Vera Bradley Blue

Tunic: H&M // Bag: Vera Bradley Quilted leather Emma Satchel // Sunglasses: Forever 21 // Necklace: Forever 21  // Sandals: Target

Every year we go down to the lakefront and grill out with friends and watch the fireworks for the 4th of July. This look would be perfect for lounging out by the water and waiting for steaks to grill. Yum!

This new blue quilted satchel of mine is pretty gorgeous, right? It's part of the new Vera Bradley collection and is proving that they are really stepping up their handbag game. It's perfect for work, but also goes with a casual outfit like this. 

Hope you all have a fun 4th of July weekend!

Montrose Beach Day

What do you do when a friend is in from NYC and wants to go to the beach? Lunch at The Dock on Montrose Beach of course! And what do you do when all your friends look super stylish (especially together) even in the Chicago heat? Feature them my blog of course! 

Dr. Jonathan and blogger babe Amy were so much fun to shoot with this fun beach backdrop. I mean could they have played the part any better? Amy may have some practice posing, being that she is a style blogger already, but Jonathan was a natural. Talk about a photogenic fella! I see a menswear blogger in training!

See all of our beach-y shenanigans with outfit details below!
