Blazer, fashion, polka dots, spring

YOU GUYS. This week I….

1) Woke up to birds chirping.

2) Fell asleep to a thunderstorm.

3) Watched snow melt in 60 degree weather.

4) Wore my Spring sweaters.

5) Sported my Wellies.

6) Went for a walk with Tad and the pup.

7) Praised the good Lord above for SPRINGGGGG. Please oh please let it stay??!

The only thing I wish I could change is the dang black cat in the neighborhood that sits on our fence every day drooling over the newly created birds nest above our kitchen window. Damn cat! Scat! Those birdies need to fly! How high can cats jump? I’m seriously worried he’s going to snatch the birds! Google search: how to turn your neighborhood cat into an herbivore.

On a happier note, I dreamed up an outfit this week that consists of only the spring essentials: umbrellas, polka dots, and pastels. Sign. Me. UP!

Fancy dinner with wine? Fancy carriage ride with roses? Fancy night on the couch with wine?

I think we’re going for the latter! With some big events coming up this Spring, nothing sounds better than dressing in our PJs, ordering take out, catching up on some Downton Abbey, and sipping on some wine.

What about you? Any big plans for V-day? I’d love to hear ’em!

Since we’ll probably be spending the evening with our two favorites, couch and Chardonnay, I’ll be dreaming of this outfit! How perfect would this get- up be for a night on the town?! I’m so in love with the blouse-tucked-into-skirt look… so so chic. I’ll take one of everything, please!

J.Crew- Silk Georgette Blouse

BaubleBar- Crystal Flora Bib

Saint Laurent- ‘Monogramme’ Clutch

Sarah Chloe- Love Ring

Philosophy- ‘Kiss Me’ Exfoliating Lip Cream

Bobbi Brown- Illuminating Bronzing Powder

Deborah Lippmann- ‘Break 4 Love’ Nail Polish

Chicwish- Faux Leather Midi Skirt in Navy

Happy Thursday! It’s almost the weekend, friends!

Honeymoon Dreams

beach, honeymoon, swimming, vacation, Wedding

This is not my first post about my future honeymoon and this certainly isn’t the last. Can you blame me? The winters in Kansas City last a littttle too long for comfort so I gotta dream of beaches and piña coladas to get me through them! We had a deliciously warm (uh…relatively warm) weekend and it was amazing. It gave me a taste of what’s to come! Bring on the swim suits and sunnies!

P.S.- I mentioned it here but the honeymoon is a complete surprise! Tad booked it in an unknown location with plans of me finding out on our flight there! The only clues are that I’ll need to bring beach wear and a passport. He only has to keep it a secret for just 4.5 more months… Let’s see if he can do it!

Below are some items I’m currently coveting! I can’t wait to pack for seven glorious days at this secret location.
