's brisk, but it's divine. This is made especially heavenly if it's done barefoot on the beach. Nirvana!
III. Reading a good Russian novel outside on a blanket in the shade of a big, old oak.
IV. The bright colors and nautical prints at the beach. This combined with the easy-go-lucky atmosphere creates a plethora of opportunities for easy outfits.
V. Fishing the pier before everyone else is up -- being alone with the ocean is a powerful experience.
