Shutters on the Beach

Hydrangea Top c/o (Also have my eye on this one, this one and this one!) / Favorite White Skinny Jeans (But also obsessed with these! They fit just as well yet are slightly less expensive.

A Balanced Weekend

Cutout Leggings (Also available here and here. Love these, these and these, too! And here are Jess’ hydrangea leggings!) / Striped Tank / Similar sneakers here and here / Quilted Tote (And how cute is the backpack and yoga mat carrier?!)

This year, Mitch and I decided that it was important to cut out blog events, as most of them occur on weeknights, and family time is precious. While it’s definitely the best decision for us right now, I’ll admit that I sometimes miss ’em. Nearly all my Chicago girlfriends are bloggers, haha, so events often just feel like parties! A lot of fun, for sure. :)

Recent Finds, Vol. 16

Recent Finds, Vol. 16

Gingham flats on sale today only with code “FRIENDS30.” Nautical Silk Scarf c/o J. McLaughlin / Favorite Jeans (Best EVER.) / Collared Top (So cute!) / Woven Tote c/o Tuckernuck

Hi, Friends! I’m wrapping up a nice little Sunday over here in Lincoln Park. ;) This morning, Emma and I had brunch with Maya and Kira at Jam & Honey, and later in the afternoon, my cousin Conor and his sweet girlfriend came over to hang. (They flew in from New York for the weekend!) I also cleaned and organized the living daylights out of our house. Yeah, that didn’t make any sense. But seriously, guys: It hasn’t been this organized in FOREVER! Of course, it’s not perfect, and I still have quite a bit of work to do in terms of purging. But everything’s in its place and “donate,” “trash” and “sell” bags are all lined up, ready to depart. FEELS GOOD!

Tuckernuck Dress (Also love this nearly identical one and this one!) and Tote (Love it in light blue, too!) c/o / Jack Rogers (On major sale right now! And how cute is the bow and navy striped versions?! And speaking of Jack Rogers, I hear these are the best rain booties of all time.) / Replacement Sunglasses!

I’ll be back later with my usual “Recent Finds” post, but all I want right now is some sunshine and warmth, so I thought I’d throw some California pics up. ;)

Life Lately, 5/6

SO EXCITING! Did you see Emma on the back of the most recent Vineyard Vines catalog? Here’s the original blog post. Shop all Shep Shirts here, and here’s my hat!

Edit: I forgot to include my little “updates” section! Added; see below!

Hi Friends!

As you know, Mitch is away for the weekend and I’m flying solo here with Emma and Noodle. It’s a little more challenging than usual, but we’re having a great “Girls’ Weekend,” and we have some plans to hang out with friends. (Meaning, said friends will keep up company and take care of us out of the goodness of their hearts.) And we’re totes cleaning the house. It’s a disaster!

In other news, yesterday’s post didn’t go up until late last night, so in case you missed it, here it is. :) And a VERY happy 30th birthday to my brother, Patrick. Love you so much and can’t wait for Memorial Day Weekend!

Oh, and I feel so badly for all the leaves right now. ;)

Anyway, here’s this week’s “Life Lately” post!

Gingham Peplum Top (On sale!) / Navy Trench (Also love this one and this one, which is lined! And #omg) / Hudson Jeans (On sale! Also love this pair.) / Bow Mules (GUYS. They come in white now! They sell out quickly; order now! Here’s my full review on ’em. This palm print pair is also great.) / Woven Bag / Initial Necklace

Guys, this is real-time blogging right here! Or as close as it’s going to get. ;) Couldn’t get my act together last night to get a blog post up today–long story; it involved installing automated light switches, haha–but I thought I’d throw these pics up from earlier this afternoon, since Emma and I had a BIG day in the city! (And because my gingham peplum top is currently on sale AND the bow mules are now available in WHITE. Woo! Here’s my full review on ’em.)

The Perfect Gift for Mom (or Anyone Who’s Busy!)

My whole outfit is from Trunk Club!

When I first started writing this post, I opened with “Life is really busy for us right now.” But I’m pretty sure that life is crazy for everyone. Heck, my grandmother has to pencil me in when I come home! Between bunko and girls’ nights, that classy lady has a far more hoppin’ social life than I do. ;) In all seriousness, though, we’re all strapped for time. Whether it’s because of a similar social calendar, the arrival of a new baby, the presence of more than one kid (#omg), the pressures of a demanding job, a full course load–we’re all pulled in a zillion different directions, and we’re all in the same boat.

But if you’re not, can I come live with you on your boat? ;)
