greetings!

hope your summer is off to a fabulous start! things have been super busy around here. can't wait to go away on vacation in a couple of weeks!

anyway, while i was out shopping this afternoon i stumbled upon these "mackenzie-childs" HUNTER BOOTS! really, just when i thought i'd seen it all! ha! ha!

thoughts?

don't get me wrong, i am a huge fan of both HUNTER BOOTS and MACKENZIE-CHILDS but i am not sure how i feel about these boots.  lol!

greetings!

hope everyone had a fabulous memorial day weekend! we spent the weekend upnorth at our cottage in northern michigan.

it was nice to get away from chicago and escape the sweltering heat. well almost, it was 97 degrees when we arrived home....ugh!!!

thankfully the pool is FINALLY open! ha! ha!

anyway, while upnorth i came across these awesome styrofoam cups and napkins at a store over in leland, michigan.

"WEEKEND WATERFORD"

"COTTAGE CRYSTAL" 

"LAKE LINEN"

...lol!!!!

this afternoon i stopped over at TRADER JOE's for some groceries and across this small bottle of trader joe's 2009 late harvest moscato paso robles.

small, being that i got only 2 glasses worth of wine out of it! if you love sweet wine like i do, can't beat this wine for $3.99/bottle!

cheers!

enough already, lol!

how many is too many?

if i buy another bottle of perfume, please shoot me! ha! ha!

what is your favorite perfume at the moment?

OMG, seriously....

OMG! seriously, is this not the cutest set!

 i was at costco and came across this adorable chaise lounge, umbrella and side table over at costco.

seriously, what little diva wouldn't want chill out with this set this summer! best of all, the set was only $69.99! such a steal if you ask me! oh, too be young again! LOL!

oh well, once again i apologize for my lack of blogging! things have been really busy around here. we decided not to purchase the short sale we put an offer on. we have decided to hold out for something better. after all, it's still buyers market! for now at least!

anyway, yesterday i stopped over at homegoods and walked out with two lovely oil paintings. seriously, the framing alone costs more than what i actually paid for each of the paintings.

only thing left is to purchase 2 more picture lights to hang over each of the paintings. funny thing, those will probably cost more than what i paid for the paintings. LOL! sadly, these photos don't to the paintings justice! oh well...

so, of course, i stopped over at two different homegoods to see if i could find anymore that i liked, nope! maybe i will have better luck when i am in michigan next weekend?

hope you had a fabulous weekend! it's been so chilly here in chicago! wondering if spring will ever return? ha! ha!

oh well, time to make some chicken cacciatore with some amazing cacciatore sauce from a local chicago company that i picked up over at whole foods.  yum!

i'm back...

greetings!

apologies for the delay in posting! last week i was on vacation in florida and am finally getting caught up with all my emails. i'm not the biggest procrastinator for nothing, lol!

anyway, tonight i attempted to make sushi! yup, sure did! although, the rolls actually turned out more like hand rolls, lol!

while i florida, i stopped over at the tod's outlet in orlando and bought this beautiful black leather tote. i know, really another purse! like a need another purse, lol!

i am bummed that i don't know what style the purse is called?

not sure why but their receipts don't even reference the style on the receipt...WHATEVER! HA! HA!

i bought another tod's purse there 3 years ago and remember them keeping the tag then too! why??!! i don't get it?!?!

oh well, isn't it beautiful! the leather is so soft and i got it for a great deal!

oh, how nice it would be back in florida sipping on a mojito by the pool!

meanwhile, the weather here in chicago is so crazy! one day you need the A/C and the other heat!

i just don't get it, lol!

that's okay, i'll survive! LOL!
