I am going to Europe for a couple of weeks this summer and I am stressing out about how I am going to pack 39 outfits in one luggage. I am pretty sure it is going to be nearly impossible but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. One of them being sneaking some stuff into DH suitcase. Shhh don't tell him. 

One of my favorite things that I discovered a few years ago is the convertible dress. It is a dress that can  be worn in a number of different styles and I think it is a great idea and something I will definitely be including in my suitcase. They can be expensive (think upwards of $200 bucks) so here are some options that I found that are a bit more wallet friendly. 

If money is no object this version comes in at over $300 bucks. One day I may invest in one of these but for now it is a bit out of my price range.  This is a great option for formal wear. 

Gilt currently has this version on sale for about $100. Definitely well worth it if it is within this budget. 

Last but not least Target comes to the rescue with a version that comes in at 34.99.  This is a great deal and definitely a great way to try out the trend before investing in it.

Happy Summer.  The unofficial start of summer was this past weekend and I had the opportunity to celebrate with some wonderful friends in Cape Cod. Although the weather did not exactly cooperate most days we made the best of it and had a great time. Here are some highlights from my week and weekend. What did you do for Memorial Day Weekend?

Special thanks to Emme, Kati and Lizzy for putting up with me and also taking some of these pics :)

Last Summer while out with friend at the Cape I ruined my beloved White Blazer. It was towards the end of the summer so despite the fact that I was devastated I didn't miss it too much. Now that we are in the Spring and fast approaching the Summer I am in desperate need of a white blazer. Of course I need something budget friendly so here are some options I am looking at. 

This was an extremely LAZY week for me. Outside of work I did a whole lot of nothing this week. There was a lot of sleeping, bad eating and no gym.  I did get a lot of rest this past weekend though so I am ready to hit the ground running this week. Also have Memorial Weekend to look forward to. That is always a plus. 

Even though I have some new found energy and plan on posting a bit more this week it is going to be busy work wise so I will try my best. (Glad I enjoyed a lazy rainy weekend in bed).  Here is how this past week went.

A lot of people ask me how I manage to have a full time job, go to the gym, cook most of my meals and blog.  All this while making it to bed by 11 every night. Oh yeah and I kinda have a social life too. I am not too sure how to answer that but guess what. Life has finally caught up to me which is why I have been a bad blogger lately.  I think planning for my summer has pretty much pushed me over the edge. As of Memorial Day Weekend I pretty much have plans for every weekend through mid July. I am pretty sure I am going to spend most of August sleeping. Haha. There is lots to look forward to and although there may be days  when I won't be posting I promise I will have lots to share when I get around to it. In the meantime here is how my week went. 

Remember at the beginning of the year when I said I was going to take a picture a day for 365 days. Well let's just say that went down the drain this week. I totally fell off the radar mid week last week. I did make up for it this weekend. It started off with a lot of wine and ended with the Five Boro Bike Tour. 

...And now for the highlight of my weekend. On Sunday morning we woke up at the crack of dawn and find out way to lower manhattan for the Five Boro Bike Tour. This tour is a 42 mile ride through New York City's five Boroughs. It is a traffic free ride which is always a treat and it is a great way to see the city. This was my second time doing the tour and I have to say it was just as amazing as the first one. I am soo excited that I had the opportunity to do it and cannot wait to do it again. This time I did not stop in every borough to take pics but I did manage to get a few shots. Here are some highlights from my day.
