I'm eagerly anticipating Spring weather.  One day it's warm and the next day it's cold. I know cry me a river right?  I don't have too much to mention about my weekend but TGIF regardless!

I wore the above ensemble to work at Madewell.  I was inspired to pull this look together from a book called "A Denim Story" now available in store and Madewell.com  I love all the vintage images, it's such a great book!

Have a great weekend!

I must admit it was a little too hot to wear this wool blazer but I decided to wear it anyway.  It completed my look so I felt compelled to adorn it. I wore it to work at Madewell yesterday. On another note summer is quickly coming to an end. My daughters start back to school Aug 26th & 27th.  We will be trying to get in some more pool days before they head back.  

Style Week Pittsburgh wrapped up today and I hope you were able to enjoy one of the five events that took place.  Pittsburgh Fashion Week is coming up next and I look forward to just attending some shows as a spectator.  I will post more details as I find out myself.

Happy Monday and let's have a great week!

I hope everyone is keeping cool in the midst of our heat wave, it's that time of year where you wish and long for cooler days ahead!  We're headed to the pool today and I got my run in already.  This weekend is jam pack for us.  My oldest is running a 5K and I'm so proud of her talent/gift to run long distances.  She's only 9yrs old and entering the 4th grade in the Fall.  Excellence is something most folks aim for (I'm assuming) but it's especially a driving force in my life and I'm instilling this into my children too!  One of my favorite quotes: 

"Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Another fun exciting event on my schedule this weekend is my collaboration with Madewell this Saturday July 20th at Ross Park mall from 2pm-5pm.  I will be sharing some styling tips on how to perfect any look with the right accessories and reworking your favorite pair of denim jeans from meetings to date night and everything in between!  You can view more details and RSVP here:

After thrifting this beauty of a skirt, it hit me how fortunate I am to live in Pittsburgh where finding gems like this is still not too rare.  Thank you Pittsburgh! It even had a hem allowance that I let down for more length.  I love my maxis to graze the floor.

Happy Monday!
