My Barbie-inspired pink ensemble is rare. But when the sun hasn’t been around for days, and you’ve scored a pair of hot pink suede pumps that go perfectly with one of your favorite dresses, you just swipe on your Trish McEvoy Kisses lipstick and rock your head-to-toe hot pink.

Yes, white jeans after Labor Day. Yes, vegan leather.

I found this top at Behind the Glass in Auburn – it’s was my favorite boutique while I was in college and it remains one of my favorite places to shop today. The laser cut vegan leather tank keeps me cool while letting me get excited about the change of seasons that in on the way. And the shoes – I should have purchased a lottery ticket the day I hit the jackpot and found The Nudistsong Sandal by Stuart Weitzman for forty bucks in a sample sale. Yes, $40 and not $400. On such days, I’m incredibly thankful to have such tiny feet!

I love Saturdays when we’re home with few plans. We seem to stay on the go, which is also fun, but there’s something to be said about days when you can take your time reading the WSJ, drink multiple cups of coffee and enjoy a casual breakfast at the bakery.

We decided on a last minute getaway this past weekend, and it was much needed for ALL of us. Some days, you just need a cozy hotel room, relaxation and room service to unwind and recharge. And as I’ve gotten “older” I am very thoughtful in how I pack for weekend escapes. I like clothes that don’t require a lot of fuss, and this romper is by far one of the easiest and most versatile pieces in my closet. The options to accessories are nearly endless.

And look at Baby J. You can tell he received puppy pampering at its finest over the weekend.
