Weekend Wrap Up

 weekend attire consists of uniforms, like this 
baseball tee my brother gave me-i love it! 
 creating road trip playlists, courtesy of 
kate spade. 
 new subscriptions and making new routines. 
as a little girl of the 90's when you have an older 
brother your childhood favorites include sandlot,
 little big league, the mighty ducks plus more...
 summer is around the corner which calls for 
new sand colored sandals. 
 research and a little light reading.
 enjoying a ducks game with the beau. 
craving a turkey sandwich from my favorite 
manhattan deli.

Simple Dresses

The prefect light, easy, simple summer dress. Just like I tend to head towards the greys and navys I also have a particular soft spot for simple, solid color, non-patterned outfits. I know boring, but sometimes you just want a clean cut and simple outfit, right?! Like it, love it, head on over to J.Crew

this week's favorites...





I'm already dreaming about summer and all the fun swim accessories that are about to come out, but I'm especially in love with these beautiful old fashion swim caps, if only they were still fashionable pieces. What are you looking forward to this summer?!

The Daily Escape

I've been a traveler most of my life. I've seen glaciers and a pod of orcas jump waves near the Alaskan coastline while aboard an Alaskan Cruise. I've stood in front of monumental viking ship in Oslo, Norway and while I cherish every experience of my travels,  one of my favorite excursions  was going to New Orleans, Louisiana. I went for the American Anthropology Association with the anthropology club I was a part of in college and we had a blast. I made it my mission to have an unforgettable trip for the three days we were in the city. From dueling piano bars singing and classmates singing happy birthday to me to stuffing my face with Cajun food and drinking alcohol in fish bowls, roaming Bourbon street and the French Quarters, not to mention standing in an hour line just to try those famous beignets, I would do anything to go back to New Orleans. Where in the world is your favorite city?!

To the Beach

For the past month all I've been thinking about is getting in the pool and wanting to hit up the beach. Now that it's starting to warm up I'm ready to haul out the swimsuits and my panama hat, pack a picnic, grab for a volleyball and escape for the day with the man and take a day off for the beach. I want to jump the waves, build sandcastles and play with my stick-um velcro catch, remember these?!

Ace and Jig






I found this brand while perusing Pinterest one Sunday evening and I'm absolutely in love with the collection. The dresses in the second and fourth image I'm especially digging, they look so light and airy, perfect for this spring and summer season. What are some new brands you've come across lately?!

this week's favorites...








Unfortunately Olivia came along in 2000, so as a child I was never introduced to her. But I'm almost positive that if she were, I would have had my mother read her stories to me every night as a little girl! Bottom line, I love Olivia!

Hand-Written Letters

I once read a book about two young girls who were pen pals, they became the best of friends even though their relationship remained in the words they wrote to each other over a few years before they eventually met.  So of course after reading this particular story that now I cannot remember the name of, I wanted so bad to have this sort of relationship with someone, someone far, far away from me. Now in the era of social media, text-messaging and email, I'm curious to know if anyone still communicates through hand written letters across states or countries. Is this a lost art, the art of writing an unknown individual a hand-written letter, are kids encouraged to practice this anymore?!
