So Long ...


[via]

Autumn doesn't officially begin until September 22nd and I'm sure there are still a few warmer days ahead but there is something about the last day of August + Labor Day that has me saying so long summer!

The Lucky One


[via]

If you're like me, you love a good love story. Most of my favorite movies happen to be in this genre. And I can honestly say I watch them more times than any human should [Ps I Love You should really be taken away from me]. So I was beyond thrilled when one of my roommates text me last night asking if I wanted to watch The Lucky One.

 I kinda want Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling to be together forever in real life.
They would make one good looking couple.

But seriously, I had seen the movie in theaters when it first came out and was just as excited to see it again. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do. That is, if you are a fan of love stories, two insanely good looking lead characters, an adorable little boy, beautiful locations, all mixed in with a few good laughs.

On My Wish List

When I was a little girl I fell in love with a bright red claw-foot tub. At the time I was delivering Girl Scout cookies around the neighborhood. One stop was to a beautiful old home built during the first World War. My mom being curious about the inside asked the owners if it would be possible for a tour, to which they said yes. There were many great things I discovered that day, but the one that sticks out the most is that red claw-foot tub.
It has been on my wish list ever since. And although the color has changed from red to white, I still am as in love as I was the first day. My dream home is an old farm house with at least one bathroom dressed up like one of the images above: all white decor, a beautiful white claw-foot tub and of course a gorgeous chandelier.
Some day ....

Must Have Piece



One of my favorite things to do with an upcoming season change is to check out the 'New Arrivals' section of my favorite shops. While the bank account doesn't allow for a full closet overhaul it is always fun to do a little dreaming. And per the usual I've fallen in love with everything that Madewell has to offer. One piece in particular is this top. I'm completely in love with the combination of the scalloped edges and the beautiful detailed lace. Pair this with dark denim, a fitted blazer, fun pumps and a colorful necklace and you are set for a night out.
Oh, and I can't forget to mention this beauty, or this one, and even this dotted treasure ... a few must have items!
