I’ve been seeing these e-cards all over Facebook lately, and most of them I ignore. But when my fiancé showed me this one, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. I have to agree 100% with this sentiment. Thought I would share. Have a great weekend!
Packing Light
March 29, 2012 By 1 Comment
If you haven’t checked out the Samsonite hardside suitcases, you need to. Not only does the hard outside protect your belongings better than a soft suitcase (e.g., a hat), but these things are weightless (even for me, and I admit that I’m pretty weak). And as if the featherweight wasn’t enough, four wheel allow you to push or pull the suitcase; in other words, you don’t have to support the suitcase while it rolls. While Samsonite charges a pretty penny, less expensive versions are available (see here).

Sneak Peak of Summer

Last week it was unseasonably warm here in the windy city. I think Molly averaged four or five walks a day. It was so nice to be outside. The sun was shining and everything was in full bloom. Then, of course, it dropped back down to the 40′s. But that’s Chicago.

GOOP Scoop
March 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Although I have mixed feelings about Gwyneth Paltrow, and I have to disagree with anyone who nominated her for the Oscars best dressed award, I thought I would share this inside Oscar scoop that she posted on her website, GOOP. GOOP is not a website that I visit regularly – almost never, in fact. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just not one of my regular reads. Nonetheless, I came across a particularly interesting post that I thought I would share. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at Oscar day, as well as an interview with Gwyneth’s stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman. Check out the post and photos here.

A Beautiful Bridal Shower

I recently went to Miami where my future mother-in-law threw me an absolutely beautiful bridal shower. It was the first shower (wedding, baby, or otherwise) that I’ve ever been to. Everything was perfect. Great food, great company, and so many lovely gifts.

Thanks MW for taking such beautiful photos!
Sneak Peek: The Carrie Diaries
March 26, 2012 By 6 Comments
As the CW prepares to premiere its new show, a prequel to Sex and the City called The Carrie Diaries, the first official was finally released. The outfit is very “Carrie” but this actress, AnnaSophia Robb (that’s right, no space between “Anna” and “Sophia”), looks nothing like SJP. According to one of the producers, “When AnnaSophia Robb walked into the room, we knew we had found her.” What do you think? Will you watch The Carrie Diaries? Sex and the City is a tough act to follow. I hope the CW can pull it off, as I’m always looking for a great new show to watch, but the bar is set pretty high.

I know she’s not a puppy, but she’s still the cutest thing in the world.
Have a great weekend! Posts are starting back up again next week!

Resort to This

Vacation attire should be comfortable and casual. Clothes should be light and airy. I think this is the perfect resort look. I’m especially loving the pants.

A Color Story
March 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I almost always wear neutral colors. They make up approximately 98% of my wardrobe. So I make a concerted effort to add some color to the mix every now and then when I see something that strikes me. Here are some things that I could see incorporating into my somewhat color-averse closet.
{Diane Von Furstenberg Blouse}
{Rag and Bone Wide Leg Trousers}
{Rag and Bone Sliver Tuxedo Blazer - I have this in white, of course}
{Brian Atwood Frederique Python Printed Suede Pumps}
I like colorful separates because they can be paired with neutral pieces. Shoes are also a great way to make a statement. Intermix is one of my favorite stores and is a great place to go for fun, colorful pieces for spring!
