Beach Bag Steal

Love this bag for the beachy weather that has arrived in the windy city. I found it while perusing Target this afternoon. It is beyond oversized and can easily fit a large beach blanket, snacks, cover ups, sunscreen, books, and everything else you will need on a Saturday morning beach trip.

April Showers Supposedly Bring May Flowers

The rain has chased away my hopes of an early summer. Though the weather has given me an excuse to tote around my fabu Marc Jacobs graphic umbrella. Still I remain feeling glum. Therefore I scoured the web for an outfit that feels perfectly spring like.

Only in Chicago would 50 Degrees Feel like Summer

I woke up this morning with a smile across my face. Seriously, this is a rare
occurrence as I normally cannot even summon a smirk until I have an extra hot soy latte from Starbucks (how cliche??).

Yet there is nothing like a weather report hinting at the end of a windy and cold winter to jump start a girl's day. Despite the fact that the sun is shining (I almost forgot what sun was), the air still has a chill to it and it will barely reach 60 degrees today. But that has not stopped me from donning the most summery outfit I could find after sifting through my storage closet.

Wearing today: Blue gray jersey trapeze dress (Nordstroms) with a cropped beige pea coat (Urban Outfitters) and light gold flats (SM)

Sure...there is a slight chance of a fripple or two (he he) but in my book it is well worth it.
