10 years+Sales+TGIF

First things first. Have you seen the ridiculous sales lately??? JCrew has a sale on their new arrivals (I've been obsessing over this dress since I saw it on Chassity). 

Nordstrom is having their Half Yearly Sale.  

One of my absolute favorite home decor shops, Furbish is 15% off everything all weekend. 

And Shop Bop just added tons of new mark downs (I think I have to order this little eyelet top).

Next...

Today is the 10 year anniversary of my first date with my husband (and the two year anniversary of us getting engaged).

Summer of 2004

 If you told me when I was 17 years old that this guy would be my husband I would've laughed in your face. But every single day since I met him, I knew how incredibly special of a person he was and is. I could go on forever about how lucky I feel, but I'll save you the mush. So happy 10 bug. Thanks for calming my crazy.

Have a great weekend everyone. We've got an engagement party tonight, a wedding tomorrow and BBQ Sunday! 

For Sale

In the new house, I've decided to go a different direction in the master bedroom. Yeah, I'm crazy, I know.

So... my pink headboard is for sale. $800 (or best offer) for Chicago area pick up only.

Best of ::: Coasters

A friend of mine emailed me with a new "best of" idea, coasters. She thought it was silly, but I loved the idea! Everyone should have coasters and its necessary that they're cute if they are going to be sitting out on the table. They're also the perfect hostess gift or housewarming present. Here are my favorites

Kate Spade silver coasters (with different sayings) ::: Leopard Waylande Gregory ::: Jonathan Adler marbled coasters ::: Orange lizard coasters ::: Monogram glass coasters ::: Stone Textile cut wood ::: Agate coasters (come in almost every color!)

Austin to New York

A friend of mine is moving from laid back Austin, TX to NYC this summer. She is looking for outfits to get her through a day of work, into the night. So I figured I'd share my suggestions here.

Light weight jackets, fun silky dresses, statement jewelry and nude shoes are my consistent go-tos in the summer. The combo works for just about anything. 

Look One: White jacket (I tried this on last week, its perfect and would go with everything::: Green floral dress ::: Nude sandals ::: Tassel necklace ::: Black tote

Look Two: Denim blazer (The RM Becky jacket is a go-to for anyone, the shape is just right) :::  Kaleidoscope dress ::: Pink studs ::: Tan tote

Look Three: Tweed jacket ::: Blue silk dress ::: Earrings ::: Tan and silver pumps (Jcrew Etta pumps are a perfect work staple) 

Weekend Recap

This weekend we were in Geneva, NY for my little sister's college graduation. I had so much fun with my family (everyone was all together for the first time since my wedding).

Celebrating with two of my favorite people.

Walking the beautiful gardens at our hotel. Who knew middle-of-nowhere New York was so beautiful?

At actual graduation. It turned out to be a beautiful day

(my jacket is 50% off by the way)

The quad during grad

The little graduate and the littlest brother.

We ended the weekend with a beautiful dinner on the golf course. So nice to come home to perfect weather in Chicago.
