Everybody in the Pool!!

With Spring just around the corner, I have begun my annual search for some new swimsuits. I spend most of my summer hanging poolside or at Lake Michigan, so by the end of the summer my suits are worn out!

Here are a few of my favorites from JCrew.

I am loving the ruffle details...

This is perfect for the day when you have overindulged the night before...

My favorite from Juicy

Trina Turk

The perfect cover up from Bloomingdales to slip into as I am on the beach watching the sun set over Lake Michigan, sipping my wine.

And of course this beautiful Trina Turk cover up that I personally would wear as a dress.

Hurry up summer!!

54.12

Saturday morning was the annual St.Patty's Day Race. We had absolutely perfect weather, sunny and 58 degrees. I was up bright and early ready to run.

My friend Mollie and I, downtown before the race..

20,000 people showed up for the race. That is a lot of people trying to run the same path. Typically this run is great for people watching, you see all kinds of interesting people and outfits while you are running.

2 very hot and exhausted girls after the run, cooling off in the beer tent, after running for 54 minutes and 12 seconds. After the race there is a parade, street fair, and plenty of green beer.

Saturday night, we went out to dinner and toasted ourselves for a job well done!!

Cheers!!

Race Day

Tomorrow is the big day!!

A 5 mile morning run in frigid temperatures deserves an afternoon at the spa, right?

Beautiful Things

I am always on the hunt for beautiful things for my home. You can imagine my utter excitement when I discovered this artist on etsy, from Milltini. She did a post on her last week and I was instantly smitten.

This is an original ink illustration with digital coloring of the iconic Chanel No 5 perfume

I ordered the poster and 2 days later it was at my doorstep. A little glimpse of what it will look like framed.

I have the perfect spot on my bathroom wall for this beauty. This artist has some amazing pieces, something for almost every room in your house. You can find her here.

Lovely Lace

Lately I have been drawn to lace. I love dressing up a lace top with skinny pants, leggings and skirts, or going a bit more casual by pairing a lace top with jeans. Here are a few of my favorites...
