She Sells Sea Shells

First things first… How in the heck is it already July?! This summer is seriously FLYING by. Makes me sad to thing that it’s about halfway over! However, with July comes July 4th, which is one of my favorite holidays. I’ll be spending the long weekend in Chicago and I couldn’t be more excited to get out of town for a few days!

There’s not much on the agenda besides eating and drinking… and eating some more! We’ve got dinner reservations at Untitled on Thursday night, a rooftop brunch at The Godfrey on Friday morning, a cookout & pool party in the suburbs on Saturday, and dinner reservations at Little Goat on Sunday evening. So if I come back weighing 10 lbs heavier, don’t be alarmed.

I’ve already started packing my weekender bag for my trip! Nautical and patriotic outfits are pretty much my favorite so I’m quite excited for all of the fashionably festive ensembles. I saw this Lilly Pulitzer dress and was instantly in love. It’s nice and nautical and simply perfect for 4th of July weekend and beyond! I added a red clutch for a little pop of patriotism and I’ll definitely be wearing this exact same outfit to one of our many reservations in Chicago. Rooftop brunch on the 4th, maybe?

What will you be wearing this weekend?!

    Sadly, I’m headed to our cabin which is in the middle of NOWHERE for the 4th- if I dressed at all patriotically, the only one people who would see my efforts would be my parents, cousin, and 3 dogs. Wahoo. Ha! Glad you have fun plans, I’ll live vicariously through you this fourth!

    That dress is darling! Very “patriotic chic” I’d say. 🙂 Sounds like you have an amazingly fun long weekend planned in Chi Town ! I myself will be grilling out and watching fireworks in the park with friends. I’m definitely looking forward to the holiday weekend! 🙂
