jumpin' into monday.

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  We had a great one.  The bocce ball birthday party was a blast and the bridal shower I went to could not have been more fun (always great to catch up with my college girls).  I also managed to sneak in a quick shopping trip to Zara (shhhh!).  Well I did say that I was trying to embrace more color and pattern into my wardrobe and I do believe that this jumpsuit fits the bill.  I'm already pretty obsessed with it.

cheers.

It's finally the weekend.  Woo Hoo!  This week seemed to crawl by at a snail's pace.  Perhaps it's because we have a fun filled two days ahead of us.  We are celebrating a friend's birthday by playing bocce ball (what a fun birthday party idea), I'm attending a bridal shower for a dear college friend, and we have some family time planned so I can squeeze my niece and nephew.  YAY, cheers to a wonderful weekend!

it's summer.

Today it is freezing out.  Like grab a jacket before you head out the door kind of coldness.  Here in the city we were a little spoiled the last few days with sunny warm weather, but apparently our "true summer" has hit.  But I refuse to pull out my jeans and am instead throwing on a maxi skirt, a thin sweater and throwing on a lightweight jacket.  Layers, layers, layers.

call me maybe.

It's only Wednesday, but I'm ready for it to be Friday.  To help me get over this mid-week slump, I've been watching this video on repeat.  Rebecca Minkoff, Hilary Rhoda and the Man Repeller rockin' out to Call Me Maybe is too good to not share.

studs & fringe.

You know when you leave a store slightly regretting that you didn't buy something?  Well, that's the case of these two lovely little pieces from Zara.  I tried them on a week ago and have been dreaming about them ever since.  That jacket with the studded collar...yes please!  Oh and I'm certainly a sucker for anything fringe.  That skirt could so easily be dressed up or down.  Eeeeekkkk, I may have to make a return trip.
