Why Am I Talking About the Best Summer Quotes?
This probably sounds so silly to have a post about the best summer quotes, but seriously whenever I read them they just bring back happiness. I talked about it last year how I am a hardcore summertime girl. And I feel like I didn’t really elaborate that much. But at the same time, this summer I got clarity why I love summer so much.
I was also inspired to write this post when Krystal Bick from This Time Tomorrow did a post about summer quotes and she shared some of my most favorite ones!
Best & Happy Memories
Whenever I think of the best memories or happiest memories, A LOT of them take me back to Summer. Growing up, summer with my family was the best. I have a very large extended family and we are so close. All the fun things and inside jokes almost always take me back to summertime.
Also, very monumental things in my life happened during the summer. Tre and I’s first date happened in the summer, we got married in the summer, I finished chemo in the summer, had my bilateral mastectomy in the summer, etc. I think you get the point.
Feeling Alive
I am also myself and feel the most alive in the summer. I’m always in a good mood and it is so easy for me to feel motivated. The summertime is when I can actually reset myself and refresh. Most people have it in January in the new year, but to me that energy translates when the weather is warmer.
I’m also convinced I am cold blooded because I don’t mind the intense heat. The other day it was probably 100 degrees outside, and I was soooo comfortable reading my book outside on our balcony. It’s in my DNA that I can handle the heat. I am a total island girl (that loves the city life haha). I am surprised that my hot flashes from cancer treatments did not bother me at all. Of course, I still get them and it tends to happen at night… go figure haha.
Chicago Summers
Also, Chicago summers are the bomb! Haha I sound so 90’s. But seriously, Chicago becomes alive and the energy is so positive and everyone is happy. Every restaurant has outdoor seating and I love all the festivals happening in every neighborhood. For instance, last weekend I went to the Water Lantern Festival. OMG, this experience was so magical!
10 Best Summer Quotes
Ok, I’m done rambling on and on. Here are my favorite and best summer quotes. Hope they also take you back to your favorite summer memories.
“Summer afternoon — summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
~Henry James
“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.”
~L.M. Montgomery
“If it could only be like this always — always summer, always alone, the fruit always ripe.”
~Evelyn Waugh
“In the summer, the days were long, stretching into each other. Out of school, everything was on pause and yet happening at the same time, this collection of weeks when anything was possible.”
~Sarah Dessen
“In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explode, and every sunset is different.”
~John Steinbeck
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
~F. Scott Fitzgerald
“When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.”
~Wilma Rudolph
“Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.”
~Jenny Han
“I love summertime more than anything else in the world. That is the only thing that gets me through the winter, knowing that summer is going to be there.”
~Jack McBrayer
“Summer has filled her veins with light and her heart is washed with noon.”
~C. Day Lewis
About This Free People Dress
I received so many compliments when I shared this dress in my Instagram Stories. This dress fits true to size. I am wearing a size 4 (I usually wear a small in dresses). It has a high-low style and the length is perfect for my 5’4″ frame.
Thank You & Free Summer Workouts
Also, I want to thank those who came out to my event Monday morning for the Free OrangeTheory workout at Gallagher Way and the breakfast at Hotel Zachary. The turn out was amazing and the weather could not have been more perfect! It was so fun meeting some of you! P.S. This is another amazing summer activity to do in city. Gallagher Way (right by Wrigley), offers free OrangeTheory HIIT classes every Monday and Wednesday morning at 7 am.

I’m cold blooded too! I hate the cold but don’t mind the heat! It’s the humidity I hate!

Effortlessly Sophisticated
I totally agree!
“I love summertime more than anything else in the world. That is the only thing that gets me through the winter, knowing that summer is going to be there.”by ~Jack McBrayer has to be my favorite quote. I appreciate summer so much more after winter! You look amazing in this maxi dress. I am a sucker for maxi dresses. Such a perfect piece for season.

Jill – Doused in Pink
Thank you Jill!
Well, gosh, you make me WISH I even liked summer. I have a very intense dislike of the season because I seriously hate the heat. I think it doesn’t help that my car has no AC, so going everywhere is hot and then arriving it’s hot and then it’s just endless heat and I feel like I’m gonna melt haha. But I can see why so many other people enjoy it. I’m glad you find joy in it for sure!
Haha it is okay. A lot of people I know don’t like the sun. I truly think it is in my DNA considering my family is from the tropical islands!
I love F. Scott Fitzgerald and the quote you shared! I’m also a total summer girl and don’t mind the heat!
I love him too! Great Gatsby is my all time favorite American classic literature!
Stunning. I like fall best.
http://www.rsrue.blogspot.com
I would love Fall more if the season lasted longer. Unfortunately, in chicago it feels like we have fall for 2 weeks.
I’m actually the opposite and love fall, but these quotes gave me an appreciation for the lovely weather and more family time that comes with summer!

How 2 Wear It [] http://how2wearit.com
A lot of people love Fall. I’m eh about it. The season doesn’t last long in Chicago and it reminds me that Winter is near haha.
