Happy Friday! There is a lot to celebrate; The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started today, Bastille Day is this Sunday, and Nadal vs. Federer / the Wimbledon finals are happening. Too much excitement for one weekend, let me tell ya! I have been watching Wimbledon all week long. I really hope Federer wins but if not I am happy with the other players- Nadal, Djokovic. Serena will obviously win for women’s, but Halep will give her a challenge.  I am SO sad Serena and Murray are no longer in the mix doubles, I was loving them playing together. Tennis is the Tony Awards of sports. Everyone supports each other and it is so nice to see.

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful time celebrating the 4th of July! I am home in Columbus spending time with friends and family. After a fun weekend in New York with my mom, we both flew to Columbus on Sunday. I am here until this Sunday, making it a nice long week home.

Happy Friday and happy Solstice! Today is THE day!!! I am hosting an event at the J.Crew 5th ave. store in Flatiron to celebrate National Stripes Day. Stop by anytime between 4-8pm to shop with me and receive 30% off– RSVP here. I am pretty excited for this event and that it is my 2nd hosting event at J.Crew. The reason why this one is so special is because I used to work at the 5th ave. store years ago. It’s come full circle. Feels pretty surreal. Anyway, if you are in NYC today PLEASE stop by, I would LOVE to meet you!!
