Don’t dream it’s over.

If you’re not ready for the sweater weather that’s about to set in, we’re with you. We’re loving these long days of summer and don’t want them to end, ever. So, how can we be sure we’re making the most of them? We did a poll around the office to see how people are extending their summer days. And, yes, we’re picking up what they’re putting down….

Hit the markets
And chow down on the last of the summer produce. Tomatoes right now are delicious.

Learn to surf
Ease your way out of summer with a little saltwater therapy. The water is still nice and warm (depending on where you are on Oz, of course).

Keep rocking those tropical prints
Make your summer an endless one with bold, bright prints that say (and with any luck, mean) vacay.

Eat al fresco
Head for restaurants with outdoor seating. Or better still, grab your picnic blanket and a bottle of something delicious and head into the great outdoors.

Wear open toe shoes
It’s way too early to give up on those pool slides and sandals of yours.

And carry baskets instead of bags
They make you feel like you’re headed beachside.

Don’t give up on your t-shirt
It’s the quintessential summer uniform and it’s way too early to ditch it. Layer a light shirt over the top if you’re feeling the chill.

Exercise outdoors
Hit the soft sand for some laps or take your stretch session to the closest park. Way more fun than the inside of a yoga studio / gym.

Get wet
Go for a swim after (and before) work. There’s nothing quite like salt-soaked hair.

Book a ticket OS
Chase the sun. You know you want to.
