The weekend (No, not The Weeknd). Speak of the word and it sparks immense joy and hyper-engagement via Instagram mood board #WeekendVibes #SaturdayStyle #SundayFunday. Not to mention, the week-long rain spell has certainly refreshed our eagerness for Saturday and Sunday. Undefeated, we are not letting the dreary forecast rain on our parade, even with expected showers for the next few days. Start getting down on Friday and ease into the vibrations of a wet, hot summer, totes with a drink on hand.
