Dreaming of summer clothes...

Wouldn't it be nice if it were warmer? It snowed in Chicago this morning. It's April 18th. My friends say, "Welcome to the Midwest!"

 If I was on a shopping spree, I'd love to buy these fun blue Ray Bans! A friend of mine wore a pair like this and they look so cool. 

I also enjoy these Dorothy Gale blue gingham shorts and 

the Delaney eyelet skirt from J.Crew.

Who doesn't want to look as relaxed and as happy as this sidewalk stroll scene from Anthropologie?

Spring is just around the corner, I'm sure. But for now, I'll stick to my layers, overcoats, scarves, and mittens!

Have you met J. Crew's little sister? Madewell?

Have you heard of Madewell? I've been reading a few blurbs about the new store and was curious to read more. J. Crew opened a few stores under the brand name of Madewell (in LA, Dallas, and NYC). (If you are curious, check out their website:http://www.madewell1937.com). Here are some of my favorites, the high summer dress                               and the summer plaid tunic. Don't these look like nice summer staples?Please let me know if you've been to a Maxwell store or own one of their pieces!! 

Adorable clothes I've recently seen on the web!

 I loved sailing as a teenager and I wish I made time for it as an adult. I guess I could pretend by wearing this cute boat tee!

I love Cole Haan ballet flats because of their Nike Air cushioning. I think these teal slippers are sweet and sassy!

If I won the lottery, some of the things I would do would go crazy at Anthropologie and J. Crew! It's totally spring time in Seattle, how perfect is this Shadowed Vine scarf from Anthropologie? It would be so cute with the Chambray Cara dress from J. Crew!

Oooo la la.....

I'm so excited for my J.Crew brown paper package to arrive in the mail!

My husband's making enchiladas for dinner and we're watching Glee again, because it's our FAVORITE new show. It's also our go-to-feel-good show. When you need to decompress from a hard day, or week, this is the perfect show to watch. It's an instant comedic and musical relaxant!

I also wanted to share that there's a 30% off sale at J. Crew! It's soo exciting! All the beautiful colors, materials, and ruffles are now more affordable!  I've been eye-ing these lovely items below. Are you planning on taking advantage of this sale?

 Okay, back to Glee now. Have a wonderful Saturday night!

Friday night...

We went wine tasting at 509 wines on Lake Union and now we're watching Ally McBeal! It's a perfect Friday night.

Here are some of my favorite things tonight, (besides Ally McBeal!)

Our kitties love our new rug!

Check out this lovely new wedding Chiffon and organza dune gown on J.Crew. It looks like a beautiful snow queen gown.

Ode to J.Crew

Sparkly necklaces, sweet patent leather and suede slippers, J.Crew is a dream. Namely, I am the magpie in love with these favorite things.
