Home Sweet Home

There's nothing like coming home after eight days away. Ohio was fantastic, but it feels great coming home and lounging around before getting back to work.

No Bad Days

Stripes and Sandals

Today was comfortable and casual in a simple dress and sandals. I'm over here trying to keep cool in this hot Ohio summer!

Favorite Summer Swimsuits

I feel like I've gone overboard on suits this year! I've spoiled myself by spending many of my summer days at the pool soaking up sun — and scooping up lots of mix and match suits to accommodate. Click through to see some of my favorites this year.

Green Gingham

I love the square halter neckline of this dress. It reminds me of all the cool-girl 90s styles I looked up to as a pre-teen. This dress from Metisu is making its normal rotation into my summer wardrobe.

Don't Forget

Happy Monday! Giving y'all a reminder that today is the last day to enter to win shoes from Rhea! Head over to last week's post to find out how.

How method Inspired My Greener Living

One of my favorite things about Chicago is that I learn new things every day. There are places, people, neighborhoods, shops, and restaurants to discover nearby. I was fortunate enough to tour one of these inspiring locations last week — Chicago's very own Southside Soapbox (the method home factory) and Gotham Greens Urban Greenhouse. After an exciting behind-the-scenes look, we did a walking tour of the Pullman neighborhood. It was a fantastic day, so be sure to click through for more eye candy from my day on the city's southside.

You've Got Nail 73

This month I took a little break from my Scratch wraps and decided to try out the nails that got me into false nails — Claire's and Icing! Most people don't know this, but Claire's and Icing Stores were my first retail jobs. I worked for the company when I was in college and managed stores in the Columbus, Ohio, area. Weird, right? Well, I used to buy their faux nails because they always had some cute designs and were really affordable. I decided to try out some of their current styles and kicked it off with these matte camo stilettos. Nails courtesy of Icing by Claire's. See more nail styles here on the Claire's or Icing website!

Not Without My Coffee

Good morning! I hope you are enjoying your weekend — I'm spending mine lounging around the city and enjoying coffee in this summer heat.
