June Wish List – Top 3
Hi everyone! I hope that you all are having a great week so far. I’m looking forward to this weekend so I can catch up on some much needed rest. I don’t know why I’m so tired this week. I went to Anthropologie to check out their sales and I looked over some of their new June arrivals. So far, I really like what I see. One of my favorite dresses right now is the Mariposa Lace Dress from Plenty by Tracey Reese. It looks like it will be very flattering on all body types. Another dress that I think is beautiful, but it didn’t make my list is the Sunblaze Lace Dress. It must be pretty popular because the dress is currently out of stock. I would love to see it in person and try it on. Here are my top 3 items from Anthropologie for the month of June. Again…I have another set of dresses on my wish list for this month. Do any of you have any favorites that you can’t live without this month?
Fresh Picks to Follow – Chevron Stripes
Hi everyone! I’m a little behind with my blog right now, so bear with me. This week’s Fresh Picks to Follow is going to be pretty brief and to the point. Chevron stripes have been very popular for the past several years and I believe that we are going to see a lot more of this trend this summer and fall. These stripes are a great alternative to the traditional horizontal and diagonal stripes because they look more modern and fresh. I’m really loving the fact that anyone can incorporate the chevron pattern in their clothing, accessories or in their interior design. For this week’s Fresh Pick to Follow, here are my top 10 pieces rocking the chevron stripe pattern. What do you guys think about this trend? Do you have any chevron stripes in your closet? Are the stripes already a part of your home decor? Let me know!

Moody Style: Setting Sail
Hi everyone…I hope that everyone is having a great week so far. I’m slowly easing into my life back here in Florida. I had such a wonderful time in Chicago, that returning home made me pine for the Windy City even more. For my first trip to the city, I think I saw and did as much things as any other tourist would do on their first trip. Luckily for me, I’m fortunate to have my amazing friend, M, graciously host my sister and I for the entire weekend. She took us just about everywhere imaginable and really made sure we had a fantastic time. Thanks M! I plan to post some of the highlights of my trip very soon. Anyways, I wanted to share a quick OOTD from the weekend. Especially since I ended up daydreaming a little at work today about my time on the sailboat. The boat ride was definitely the most relaxing part of my trip. Now that I’m back at work, I’m really longing to reverse time and set sail (again). But reality has set in and I just have to look forward to the weekend to relax. I’m hoping to catch up on my sleep and run some errands for my apartment – I know I have a fun weekend planned. How do you all get back to reality after a wonderful weekend getaway or long vacation? Do you have any tricks that you would like to share?

Moody Style: Cruising Altitude
I’m finally in Chicago for my Memorial weekend getaway. I’m super excited about seeing the Sears Tower, shopping on the Magnificent Mile, visiting 2 Anthro stores, going to the Navy Pier and eating at some amazing food. However, the only thing that I wasn’t excited about is the travel portion of my trip. Now don’t get me wrong, I love to travel, but I always get a little anxious when I have to go to the airport. I usually make sure that I leave my house about 2 hours before my flight, which ideally should be enough time to park and get through security. As much as I plan out my trip, I never know what to expect when I travel. On my way to the airport today, there was a small fender bender that backed up traffic on the interstate. Once I got to parking lot, I had to wait about 15 minutes for the shuttle. Also, my connecting flight was delayed about 20 minutes pushing my arrival time back.
With all that being said my number one most annoying thing about traveling is waiting to board and deplane the airplane. I know that everyone has to do it and I even know what to expect, but there is something about it makes me feel rushed. I usually have a tough time finding space in an overhead been and today one of my fears came true. I had to put my carry-on in an overhead bin towards the front of the plane and I sat in the very back of the plane. When I got to the bin my luggage was gone. I asked the flight attendants about it, but all of them were as confused as I was. As I walked on the jetway, I saw my bag being dragged by an older couple and I quickly approached them. They obviously grabbed the wrong bag. I was just glad that I saw them in time. Anyways, I’m not going to let this experience ruin my trip. I plan to have lots of fun this weekend. Do you have any pet peeves about the traveling process?

In the Mood: Céline Luggage Tote
 |
Some of my favorite bloggers have been sporting some variation of the Céline Luggage Tote lately. Check out Blair from Atlantic Pacific wearing the Céline Nano Luggage Tote (here) and Ahn from 9to5 Chic wearing the Céline Luggage Tote (here). Each time I see someone wearing one of the tote bags, I swoon. If you can’t tell I’m a little obsessed with this bag right now. I really love the look of this bag – the rigid structure, the matching wavy scrolls and all of the space and roominess of this functional tote.
I love it so much that I attempted to track down at least one of these tote, but I had a tough time finding one anywhere. And it seems like I’m not alone. Apparently there are some people who have been on a waiting list for months in hopes of buying this bag. The list gets longer especially when someone is looking for a certain color like the highly sought after fluo pink color pictured here.
The only thing that stopped me from putting my name on a waiting list is the price. I had a feeling this bag was a little pricey, but I had no idea how much. The average price tag ranges upward from $2000 depending on the variation of the tote bag. Looks like I’m going to be adding this one to my bucket list of luxury items. Do you love the Céline Luggage Tote as much as I do? Do you already own one? If so, what do you love about this bag? Let me know ladies!
