Month: June 2014

I may not have mentioned this before, but my sister and her fiance really are the best! They are getting married this year and I can not wait to celebrate their big day! Two weeks ago they took me out to lunch at Hubbard Grille to welcome me home. Side note: if you are in Columbus, Ohio, I highly suggest eating there–so delicious!
The lunch itself was a very sweet gesture and like always it was lots of fun hanging out with the two of them. Just as lunch was finishing up they surprised me with a mini ipad as a welcome home/congratulations on your blog gift! It was so sweet of them! I was in tears from how grateful  and how blessed I felt! Since I am traveling back and forth between NYC and Ohio for the next few months it will come as a blessing to travel light (as if I could actually pull that off) and still work on my blog. Now all I need is some thing cute and chic to cover it. This is something I do not take lightly and will spend days and days searching for the perfect cover. So far these are my top picks!

A sneak peek into what is currently in my shopping bag, waiting ever so patiently for me to hit “complete purchase”. They will all look oh so lovely in my closet and home! May a miracle come along for my bank account so I can buy them all :).

It is officially bikini season which means I will be spending my days lounging by the pool getting a goddess bronze tan. Living here in NYC I realized that my cover-ups were not so covered up and it makes it hard (embarrassing) to walk to and from the park where I lay out. #cityproblems. Instead I resulted into wearing cotton dresses as a subsitute, but now I think it is time to invest in a new stylish cover-up. My last one was white, so this time I want to go with a little more color and a pattern. J.Crew is my usual go-to for just about everything, but I have fallen in love with every single Tory Burch cover-up I have seen. Here are some other great options I am currently loving and considering. Maybe I will go a little wild and buy two 🙂
