plum-polka-dotsplum-polka-dotsplum-polka-dotsplum-polka-dotsplum-polka-dotsI have to admit it, there are some perks to fall. For instance, the weather this past weekend was just so beautiful. I actually enjoyed every minute and definitely took advantage of being outside with the warmer temps (more on my fall activities later this week). Another perk is that my fall crush color, burgundy, is dominating my wardrobe. Let’s just say that amor, love, is in the air with this plum + polka dot midi skirt from Maison Jules. I hope it stays this beautiful as long as possible and that my relationship with burgundy will continue to blossom.

Orange You Glad It’s The Weekend?

orangeyougladitstheweekendorangeyougladitstheweekendorangeyougladitstheweekendorangeyougladitstheweekendOrange you glad it’s the weekend? I am (because I can finally see my non-teacher friends) even though I’m trying to savor every last day of my summer break. Orange screams summer like no other. From the neon thread on the buttons of my button-down to my nails and lips – I apparently am screaming for summer to linger as much as possible AND I’m wearing an orange ring with an actual dried orange! It’s all in the details. What’s your favorite go-to summer color and any fun weekend plans?

Bryant Park

bryantparkbryantparkbryantparkbryantpark bryantpark bryantparkWow, I can’t believe I still have outfit photos from my first summer trip to New York way back when in June. I wore this the first day when Jill and I were hailing cab after cab getting to our destinations. Our first stop of the day was meeting up with our blogger friend, Maria, from Chicago who was leaving the same day we arrived. So what do three Chicago bloggers do in New York? We lunched at Fred’s, obviously.

After lunch, we stopped to smell the flowers and relax a bit at Bryant Park before our next appointment (hint I’ll be posting about that experience tomorrow). I just love how there are parks everywhere in such a bustling city.

Then the usual happened: shopping, exploring the city, attending a new art gallery exhibition and of course, late night dining in the rain and a Gossip Girl sighting. Sooo New York.
