Summertime and the Livin’ is Easy…

Disclaimer: I always wear a helmet. I just took it off briefly for these photos. Bike safety is extremely important!

Lilly Pulitzer Shorts (Old, newer styles here. I love this pair in “Let’s Cha Cha,” this elephant-clad pair, this white scalloped pair, this pair in “First Impressions,” and this pair!) / Tommy Bahama Sandals c/o / French Connection Sweater c/o (Old, similar here and here) / Kate Spade Bag (Old, similar here. And take 25 percent off all Kate Spade sale items with code “SETSALE”!) and Sunglasses (Old, similar here and here) / J.Crew Earrings / Helen Ficalora Necklace c/o

These shots were taken in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, but because Mitch and I are taking a long bike ride up the island today (and because I haven’t unloaded new photos off my semi-functioning camera), they seemed fitting. :)

Happy Fourth of July!

Lilly Pulitzer Dress / Joie Sandals (Order a full size up) / Mott 50 Cardigan c/o / Karen Walker Sunglasses c/o Ditto and Endless Eyewear

A very happy Fourth of July from the Jersey Shore! We pulled into Ocean City late last evening, and had such a fun night. Mac & Manco’s Pizza, wine, and great company: my parents, their friends and my brother. Probably should have gone to bed before 4 a.m., but you win some, you lose some, haha.

Working from Home with Apye Socks (And a Giveaway!)

I really like working from home. The one thing that prevents me from absolutely loving it, though, is my actual home. (Fail.) While my office space is cute (so thankful!), we just don’t get a ton of natural light in any of the rooms… and things seem to look kind of dingy because of it.

But isn’t Blair’s new place gorgeous? She has such amazing design skills and taste, and I can’t get over the natural light–and views–her apartment offers. It’s, without a doubt, my favorite place to work! (Also because of the great company and the fact that we have fancy drinks while we work, haha.)

Blog Refresh

After months of trying to learn the ins and outs of WordPress and some very basic coding (if you can even call it that), I finally did it: I redesigned Kelly in the City… on my own! (Also, it’s 5 a.m. as I’m writing this post, and I’ve been working on launching the site since midnight. Took a wee bit longer than I thought it would. And I just broke my mobile theme, haha.)

Backyard BBQ Wear with ASOS

Barbecue season has finally arrived in Chicago, and I couldn’t be happier. There’s just nothing like catching up with friends over backyard grills and fire pits, surrounded by city buildings.

$100 Relax Spa and Bath Giveaway

Man. Major WordPress issues on the the blog front lately. I seriously need to start writing my posts in Microsoft Word. (Come on, Kelly! Remember this.) There’s just nothing worse than working on a post for an hour, and then losing everything! Ugh.

Okay. So sorry for the complaining. Not that big of a deal. Let’s just start over… ;)

Biking Chicago

(Disclosure: I always wear a helmet. Mitch snapped the biking pics in about three minutes, and he simply held my helmet during this time. Protecting your head is ridiculously important. Never ride without a helmet!)

LOFT Top c/o — Similar here and here / Milly for Ann Taylor Shorts (Old, similar here and here — and someone please scoop this up before it sells out!) / Sperrys / Daniel Wellington Watch c/o / Helen Ficalora Necklace c/o / J.Crew Earrings / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but love this similar pair from Tory Burch and this similar pair by Ray-Ban)

Every once in a while, it’s really important for me to unplug and hit the reset button. As life has been pretty overwhelming lately, I took the last couple of days off blogging and freelance work. I forgot about self-imposed deadlines and told myself I’d get to it in a few days… and as a result, I’m feeling way more positive than I did before the weekend. :) Still a bit flustered, but way more positive.
