Savvy in my city

Summer. The days may be longer, but they always seem to fly by faster than any other time of the year. For me, summer is always about the dress - that perfect summer frock that is bright and fun which could go to brunch, or drinks, or even the office - and oh yes, needs to be affordable!

Fortunately London Times has a ton of stylish and versatile dresses aimed at the savvy shopper and they are launching their biggest giveaway yet, $1000 for your savviest summer ever!

Whether you are looking to beat the heat or to relish it, how do you enjoy the summer in your own city? Find out how bloggers across the US and Canada spend summers in their cities, and share your own way to stay savvy in your city.

In my city there are dozens of places to get your caffeine fix, but in the warmer months, no place could be better than Common Grounds. The coffee beans are roasted on the premises and their offerings are expansive - my summer favorite - an iced coconut latte. However, the best reason to go to Common Grounds in the summer is the patio hidden in the back, where you are away from the traffic and can sit at a table shaded by the tree it was built around.

After your coffee, you could walk across the street to do some shopping at Coco's on the Green (my favorite second hand shop) or head a few minutes down the road to the local beach, a place you've seen me frequent quite a bit in my outfit posts, and soak up some sun!

Enter the London Times Savvy Summer Sweepstakes now through June 29th at 11:59 pm est. Must be a resident of the US or Canada.
