Just when you thought life couldn’t get any better, then poof, one of your favorite brands is opening up a store near you. After I calm down from a happy dance, I am excited to share with you that Vineyard Vines will be opening up their second midwest store (the other in Chicago) at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio this November.  It will be located by the Eddie Bauer store in the North District.

If you are unfamiliar with the brand, they are a preppy clothing and accessory retailer.  Originating in the North East, they market “the good life” with a great hashtag #EDSFTG (every day should feel this good). Vineyard Vines is one of my favorite brands and I am excited they are bringing it’s preppy and classic clothing to Columbus!

This past Labor Day weekend I jetted over to New York City to celebrate my sister’s bachelorette!   Prancing around the concrete jungle, we explored the best city ever from Upper East Side to Wall Street. We enjoyed a fun dinner and entertainment at Lips, viewed the gorgeous city from rooftops, sipped yummy cocktails at a speakeasy, had brunch at The Park, and shopped till we dropped in Soho. It was a great weekend full of love, laughter, and lots of champagne 🙂 

Here is a little recap of the weekend.

My beautiful family–cousin and sister (bride to be) about to hit the town. Everyone wore black except my sister. 

The cute set up in each room! Obsessed with this bow bottle stopper and engagement ring straws!
The girls also received monogrammed notepads and a bachelorette first aid kit–Advil and Band-Aids. 
How adorable are these engagement ring cookies from Our Cupcakery! They were so delicious!
Needs no explanation 🙂
It was the perfect sunny day to enjoy some yummy bloody marys on the Central Park Boathouse patio while watching the row boats on the lake. 
Shopping at the new Birchbox store was amazing! Not only is there a whole salon on the bottom floor where you can get your nails and hair done, but you can also create your own box at the store–pretty cool huh?
A great way to end the weekend with a delicious dinner at La Bottega. Definitely sit on the patio for a  beautiful view of the city sky while sitting under the lantern lights. 

1) Heading to New York City today for a fabulous long weekend! Can you guess what I am most excited to do? I will give you a hint, it looks a little like this, this, and this 🙂

Follow me here on Instagram and here on twitter while I prance around NYC!

 2)  “I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker” All hail the Queen B!

3) How to be like Carolina Herrera–taking notes on this one and studying.

4) Winter will not be so bad if I can wear this everyday. 

5) Completely in love with every single print from this artist.

6) Pleased to meet you, my new fall wardrobe.

7)  “There is a sexiness in not trying to be sexy”. Icon. Enough said. 

8) Looks like Olivia Palermo and I have similar taste. I mean obviously 😉

9) These shoes will be mine!

10) Looking oh so yummy.

11) In honor of National Dog Day this past week. Can someone please buy me a westie 🙂

12) Have mercy, please be true!

13) Travel in style with this.

Sorry I’ve gone all geek squad on you these past few weeks, I am just really excited about the future of online shopping. And the future of online shopping lies in our smartphone.
Through Twitter and Facebook I have been raving on and on about two new start-up apps: Spring and LIKEtoKNOW:IT.  Both are the most seamless shopping apps out there that I have used. They allow desktop check out to become mobile and a much easier process. With Fashion Week coming up soon (next week!!!), I highly suggest downloading Spring and LIKEtoKNOW:IT to shop all of their must have items. Many of your favorite brands and bloggers will be posting pictures and talking non-stop during NYFW on new collection items of the upcoming (and current) season—one not to miss out on. Remember: “Nothing haunts us like the things we didn’t buy.”
As I said on my tutorial blog post this past week, LIKEtoKNOW:IT allows you to shop items that bloggers are currently obsessing over and wearing. Spring allows brands to implement their products straight to one source for an easy to view and easy to use check out.

Really any service that allows my wish list to become more attainable with just a few clicks makes me one happy shopaholic.
