We finally got some great weather on Tuesday for a pool day. I got to have an adventure with girlfriends in Chicago and a big yes to a Friday that is looking fantastic and a fun filled weekend ahead!
1. Mid Week Chicago Trip
So excited that my friend Michelle and I, who by the way, is the cutest and just lives a few miles from me, whose Instagram and Blog you have to check out, met up with some fabulous Bloggers/Instagramers in Chicago on Wednesday. Three of these ladies I have been following since the beginning of my blog journey and I was overjoyed to meet them IRL. I CANNOT wait to reveal to you who we met and gush about how much I adore each one of them! We shared food, laughter and so much fun with a great meal at RPM Italian and then headed over to GILT for chitchat and cocktails and more laughter.
Much MORE about our fun and these Chicago cuties on Monday!

4. Black and Grey and YES......Tie Front
I have been crazy about the tie front tops. This gray one is so stinking cute because it can truly be dressed up or down, has the cutest little rolled up sleeves, feels nice on and fits so good. I decided to add a long slit black skirt and a fun element with the Adidas superstar tennis shoes.

OUR GRADUATE
STRAWBERRY CRUNCH PARFAIT
Oh friends, when strawberry season arrives in our neck of the woods every June, I get so excited to make my strawberry crunch parfait! Then, when the fresh blueberries are here, it becomes a blueberry crunch parfait. Here is the amazing recipe I concocted several years ago.

TIERED TRAY EVERYDAY

I know I’ve shown you the many seasons and holidays that I’ve decorated my tiered tray; For Fall, Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day but for my indoor white one, I decided to just do a little every day decorating and this is how it turned out. Now, my regular wooden one, I do have a summer theme I’m working on to finish it off.
OUR GRADUATE
Here is our graduate, and I realized I forgot to share a Prom photo as well. Look how handsome and his all black tux!

We just word our local strawberry place will open for picking this weekend and I am hoping to go; though last year we had such a wet/watery season that they didn't taste all that sweet. I hope this year is a good crop because I LOVE strawberries!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the graduate! It must feel nice getting them all at least that far! And your closet is bottomless, I am convinced. I am going to have to check out those T-shirts. They are super cute and look comfy and totally match my weekend style! Have a fabulous weekend and I can't wait to hear more about this Chicago trip you went on!
ReplyDeleteI always want summer to slow down too! Congratulations to your graduate! He looked so handsome in his prom tux. Loving your white themed tier tray and that shenanigan enthusiast tee!! Happy Friday Friend!

ReplyDeleteVery fun about the blogger meet up! I love thread tank too.
ReplyDeleteI hate how fast summer seems to feel! Even though I've only been on break for 2 weeks, & still have 6-7 more weeks, the fact that I haven't really done a ton, & don't have a ton of plans, makes me feel like it's slipping by!
ReplyDeleteI need the champagne top. So cute. Loving the graduation photos!!! And that dessert looks heavenly. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJam packed with fun for this post! Love the black skirt tee look and agree time is going too fast! Happy Friday!
