7 ways to savor the last weeks of summer

You blinked, and suddenly it's almost the end of summer! Before the warm weather slips away, steal these ideas from other chicks on how to squeeze out the last bit of fun.

1. "I'm dying to go to a country music concert, hopefully outdoors. I've been researching when and where to go, and I can't wait to kick up my cowboy boots!" -Emily P., 26

2. "I can't recommend it enough: Get a really pretty pedicure and show it off in flip flops while you still can. I do a classic summer shade like bright pink or coral." -Kari M., 30

3. "I'm planning a day-trip of visiting local vineyards and wine-tasting. I'm outdoorsy like that!" -Chrissy, 27

4. "I just want to spend the end of summer poolside with a few good friends and a few more good drinks. We want to make the most of our time with each other because it will probably be the last summer all together since some of us are moving away." -Jennifer R., 22

5. "I'm going to help my niece set up a lemonade stand. It's so old school, but I know it will be fun for her, and I think every little kid should do something like that at some point. We'll do it right before she goes back to school." -Jesslynn, 32

6. "I'm going to kidnap all of my friends one day! We'll go for lunch and then head to a 'family fun' park. They're all very much girly girls, so nothing would be better than seeing my girlfriends riding around in go-karts or hitting each other with paintballs all day. But we'll still be completely cute and stylish, of course." -Christina M., 20

7. "At this point, I'm eating outdoors as often as possible. When it starts to get chilly, you'll be nostalgic for noshing outside." -Michelle S., 35
