This Week I…

Filed Under > Uncategorized

…hosted an amazing, amazing, words cannot express amazing giveaway for a Zac Zac Posen bag.  There’s still time to enter so don’t dilly dally (below).

…adored this weekend “to do” list from Lovelish.  A. it’s a to-do list you might actually be able to get accomplished.  And B. it’s pure simplicity seems sanity saving and just what I need at the moment.

…lusted over this dress.

…saw this list of best hotel bath tubs in the world which was right up my alley.  I’m a bather.  I just love a good soak.

…fell in love with J.Crew baby.  I mean seriously?!  Thank goodness all of my friends just had babies so I can get THESE, THIS and THIS.

…I found this hilarious even though I do use hashtags quite frequently.  JT and Fallon can really do no wrong.

…read the Delighted Magazine fall issue cover to cover.  I may be biased, but pages 21-29 are pretty major.

…learned about Golden Tote.  Genius!

…am heading home to Chicago.  I didn’t realize I was even excited to go back until I started searching for pictures to use in today’s blog post.  Don’t get me wrong I absolutely adore and love Atlanta, but Chicago has my heart (for now).  It’s funny how you look back on your life and it’s broken up into sections, or rather periods of time, marked by people you met, ways you grew, songs you sang, and places you lived.  Midland was where I was raised, Peoria where I went to school, and Chicago, well Chicago was where I grew up.  Where I became who I am now.  Chicago was where life really began to take shape.  And I cannot wait to get back, and walk the streets, breathe the air, and just relish in that time of my life.  Chicago, I’m coming home…get ready.  truly, MKR

  • I had no idea you had a Chicago connection! That’s where we’re from, and my dad’s entire side of the family still lives there. It’s one of the best cities in the world. Enjoy!!

    That dress is gorgeous! You would look stunning in it Mandy!! Love Chicago! My parents are from Chicago. I still have my Aunt who lives there and am due for a visit sometime soon. It’s such a great city. I hope to get back for a visit in the next several months. It would be fun to meet you and grab a cup of coffee. Happy weekend to you!
