It’s that time of year again. Lilly Pulitzer agendas are ready for pre-order!
Side note: If you’re viewing this post on your phone, the colors are probably all out of whack. I’ve been doing Photoshop projects for my brother’s wedding–less than one week!–and keep forgetting to switch the color settings back. The real agendas look much brighter! ;)

Guys, the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale ends tomorrow. #Sadness, I know. But the great thing is that there is still a ton of inventory available. And with free shipping and returns, now’s the time to shop! You can take up to 40 percent off a huge selection of women’s, men’s and kids’ styles.
Above are some of my faves, but my eyes are also on this Equipment shirt dress, this Ralph Lauren anorak jacket, this pair of gold pumps, this Kate Spade pearl necklace, this Kate Spade striped dress, this Tory Burch tunic, and this Burberry jacket.
Have you nabbed any great deals?!
J.Crew Linen Blazer c/o and Earrings / Helen Ficalora Necklace c/o / BlankNYC Jeans (Also available at Nordstrom) / J.Crew Factory Popover (Similar here) / Vera Bradley Tote c/o / C.Wonder Bracelet (Old, but love this one, this one and this one) and Pumps (Old, similar here, here and here)
I don’t know what the heck is wrong with me. Shooting my daily outfits takes maybe four minutes, yet I always put it off until the last possible moment.
Take yesterday.
Check out today’s Style Me Pretty Birchbox Post, Featuring Kelly in the City!
Oh my goodness. My brother’s wedding is next weekend. I remember the couple of weeks leading up to my own wedding: I just couldn’t comprehend that the day we’d been planning for a year was finally upon us. I experienced feelings of excitement, nervousness and joy all at the same time… and relaxing, sitting still and falling asleep were nearly impossible feats. ;)
(What I wore here)
Before I start, I should apologize for all the blurry photos I’ve been posting as of late. I’m still a WordPress beginner, and had been accidentally allowing the platform to resize my pics. Determining the problem took me forever, but hey–at least I learned something new out of the experience, right? With any hope, today’s photos are crisp and clear!
ANYWAY. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that I recently ventured out of the city with Nicole, Maya and Jess for a girls’ day in Geneva, Illinois. Geneva is the cutest little town–filled with adorable stores and restaurants–and it’s a quick train ride from Chicago. Most people need to escape the hustle and the bustle of the city every once in a while, and Geneva is the perfect getaway. Close enough that it doesn’t require major planning, but far away enough that it feels like a real vacation. :)
Warby Parker “Durand” Glasses c/o / Gap Popover (Here in seersucker) / J.Crew Jeans and Earrings / Vineyard Vines Bracelet c/o / Emma McKinstry Necklace c/o / Sperry Sneakers c/o (Also love the navy, gold, and floral versions!) / Vera Bradley Tote c/o
A couple of weeks ago, Jess and I visited the new (beautifully decorated) Warby Parker location on Armitage in Lincoln Park, Chicago. We were both in dire need of new specs–Jess was just getting by with her high school pair, and I was somehow managing with contacts only–and we were really excited about updating our styles.

One of the many reasons I love blogging so much is because it’s brought about a ton of amazing experiences and opportunities. I feel blessed that my life has been so significantly enriched by what started as a fun hobby, and I’m truly grateful that the projects I get to work on are fun and enjoyable. (Often, they don’t even feel like work!) Of course, there are stressors that come along with any job. But this is the first time in a long time that I go to bed smiling and wake up smiling. It’s been a good 10 months. :)
If you haven’t heard already, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is on! From now until May 31st, you can save up to 40 percent some really great products in the women’s, men’s, and kids‘ departments. (Stuff that normally doesn’t go on sale.)
Some of my favorites include this scalloped tote, these Tory Burch sandals (what a steal!), this scalloped dress, this quilted jacket (why is it not available in my size?!), these sandals, and this ridiculously reduced Barbour coat.
What do you have your eye on?!
Cashmere Lobster Sweater c/o Tuckernuck + Two Bees Cashmere / J.Crew Skirt (Factory version here, and adore the newer version!) and Pearl Earrings / Kate Spade Clutch (I wore this to my wedding! It’s old, but here’s a similar one), Bracelet (Old, but love the Sailor’s Knot version), Necklace (Old, similar here, here and here) and Sunglasses / Jack Rogers Sandals
Let’s start this out by admitting that yes, I need to invest in some self-tanner. I’ve never really care about my vampire-white skin before, but it seems particularly bright this year. And while I haven’t started sparkling in sunlight yet, I know it’s only a matter of time. ;) Any recommendations for an extremely fair Irish girl who’s never used the stuff before?
