While I do love this tribal print sweater I am hoping today was the last day of the spring I had to wear it...I just want swimsuit season! 

The past few weeks I have been feeling this anticipation bubbling up inside me knowing that Up North cottage season is just around the corner. Our family's cottage is my absolute favorite place in the world and every year I somehow grow more and more fond of it. Since I used most of my vacation days on my big trip I have planned, the trips Up North will be fewer and shorter this year sadly so I have to make the most of every single one! 

Our first trip is planned for Memorial weekend and I feel like a little kid counting down the days to Christmas: way.too.excited. Although I may need to keep this sweater out of storage for a little while longer...it snowed Up North on Sunday! Here's to hoping it warms up and fast ;)

Casual Sunday

Trench Coat - Banana Republic // Vest- J.Crew // Turtleneck - J.Crew // Jeans - BKE Denim // Shoes - BCBGeneration // Purse - Dooney & Bourke // Bracelet - Target // Necklace - Thrifted

The weather this weekend was beyond amazing...for March in Michigan that is :). I was able to comfortably wear my trench coat and at points no coat at all! The cold February sure is tough to get through, but it truly does make you appreciate the rising temperature!

This past week has been really great having my sisters in town and my cousin over the weekend. We ate a lot of delicious food, had some good talks over drinks and coffee (and more food), and acted like our crazy selves like we always do when we are together. 

I'm sad to see them go, but I won't lie that I'm happy to get back to my normal eating routine. Don't get me wrong, I love eating out, but after so many days of it I just felt sluggish and bloated blah.

 Luckily the weather was so nice today and I could enjoy a nice walk with my mom, followed by an entertaining run through town with my friend. It feels so good to start the week with some exercise! Hopefully this will help motivate me to keep up with the routine :)

Happy Spring Forward! :)

Cold Weather Essentials

I had a rude awakening this morning when I walked out the door to head to work and was met with blustery winds and a temperature of -8 degrees! The second part of the rude awakening is when I realized how ill prepared my wardrobe is for the bitter cold.

Luckily for my poor planning self, most stores are having major sales right now on all of their winter items. While the majority of us may be in the heart of winter battling to stay warm, clothing retailers have their sights on spring and making room for their next collection's inventory. Go check out your favorite stores and see what sort of steals you can grab! You know I have my eyes on that J.Crew sale ;) I mean, an extra 40% off sale items?! I think I'm in heaven! *cue Hallelujah music*
