Life Lately Vol. 5

Life

Wow, I can’t believe we’re already here…Memorial Day Weekend. AKA the kickoff to summer! Unfortunately, it’s been in the 50’s and raining the past week here in Boston so it doesn’t feel like summer. I just heard on the Today Show that this is expected to be the busiest travel weekend in over ten years! I think that’s amazing – as they say…

Currently Planning: Or should I say, finishing up planning….a surprise trip to Iceland! I’ll give more recaps next week but follow me in Instagram & Snapchat to follow my journey.

Currently Shopping: So many great sales happening right now:

The Nordstrom semi-annual 40% off sale. Now is the perfect time to scoop up a new cute summer dress, a gift for Father’s Day, or some new sandals. I’ve got my eye on this dress, this top and these sandals.

Anthropologie is also having an extra 40% off of sale items. Love this cute apron, this napkin set & these candle holders.

Currently Reading: In search of the perfect summer book. Jenna suggested “All the Missing Girls” as a fun thriller.  I need to peruse this Elle list, this Cosmo list & this Real Simple list – they all suggest “top books for summer”. There’s nothing I love more than an easy beach read.

Currently Searching For: Special ways to display our baby pictures & travel photos at our rehearsal dinner. It’s hard to find something that’s (a) not cheesy (b) not tacky and (c) unique! I wanted to do a slide show but unfortunately we won’t have access to a television or computer. Anyone have ideas?!
