This weather, and weekend, has got my brain spinning with all sorts of summer soiree planning, but my favorite way to enjoy the summer is a quiet picnic in the park. Nothing screams summer like throwing down a blanket in the grass and enjoying a refreshing cocktail with a big ole wheel of brie! Am I right or am I right? Today I’m sharing a mouthwatering cocktail recipe with Belvedere Peach Nectar. Now do I have your attention?

I’m one happy kid today! This summertime Chi weather has got me all like (smiley emojis). I think if you are a Chicagoan the weather has a direct effect on your mood that day – right? We all can finally emerge from our dens to and enjoy the heat, sunshine and summer fashion! Eeek! I’ve gone on a shopping spree stocking up on all things summer – live in the moment right? I’m kick off this summer fever with likely my favorite twinset in the game – this vertical striped twinset is perfect and light for any hot summer night. And it’s under $40. You’re welcome. Pair it with a straw boater hat and you look like your half-way to Paris!

Now I’m normally not one for pink, but a trip to Sweet Mandy B’s in Chicago warrants a lot of color, and besides, it’s almost Valentine’s Day! Now, Valentine’s Day isn’t something I like to jump up and down about, but I love a good excuse to dress up don’t you? In case you missed it, check out my DIY Valentine’s ideas here for the gal pals in your life! In honor of the holiday I grabbed everything pink I own, true story, and combined it all into one look. This pink midi skirt is heaven and I’ve been dying to find an excuse to wear it this winter.
