and we’re back for another edition of fridays with oscar. today’s menu has summer written all over it. a delicious chicken cobb salad and a refreshing raspberry lime mocktail. that’s right! many of you request mocktails in addition to cocktails. you asked, and we deliver. since time is barreling through august 2021 like there’s no tomorrow, i’m soaking up all things summer. summer outfits, summer salads, summer tees, summer sandals, and soaking in all of that Vitamin D. with sunscreen applied liberally. have you noticed the days are already shorter? when oscar and i mosey out the door for our evening walk, i’m reminded that summer days are fleeting. so let’s make hay while the sun still shines.
this weekend i’m getting ready for my mini-vacay at Tybee and getting organized for fall content. i know, i know we’re not quite ready for fall. but in my world (at least my working world), we’re already thinking about the holidays! if you’re like me, fall clothes are your favorites. and pumpkins? love them! hot cocoa? yes, please. what’s better than a cozy sweater and a pair of suede boots?! but i digress… a graphic tee and sandals are pretty darn cute, especially on a friday.
on fridays, it’s all about casual chic. since i love a graphic tee and chambray, all i needed to do was combine the two. add a pair of Birkenstock sandals, and this outfit has comfy written all over it! the perfect outfit for lounging around the house, but i can head out the door if need be.
chicken cobb salad
give me all the salads, especially when it’s hot. since the dog days of summer have arrived, i love to whip up a healthy salad. one of my favorites has been and always will be a cobb salad. they’re easy to make and even easier to eat. it starts with leafy greens with all sorts of goodies layered on top. honestly, i always look in my fridge first to see what i have on hand. this salad is easy to tweak based on your preferences.
happy friday, gang! oscar, ollie, and i wish you a lovely weekend.

Those Eva Birkenstocks are so great for walking/working in the yard & garden. They don’t get damaged by dew, when you water, etc.
and they’re so comfy too!
Love the look! one I often wear. So glad to see you wearing Birkenstocks. They are the only shoes I can walk any distance in. They cured my plantar fasciitis. I have them in every color and several styles. I’m glad they aren’t just for aging hippies as depicted in novels. Thank you for all your good fashion ideas. No need to look sloppy even at home
Birkenstocks are quite trendy these days!
I love denim jackets and boots weather but I hate packing away my sandals and linen pants. This is a great look for the end of summer.
i always hate to say goodbye to summer!
Nice casual look. Love it for Friyay!
Do they run a little baggy? The video with the model seems to look that way…a bit.
Thanks for the Cobb salad recipe. Think I’ll use that tonight.
Happy weekend!
Of course I’m talking about the pants being baggy.
Sometimes ladies, it’s okay to be a little loose and baggy – yet pulled together. I call it “weekend”! ☺️Looks great, Beth!
exactly!
yes, the pants have a nice loose fit.
Great casual outfit and smiling photo of Oscar! Seeing him makes my day!
he is simply the best! ollie too!
Oops, I meant Ollie, your German Shepard! He’s my FAVE!
oscar is my dog. ollie is my cat. she stopped by today.
I love a cobb salad but forget to make it. Thanks for the recipe. Have to make one.]
Cute casual outfit for hanging around the house. I too am trying to get all the use out of my summer clothes. It is my favorite season. Too short in Minnesota as you well know. Pet your pets for me.
when we lived in MN i can remember feeling the fall weather as early as mid-august! we were never ready for it.
Ollie looks highly annoyed. What did you do, wake him up for that photo? 😉
everyone always thinks that. but she has a very sweet and social nature.
I just love seeing Oscar on Fridays. He is so handsome! I may be prejudiced since my husband’s service dog is named Oscar also. Gotta love the little faces of our Oscar’s.
he has such a good temprament! love him to bits.
Hi Beth that cat of yours is adorable!!
Is he as lovable as Oscar?
Have a nice day
ollie is a sweetheart! and very social. she loves being around people.

Thanks so much

Beth, I’ve only been reading your blog for a few months. I’m so glad I found it. Because a couple other bloggers have been talking fall clothes, I’ve been thinking along those lines. Love jeans, jackets and boots, but here in central Iowa it’s still too warm. I was wondering where you got your sapphire bracelet since I’m also a Sept. birthday gal. It looks so pretty. Thanks for all your hard work and great ideas. Love your blog and now it is a daily read.
welcome! i’m so happy you’re here. my parents were from Iowa and i was born in Iowa City. Go Hawkeyes. the bracelet is lapis from Lagos. here is the link: https://shopstyle.it/l/bw0qp
Thank you for the mocktail recipe. Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits. It looks wonderful and I’m going to try it. Thank you from all of us who don’t drink. You’re the best. Love your blog and love seeing your sweet animals
enjoy! it’s so refreshing!
