I hope everyone had a great weekend!  We've been enjoying my mother in-law's visit and celebrating my oldest birthday.  She had a blast tie dying t-shirts and a sing off with her girl friends, needless to say I'm still exhausted from a busy weekend.
I wore this ensemble to work yesterday.  I remember a time when I use to hate dresses and now I want to live in them all summer long because they're so easy.  When it's hot I want to dress less and not be bothered with too much fuss.
Happy Monday!

Yesterday was my oldest daughter's birthday and she enjoyed a beautiful day filled with a hair salon appt., cake & ice cream, gifts and spending time with her grandma while she's in town.  Her official birthday party kicks off this Saturday.

I wore this ensemble yesterday and I was aiming for effortless boho casual.  I love those summer looks that evoke easy breeziness. I did want to mention that I purchased the now crop top as a nightgown off of Ebay and cut it to the desired length and hemmed it by hand.  I believe it turned out well!

TGIF!

I wore this ensemble to work at Madewell yesterday.  I was aiming for effortless boho chic.

Happy Thursday everyone!

We got back on Saturday evening from vacation.  It was a bittersweet departure from beautiful Cape May,NJ.  We enjoyed delicious food, miniature golf, the beach, poolside, thrifting and the zoo.  I look forward to returning in the near future and even told my hubby that I would like to make it our summer spot.

This week is the official start of Summer.  Do you have any exciting plans for this summer?

I wore this ensemble to church yesterday.  It was such a rainy day on Sunday but cleared up later on in the evening.  I cooked a special breakfast dinner for my hubby on Father's Day and he's off playing golf today.  I hope everyone enjoyed celebrating the special men in their lives!

Happy Monday!

I'm three days into my vacation and planned ahead with scheduled post.  I hope everyone is enjoying their week so far!

I wore this ensemble to work at Madewell the Sunday before I left.  I pulled this look together the day of.  I normally think ahead and pull my clothes the night before so I won't have to rush but I was able to pull this together fairly quickly.   I'm not sure about your process in getting dressed but I put a lot of time and energy into my appearance because it's an expression and extension of my heart's passion.  It also unleashes my inner confidence and helps me to tackle my day with fervour.  I would love to hear what your process is like!

Happy Wednesday!

The sun is back and hopefully for a long visit!   We leave on Monday for vacation and I'm praying that it will be hot enough to enjoy the beach.

I wore this ensemble on Saturday to work at Madewell.  I love how I made a boho look with skinny jeans. I was excited to wear my new old suede vest that I just scored on Friday.  I thought my hair was a prefect accessory as it reminded me of a 70s hairdo.  I've been enjoying wearing this bracelet as a pendant with my boho inspired looks.  I'm looking forward to vacation, yeah!

We are catching up on some much needed rain here in Pittsburgh.  The sunshine comes back our way this weekend just in time for the Pittsburgh Jazz Live concerts that are going on.  I'm hoping to attend a free concert for Chaka Khan this Sunday.  It all depends if I get my packing done by then.

I wore this ensemble to work at Madewell yesterday.  I realized I exuded a retro 70s vibe especially with my hair. Sorry for the non-smile outtakes, I was getting a little frustrated with my camera.  All my photos are taken with my tripod so it takes several attempts before a good shot.

I'm praying for great weather next week in Cape May for our vacation.  TGIF!

I wore this ensemble to work at Madewell last weekend.  As much as I gravitate towards boho chic looks I'm also drawn to polished ones as well.  It's something about the classy and put together women that inspires me.  I think it's the elegance and confidence that is alluring.

That is what I was channeling when pulling this look together, confidence and elegance wrapped into one.  Not too many accessories just the usual suspects.

On a different note my family and I are headed off for vacation next week to Cape May,NJ.  I'm excited for the beach and thrifting while I'm away.  Fingers crossed for good finds in Cape May xxxx

Happy Wednesday

Two Tone leather clutch - Gift Shop Brooklyn

       the lowdown:      

I wore this ensemble to a Pop-up shop event last Friday.  The Pop Up Shop showcased the work of Kiya Tomlin's dresses, Sandra Cadavid's handbags and Emy Mack's shoes.  It was a great event and all three ladies showcased their lovely collections of high quality wears.

I recently ordered this amazing two tone leather clutch that is handmade in Brooklyn by an Etsy shop called: Gift Shop Brooklyn.  I had been looking for a special metallic gold leather clutch and she custom made this one for me, I'm in love!  I was excited to take it out on the town that evening! I've never been a big fan of clutches but let's face it a great clutch can be the prefect accessory to pull a look together.

Happy Monday!
