Sunshine Day

Today, I give you a bright combo to brighten your mood. Actually, who am I kidding? No one in Chicago should need help to get in a better mood, but in case you did wake up on the wrong side of the bed, I'll give you a few reasons about why I'm happy today:

1. The sun is shining.

2. It's Friday.

3. Our wedding shower is in one week.

3. Today is THREE MONTHS until our wedding.

4. Dan & I are doing a juice cleanse and it's day two. I'm proud of us for committing to this and supporting each other in making healthier choices. Hopefully this positivity shoos away any impending headache related to the detox process...

5. I'm rockin' out to a new playlist showcasing bands from this year's Lollapalooza. 

What are your five reasons?

Da Bomb

It is no secret that I'm a fan of jackets, so it was only a matter of time before I branched out from blazers to the bomber. I saw this one on the Forever 21 website and knew it would make a nice addition to my closet. With the graphic yet subtle pattern, it will mix beautifully with other patterns and textures. Plus, the thin and silky material can transition into the warmer months when I still have to wear sleeves inside the office. To really drive home the purchase? I saw this article on Who What Wear. On trend and on budget? That's da bomb!
