Burgundy Ikat

For some reason I can’t escape pineapples (more on that tomorrow), so when the Limani Designs team decided to take a quick trip up to Michigan this past weekend, one could just imagine my surprise at the farmer’s market when I stumbled upon this non-edible pineapple. It’s the perfect accessory to the burgundy ikat dress I picked up from Madewell a few weeks back which by the way is the most comfortable summer dress ever.You’ll never hear me complain about fruit and who ever said fruit isn’t good for you was wrong!

P.S. the pineapple was later gifted to my friends who live in Michigan 😉

Bryant Park

Wow, 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.

Lighthouse

Last week was my first blogcation and although I missed writing, it was well worth the little time off. My best friend, D, and I went on an East Coast trip. Originally, we wanted to do a road trip along the coast, but then we remembered that we drove 12 straight hours to D.C. a couple of years ago and as mature adults, we automatically vetoed road-tripping this beach inspired trip.

We started in New York and then made our way to Cape Cod with trips to Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and finishing off in Boston. I believe we took every mode of transportation as well, but it was definitely worth it with views like this lighthouse in Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard. Martha’s Vineyard was serene and very picturesque, don’t mind all the lighthouse photos – I was feeling inspired and the lighting and colors were great. (And maybe I was pretending that I was summering in Greece being seaside, but shhh…)

P.S. isn’t D getting so much better at taking my blog photos?!
