Funny Friday

Here are two funny videos to start off your weekend...Jimmy Fallon is just the best! Have a fabulous Friday everyone! 

The Proposal (I'm ENGAGED!)

I am so excited to be able to say that I am engaged to Dan! I am so blessed to have him in my life, I know that being with him will mean that everyday I will laugh and smile.  

He recently surprised me in Santa Barbara, dropped to his knee on Butterfly Beach and proposed.  The entire evening was completely magical and one of the best nights of my life!  He invited my family, his family and some of our close friends.  After he proposed (and I said YES!!!) we went to the Biltmore for a champagne toast and delicious appetizers and then everyone migrated to the restaurant we had out first date for an amazing dinner! Then to top it all off there was a party at my sister's house with melt in your mouth cakes and chocolate covered strawberries.  

Labor Day Weekend Sales!

I hope that everyone has relaxing end of summer/Labor Day plans for this weekend! Dan and I are planning on going to the massive Art Festival that will be held in the Milwaukee Third Ward on Saturday and then planning to have a relaxing BBQ Sunday evening.  

Milwaukee is hosting the 110th annual Harley Davidson Festival this weekend and so we are hoping to do a little people watching at it and then avoid the loud event all together. 

As I was browsing around online I ran across this round up of LABOR DAY SALES and wanted to share them with you! Enjoy the back to school and beginning of fall shopping.  This list includes Jcrew, Vince Camuto, and Bloomingdales...just to name a few! 

Enjoy!

Keds are for Kids...I think not!

Recently got some bright red Keds (yes I copied T-swift...) and they are so adorable and comfortable.  Athletic tennis shoes and jeans are a big no-no...but these Keds are simply charming! Wearing these around a city are a great way to be comfy without looking like a total tourist. Bensimon shoes (a French favorite) and converse (an American classic) are great alternatives as well! 

P.S. Check out the new Kate Spade for Keds they are fabulous! 

Statement Necklace

I recently purchased the absolutely lovely necklace in the photo above at JCrew and have not stopped receiving compliments on it.  There are so many pretty ones on their website; some with only crystals and others with colors and unique textures. These are PERFECT for the woman who loves quality costume jewelry but who is not quite reckless enough to purchase a Dannijo necklace. 

Also there is an additional 40% off on sale items currently, AND if you are a student you receive an extra 15% off (in stores)! I got mine for $25 which is SUCH a STEAL! 

Here are a few of my favorites that are on sale right NOW!

Carolina Herrera

This summer while I was browsing around Neiman Marcus there was a Carolina Herrera trunk show.  The patterns and colors were absolutely stunning.  I loved seeing the blue floral dress that Lucy Liu wore to the golden globe awards.  Definitely did not buy one, but they are sure lovely to stare at! Above are my favorite two formal dresses from the spring/summer 2013 collection. 

Here I am wearing my new favorite jeans from a boutique in Los Gatos, my Alice and Olivia vest from Neiman, and my new Nine West shoes that I LOVE found here. 

Coral for Decor

Now that we have plunged into the depths of summertime I keep finding myself craving for a way to create a beachy California feel in my apartment since I will be moving back to Milwaukee soon.  I have found myself (on multiple occasions I might add!) staring into the windows of Pottery Barn and lusting over the decor.  What has caught my eye the most has to be the coral. I want coral on my desk, table, and in the bookshelves.  

You can find it here! Above is my absolute favorite called "fan coral".
