Loving This Week...

Happy Friday, all! I got a little lazy last night and am just bringing to you something today - very short, sweet and fun.  I've mentioned previously that our offices are located just on the outskirts of Philadelphia on a lot that is literally next door to the airport.  (I can get in my car and be at the airport terminals in about three minutes).  So seeing planes take off, land, be very close to the ground is normal to us - pending the flight patterns, they can be taking off every minute or so right out front (it did take a little while to get used to the noise but now it's second nature).

Derek was jetting off for a guys weekend yesterday and I didn't even think about looking to watch his plane take off until I got to the office until I saw others taking off! I quickly texted him and he was heading for the runway so we went outside to wait and enjoy the perfect 77 degree weather! We saw him take off and fly into the clouds - thanks to wifi he kept me updated with which state he was over too, ha!


It's a girls weekend around here so I'm looking forward to girl time, Stella time, convincing my parents to take me out to dinner (not too hard), some walks in this fabulous weather and... the big seasonal closet clean out! I can't wait to get that one done.  Some clothing items and accessories (many brights and Lilly items) might be hitting the blog for sale soon if anyone is interested! 

Other Happenings:
+ I shared this dress in a post last week and got it in the mail this week - definitely runs a little big so size down (I happened to see it in Florida and noticed how big so I already switched out my size)

+ I am loving this early spring kick that's happening this week - it's been just as warm as it was in FL last week.  Is this here to stay? I certainly hope so! All I can think of is all the spring activities and looks.

+ This wine cocktail (think moscato, vanilla and strawberry) sounds ah-mazing and something that I'll definitely be trying soon.

+ The fringe/tassel/pom trend has got me in love this season and I'm also a huge sandals fan so I couldn't pass these up at Banana Republic and with 40% off right now makes them just over $50.

+ The newest Lilly patterns are out for spring - with more coming in just under two weeks but they are giving away some awesome goodies with purchase on Saturday.  My favorite new items? This enna off the shoulder top and this emiko jumpsuit as well as the items below.  Every time I watch the Lilly snapchat I wish I was on the Lilly team, ha!

  4. So sweet that you were able to see his plane take off! Our new house is not far from my town's local airport, so on pretty days we get to watch the small personal planes take off and land. I love it! Like you said, the sound is second nature to me too. Love the dress you have on in the top photo!!!

  33. I did a huge closet cleanup too! It felt so freeing and I got rid of a bunch of stuff that I never wear! I still need to go through my shoes. I have a random question -- I am planning a little trip to Philadelphia soon and am looking for suggestions on what to do/see/eat. I'd love your suggestions!
