the calm before

It’s a damn good thing I hit the beach last week…

Panama hat: New Orleans.  Denim shorts: New Orleans vintage shop (similars here or here). Crop T: American Apparel.  Shades: Ray Ban. Necklace: Fashionology
This was last weekend. Out on Long Beach, bike riding, good old chin wags and jello shots with friends.
Won’t be happening this weekend since New York is getting blown away by a Hurricane.  Any bets it won’t be that bad? Course I could be eating my words by Sunday. Storms can cause all kinds of damage after all! One of my friends recently had to have some repairs carried out on her house after a bad storm damaged her roof. Of course, no one likes to think too much about their home getting buffeted by a storm, but there are steps you can take to minimise the potential damage. For example, my friend was able to claim towards the cost of her repairs because she had taken out a home insurance policy. If you live in an area where bad weather is a frequent occurrence, it is in your best interest to take out a home insurance policy that provides coverage for damage done by wind, rain, and lightning strikes. To find out more, go to the simply insurance website. Once there, you can compare a few different insurance providers to find a home insurance policy that meets your needs.
Wearing my favourite shorts that you saw in the ‘my week‘ post.  I wore them before in this Central Park post. For someone who asked, the brand name of them is Not Guilty 😉

    As someone who lives on the SC coast, I know how bad hurricanes can be. People who have never experienced it always act as though it will never happen to them. Please take it seriously and be careful!
