Remember how I said it’s the best time of the year? It really and truly is. I’ve been trying to squeeze in trips to the dog park at least every other day (going first thing in the morning is my new jam). On the weekends though, I’ve been taking the pups to the beach as often as I can. They LOVE it, and I don’t even care if my car is coated in two inches of sand. (Seriously, sand is in every nook and cranny of my car right now.)
A couple of my friends have taken Metro North out of the city to play with us. They claim they want to see me, but we all know they’re adventuring out for the dogs.
Even though I did a quick peek at some of these photos last week, I wanted to do a full post because the photos just make me smile too much. I hope you guys enjoy them even half as much as I did.
I’ve had this anorak in my coat closet for over a year. I’ve packed it for a few trips, but this is the first month where I’ve actually worn it. Why did it take me so long? I don’t know! I love it. It has an old-school vibe that’s just so much fun.
Even on warm days, it gets significantly cooler down by the water. A windbreaker is a must!
When my friends come out, I always tell them to pack a pair of waterproof shoes for the beach. Bean Boots are always a solid choice.
(FYI Here’s a post with instructions on how I tie my laces!)
A photo from when we first got to the beach. Aka my hair was still smooth, and the dogs were still fluffy!
Can you tell how much they love the beach? Free reign to run around like maniacs. Both Hamilton and Teddy will run right into the water to cool off.
Sandy noses!

Y’all are so adorable, love these photos! Makes me want to go to the beach too myself – even though I hate beaches haha 😉

I loved that video of you and your pups at the beach. They are so cute! Also, I love how you styled those Bean Boots. I think I am going to need to get some of my own.

These photos are so fun! You and the pups look like you’re having the best time.
I love these super natural, laid back photo shoots from you! I think women always underestimate how pretty they look with their hair a little wild and their makeup less done. You can see the happiness on your face. .
Love these photos and your dogs are super cute!

I love love love that windbreaker! I bought the same one a couple of weeks ago in the teal color and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. Cleaning sand out of the car is the worst, but so worth it for adorable pups like yours!

Life can’t get any better than playing with the two boys who know how to have real fun. It’s all about the pups.
Adore the look and beach hair!!!! You look so free and oh how nice the cool air must feel playing on the beach!

Love these photos! You look so happy.
I agree, the jacket is perfectly retro in all the right ways! Stuff like that never goes out of style anyway.
These pictures are too cute! Nothing better than puppies on the beach!

Love that windbreaker! If you don’t mind me asking, what size did you get? I like how yours fits a little loose.
XS it’s very roomy!
Thanks for letting me know!
I love when you include Teddy and Ham in your blog posts, Carly! Can you do a post for people looking to become first-time dog owners?
I have a video coming out next week!
Beautiful post! May I ask what size of anorak you are wearing? I am looking at getting one but have heard mixed reviews on sizing (some saying it fits large, suggesting to size down). Thanks in advance 🙂
