I have recently moved to New York from the Philippine and despite the fact I am a permanent resident here, I have made it to the point that I shall explore the place like a tourist. Taking pictures here and there and enjoying it like a vacation! That’s the sure summer agenda–to enjoy.
Welcome to the city!! Have fun, there’s so much to do and see here.
I am trying to plan a trip to take my mom to Italy for her first time. With my poor Italian (thanks Google translate), I am trying to connect with some cousins only grandparents have ever met in Vasto who can maybe give us the grand tour. And with Italy being one of the fashion capitals of the world, well..let’s just say I need to do some shopping.
I’ve already been to Mexico this Spring, but am really hoping to get back to the East Coast to see my friends and family this summer. Pick me please!!!
I’m not going anywhere…but I wish I were going to Disney World! Maybe next year!
Hi Anna! At the end of this month I am going down to Dallas for the first time to attend one of my closest friend’s wedding! She is the first out of my group of girlfriends to be getting married and we are all so excited! It’ll also be a bit of a reunion for all of my college friends since we all live in different parts of the US
Since I just came back from a trip to Colorado, our vacation plans this summer include a quick trip to NJ/NYC for a wedding. BTW, if you have never been or heard of the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado, put it on your bucket list. It is absolutely amazing.
I’ve been meaning to try the OPI Nail Appliques but can’t bring myself to shell out the dough
*Crossing fingers*
My husband and our two kids are hoping to travel to Mount Rushmore at the end of the summer…our itinerary includes Mount Rushmore, of course, Crazy Horse Memorial, Reptile Gardens, a gold mine and a crystal cave. It should be tons of fun and with an 8 year old and 9 month old, will be very busy! Having kids makes mani/pedi time a constant challenge and I find myself putting layers of polish on randomly throughout the day, because I’m constantly interrupted, so the appliqués would be something wonderful to try! Have a great summer!
I have 2 weddings in the napa area in August & an anniversary trip in the planning stages for sept…maybe big sur or Carmel? (: here’s to a summer of celebrating loves — both new and old! xx
I got engaged in Carmel. It’s gorgeous. If you want to splurge check out the Hyatt Highlands there. Totally worth it!
Heading to New Orleans next month, it’s technically business but it’ll still be fun!
Heading to NYC in July!! Last time I was there for an interview and didn’t get chance to explore the city. This time, I will tour the city down! I would appreciate any fun idea that is typically not included in a tour group. Any recommendations, New Yorker?
Hi Elaine! Definitely walk the BK Bridge and then check out Brooklyn Bridge Park/the Promenade for gorgeous views, or the High Line if you want to stay in Manhattan. Hit Chelsea Market before. Have brunch in Brooklyn (Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Park Slope are cute brownstone neighborhoods), check out Brooklyn Flea if you’re here on a Saturday. I love walking around the Upper West Side, too. Scones from Alice’s Tea Cup on 73rd street are a must. Have fun!
Hi Anna, definitely put your reccommendations in my list. Keep up the awesome work. Thank you!!
I am going to Mexico in July! Excited and nervous! But love this giveaway idea!
just got back from my summer travel plans, went to the greek isles! they were gorgeous, had so much fun! wish i could go back and never leave! now i will have to settle for the beaches of chicago and michigan for the rest of summer!
I am off to Disneyworld this summer, and I. cannot. wait!!
I don’t have travel plans for this summer but I am planning a big trip to Australia for next summer!
The furthest we’ll travel is the zoo that’s half an hour away (and free!) because I’m not driving much farther than that with a baby, haha!
I am headed to the beach this summer (South Carolina), and up to PA to visit family. Can’t wait!
I will be going to Arizona to visit family! I have never been there so we shall see if I like it or not. Thanks for the chance!

I am too broke from my trip to India last year to go anywhere besides the Jersey Shore… but I really really wish I was going back to Mumbai!
I wish I could travel more but am helping with family. We’ll probably go to Cape Cod!
I’ll probably spend most of the summer on the beach with my nieces, but I’d love to be traveling the world!
We visited WDW last year (it was amazing) and I wish we were going again! Instead I will be home painting my nails
This summer I am looking forward to relaxing by the pool and showing off a fresh mani/pedi.
I am supposed to go to Connecticut and visit ESPN but not sure if I will make it…I hope so! It is my dream. I know, I am a nerd.
I wish I could afford to travel this summer. A good friend of mine is going to Alaska and I’d love to be able to go with her, I’d also like to visit some friends in New York and Maryland. *sigh* Maybe next year.
I’m heading to NYC/NJ and St Croix next month to visit family and friends. I’m so excited to see everyone and I miss NYC so much, I can’t wait to move back there.
Going to Jamaica to visit my mom! Oh and to celebrate my 25th ahhhhh!
Hi there! I am currently beachside at Hilton Head Island, SC. I am planning my annual educational dance conference to Chicago in mid July as I am a dance teacher so those Kardasian. Colors would be great! However after the conference this year I am being evaluated by the Diamond Clinic for chronic migraines and may be admitted for treatment…which will be a drag so the glitter will be a super pick me up! I also plan a mission trip with my church if my health permits. Love your blog, keep up the good work!!!
Sadly I don’t have any summer plans. But if I did I would love love loooove to go to California.
So far, none. But I might be going on a trip to Malaysia for a few weeks to look for new herpetology specimens, so that’s exciting!
NONE! We’re doing stay-cations and i couldn’t be more excited about it.
Not sure if this is international, but I’ll try
.
This year me and my boyfriend are going to Greece. I’ve really excited, I’ve never been there before and heard it is beautiful!
Good luck everyone and thankyou

I just had a baby so no vacationing for me!! I wish I could go back to Hawaii and roast in the sun. For now it’s just a lot of baby time and painting my nails to keep the days interesting!
I wish I could take a trip to Dallas sometime in July or August. That’s an extremely weird time to go there, but I have a good reason: one of my dearest friends is moving there in a few weeks, and another friend is moving away from there in September. I live in Upstate NY, and haven’t seen either of them in a very long time – it sure would be nice to see them both at the same time!
I don’t have any travel plans but I would love to have cute nails while strolling around the neighborhood.
