Greetings from the East Coast! Yesterday, I went to Katie and John’s engagement party in New Jersey. (One of the best parties I’ve ever attended!) I took a ton of photos, which I can’t wait to share, but for now, I’m going to spend some quality time with Mom and her amazing breakfasts. ;)

Alert the presses: Today is the LAST day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Have you shopped my faves?!
Okay. I’ve worn these sandals on the blog so many times that I feel like it’s time to talk about their magnificence. :)
This isn’t a photo of our home. ;) Just a pic of a cute house in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood that I snapped a few years ago.
Oh my goodness. I finally got my act together, unpacked the rest of the house, and filmed a home tour!
MIRACLE.

A couple of weeks ago, my childhood best friend, Katie, texted me this photo.
“THIS IS THE DRESS,” she said.
When I saw it, I shrieked and hopped up and down. (Which was awkward, as I’d just walked into a restaurant.) Because I’d been in love with the Pinterest-famous dress for a long time–and couldn’t believe that I might get to wear it while standing up with one of my oldest, closest friends as she marries the guy of her dreams next spring.

Why is it so hard for me to get blog posts up at a reasonable hour these days? I mean, it’s 2 p.m. in Chicago right now, haha.

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a Maison Jules x The EveryGirl dinner at Mon Ami Gabi, one of the loveliest restaurants in Lincoln Park. (Located across the street from where these photos were taken.)
Up until a few weeks ago, there were a handful of perfumes I’d wanted to buy for the longest time. The only thing stopping me was their price tags. Designer fragrances are pretty expensive, and I was worried: what if I didn’t end up loving them? What a waste. Of course, I could’ve tried ’em out in department or beauty supply stores (and did), but felt like I had to wear the perfumes for at least a week before I really knew. (Any other picky girls out there?!)

I’m such a fan of low-key Sundays. Mitch and I did very little on the productivity front yesterday, but it was a really nice day. (I did manage to iron a few shirts, though. Huzzah! I’m back in normal clothing, haha.)

Last night was the best. Mitch and I met Erica, one of our very best friends from back home, downtown at Volare. It was one of those dinners during which the waiter has to ask you three+ times whether you’re ready to order, haha. We just couldn’t stop talking and laughing!
(And no worries. We ordered quite a bit of wine during the ordering process. ;))
