It's been a crazy few weeks! I am finally back in Chicago and have not had a chance to load the new site design. My sister will be in town this week, so please pardon the current mess. I threw this new little banner up for now -- but a new look is coming soon. It has been ready to go for a while now. I have just been busy with blogs, some new pre-mades (which I am waiting to debut)...so stay tuned!
Last week I noticed that a spot on my forehead had gotten a little darker. I called my dermatologist the following day to have it checked out. Turns out it was just a sun spot. She froze it off -- no big deal. I asked her to check a mole on my neck and she said it was fine. I suggested that she check my back and when I lifted up my shirt she saw a mole that she wanted to remove.

I would love a beautiful outdoor sanctuary.

Happy {almost} summer!
See you on Monday for a week of summer!

A reader emailed me to ask if I had any suggestions for a duvet cover for her dorm room. Since I love a project I offered to put a little inspiration board together. I wish I had the knowledge, skills & talent to do this all day.
Lexi & her roommate love gray, turquoise, yellow & coral. I know it's pretty basic but here is a look at what I came up with. Collapsible hamper, a cozy floor pillow, a few art prints & a rug to warm things up.
It's always so fun putting together a new look for a room. I love switching out accessories to change up the look of a room. When comes to furniture -- you need something that will last. I have always been about neutral pieces which will allow you to change your color scheme. For the perfect bed & bedroom furniture, visit bedstar!

Last week I met some lovely Chicago bloggers at Rockit in River North for drinks & appetizers. Rockit is one of my favorite places in Chicago. Downstairs you will find a fantastic restaurant & upstairs -- a lively bar with pool tables {fun}!
A special thank you to the people at Rockit! The event went so well thanks to the wonderful venue! I would not hesitate to host another event at Rockit. Great drinks, fabulous atmosphere & delicious food. Mix that with a group of fabulous bloggers and it's a recipe for a wonderful night.

In the martini glass? Rockit's famous "grape nuts" - grapes with GOAT cheese {because it's not just "cheese"} & toasted pistachios. SO good!
