Flying Solo

Vineyard Vines “Whale Tail” Dress and Clutch (c/o) / Jack Rogers Sandals (On sale!) / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but love this similar pair from Tory Burch!) / Hazel & Marie Pearl Earrings (c/o) / Fornash Elephant Bangle (c/o, see more Fornash at Tuckernuck!)

I’m very used to married life. As much as this reminds me of a line from “Old School,” haha, Mitch and I have a rhythm, and we have routines. For example, we almost always reserve Friday nights for ourselves. We grab dinner and drinks together, and catch up about the week’s goings-on. And on Saturdays, we usually make and eat a big breakfast, and take Noodle on a long walk around Lincoln Park with coffees in hand. We run errands, relax at home or explore downtown, and then go out with friends. On Sundays, we rest. (Hehe.)

So when Mitch departed for New Orleans on Thursday night for my brother’s bachelor party, I kind of didn’t know what to do with myself.

Lilly Pulitzer for Target

Guys, the moment has arrived. The Lilly Pulitzer for Target line is here! Eeee!

Not surprisingly, the site is experiencing some technical difficulties. Best of luck to everyone trying to get it to load!

More soon.

Update: I failed, haha. Fell asleep shortly after posting this, and never set an alarm. But not heartbroken! There are always the “After Party” sales… ;)

Charles River Apparel Giveaway

Charles River Apparel Chambray Shirt (c/o) / GH Bass Loafers (Sold out, but similar here, and how cute is the white version?!) / Henri Bendel Bangle (c/o — Sold out, shop newer bangles here) / Daniel Wellington Watch (c/o) / Coach Bag / Hazel & Marie Pearl Earrings (c/o) / J.Crew Toothpick Jeans (On sale!) / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but love this similar pair by Tory Burch and this pair from Ray-Ban!)

Ah, the chambray shirt. I’m quite the fan. This one, from Charles River Apparel, though, has quickly become my fave. It’s the perfect weekend shirt, and I love how the white monogram complements a good pair of white jeans. (On sale!)

Navy Jumpsuit

Theory Navy Jumpsuit (c/o Neiman Marcus, similar here) / Kate Spade Pumps (Old, similar here and here) / Vineyard Vines Straw Clutch (c/o) / Moon and Lola Earrings (c/o) / Hazel & Marie Pearl Bracelet (c/o)

How did it take me so long to discover the magic of the jumpsuit? It’s revolutionary. It looks ridiculously chic yet feels like pajamas! And this silk Theory jumpsuit is incredible. It’s comfy, flattering and navy (woo!), and it has pockets. I also love that it works for those events that could go either way on the attire front. It’s certainly fancy, but can easily be dressed down, too.

I am not Athletic.

Devon Maryn Athletic Capris (c/o) / New Balance Sneakers (Check out New Balances in pink, mint, teal, navy and gray!) / Athleta Hoodie (c/o)

I am not an athletic girl.

Back in high school, the field hockey coach actually pulled me aside during varsity tryouts, and said something along the lines of, “Look. You’re not good at this. But you try hard. And we’re down girls. So… yeah. Welcome to the team.”

Hallelujah!

Preppy Springtime Accessories for Less

Julie Brown Designs Coat (Other colors here), Sperry Striped Flats (Sold out, but see Nordstrom Rack’s huge Sperry collection here!), and Leighton Duck Umbrella (c/o Nordstrom Rack) / J.Crew Striped Button-Down (Old) and Fluted Skirt (Factory version here) / Moon and Lola Bangle (c/o) / Kate Spade Bag (Old, see other Kate Spade products at Nordstrom Rack!) and Sunglasses (Old, other options here!) / Emma McKinstry “Save the Date” Necklace (c/o)

I refuse to pay full price for clothing, shoes, jewelry or accessories. I mean, I’ve certainly done it—but only when I’ve been in a bind, or when I’ve known I have very little chance of finding the product on sale. Why throw away my hard-earned money, you know?

Puppy in a Bag

Barbour Jacket, T-Shirt, Jeans and Tote (c/o Barbour Lincoln Park — Visit 2042 North Halsted Street in Chicago or call 773-360-7926 to order!) / Sperrys (c/o) / Hazel & Marie Pearl Earrings (c/o) / Daniel Wellington Watch (c/o) / Miniature Dachshund / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but HELLO, GORGEOUS!)

These photos crack me up. I love how much Noodle enjoys being carried around in tote bags, and that she’s about to pass out in these pics. (Girlfriend can’t keep her eyes open when she’s cozy!) I also love that her legs are so short that I have to stuff the bottom of the bag with a towel in order to give her some height.

One Last Snow

J.Crew Chambray Shirt (Similar here, here and here), Jeans and Earrings / C.Wonder Pink Suede Pumps (Old, similar here, here, here and here) / Coach Bag / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but love this similar pair), Necklace (Old, similar here) and Bangle (Old, but love this sailor’s knot version) / Joyiia Elephant Bangle (c/o) / Daniel Wellington Watch (c/o)

Don’t worry. It didn’t snow in Chicago over the weekend. Maya and I snapped this photos a couple of weekends ago, after the city’s last snowfall of the season.

City Chic

LOFT Jumpsuit and Anorak Jacket (c/o — The jacket also comes in green!) / Emma McKinstry Necklace (Mine has our wedding date!) / Tory Burch Tote / Sole Society Leopard Pumps / Daniel Wellington Watch (c/o) / Joyiia Elephant Bracelet (c/o) / Moon and Lola Earrings (c/o) / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but love this similar pair from Tory Burch!)

I’m spending the day down at my in-laws’ lake house, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. But this what I wore out on Friday night. We were celebrating the last day of Mitch’s spring break and our staycation–which was a huge success. More photos to follow!
