Have a happy weekend!

Happy Friday, loves! We made it.

First of all, I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your kind words of encouragement yesterday. You guys are the best. The blogosphere is such a world of support and I am so proud to be a part of it.

This weekend I plan to RELAX. I am going to sleep in, drink coffee on my porch, get outside, cook breakfast, hit the gym, take a walk along the lake, sit poolside, and roam around the Sheffield Garden Walk {my favorite summer festival in Chicago!}. The weather is still saying hot so I plan on living in my bathing suit, a cotton dress, sunglasses and beach dried hair. I can't wait.

What are you up to?

PS: Have you seen The Jump Book by Philippe Halsman? I'm sure you have, it was a blog favorite a year or two ago. Anywho, I love these images, they are so carefree and feature icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn. I think it would be a wonderful coffee table read.

Our trip to northern Michigan was exactly what I needed - relaxing and refreshing with tons of sunshine and fun on the water. We began our weekend on Walloon Lake at Kevin's amazing cottage - losing track of time, spending the day on the boat, grilling dinner amidst a breathtaking sunset and celebrating America's birthday. The weekend rapped up in Traverse City where we visited Dave's family, floated the river, and went to the National Cherry Festival. It was a whirlwind, and I am looking forward to spending some time in my favorite place - sweet home, Chicago.  

Happy Tuesday! So sorry for the lack of post yesterday, still playing catch up! xo

PS: I am positive that I have to have a Nespresso machine. They are magical. Thoughts?
