Fall in July
This weekend I went to visit my cousins to celebrate my uncle's birthday! The house we had the party at had a pool, a heated pool to be specific. Now, you may ask, why on earth would you need a heated pool in July? The answer: because it has been cold!lThe Chicago area is having quite a chilly spell for summer. Just a little while ago it was ungodly hot and I posted about the infused water I had been making to stay hydrated. Now, instead of infused water or iced coffee, I've been wanting …
Twinning in Tiffany Blue
Hey darlings! How have you been? My summer has been going wonderfully and I've been just the right amount of busy. One fun thing I got to do recently was meet up with one of my fabulous blog friends, Chloe from The Preppy Diaries & PopCosmo! When we found out that Chloe and her mom were coming to Chicago for BlogHer '13 we knew we had to figure out a way to meet up for a bit while she was here. So, we hung out at the 900 North Michigan Shops on Michigan Avenue to do some shopping, get …

Currently Loving: Infused Water
Recently it has been unbearably hot in the Chicago area, so I've been making an extra effort to stay hydrated at all times. My mom has been especially supportive of our whole family constantly drinking water because, obviously, no one wants to get dehydrated when it's close to 100 degrees outside!We've been using this pitcher from Bodum to make infused water to stay cool and encourage everyone to drink more water. Typically, it helps to let the pitcher sit for about two hours in the fridge …
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
It's that wonderful time of year again, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! I've been attending the Anniversary Sale with my mom for as long as I can remember and it's one of my favorite back-to-school traditions! When I was little, it would be the time to go get new mary janes and light-up gym shoes for the year. As I've gotten older, it has become the way that I prep myself and my wardrobe for going back to school. These are just a few of my favorites from the sale this year. The main …
How I Organize My Lilly Agenda
It's no secret that I like being organized. One thing that naturally comes along with this desire for order is my tendency to keep a detailed calendar planning out my life and keeping track of upcoming events. In the past, I have been asked how I keep my calendar organized, so here it is!last year's agenda via InstagramLast year I purchased a planner from Lilly Pulitzer for the first time which I have absolutely loved! I got the large option in You Gotta Regatta (above) and I'm just finishing …
One Direction Take Me Home Tour
This past Sunday, July 14th, I was able to go see One Direction on their Take Me Home Tour!!! For those of you who were not already aware, I absolutely love 1D. I've had "What Makes You Beautiful" or "Back For You" set as my ringtone for the past two years. (I like to alternate between them.) Needless to say, I'm a pretty big fan of One Direction, so I was super pumped to be attending one of their concerts at last!I purchased my tickets over a year ago and I'd been looking forward to the concert …
That Little Thing Called Doubt
I found this picture while browsing through Pinterest a while ago and since then it has come to be a great personal motivator for me. So, I thought I would share it with you all as well as talk you through what I do when I'm doubting myself in a situation or having a rough day. I may not always be the most outgoing person in the room, but I have really big dreams and important goals that I want to achieve in my life. You may ask, how does being outgoing relate to your dreams and goals? …
Mystic Blue
This weekend was my best friend Marina's graduation party. To celebrate, we went to Navy Pier for a lunch cruise and party on the Mystic Blue. It was so much fun! We had great views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan as well as plenty of yummy food and drinks. The weather was absolutely gorgeous that day and I loved being out on the water! I had a blast and it was great to see old friends as well as make new ones in such a fun venue. It was the perfect afternoon!pink lemonade + sierra mist …
