5 Random Monday Thoughts

Summer is just around the corner- so close I can feel it (almost)...can you? May has been quite a busy and hectic month to say the least.

• Memorial Day Weekend is rapidly approaching. Cannot believe it is already next Monday! Check out my recommendations for packing your bag.
• Warby Parker, the eyewear brand we all love, is also prepping for warmer weather with the release of their summer eyewear collections. I am loving all the different shades of tortoise!
• Summer Travels- have you been to Portugal? Did you love it?
• I cannot get enough of passing spring afternoons at Ladurée in SoHo with pastries and coffee. Definitely a must do if you are visiting the city soon!
• This week my Pinterest board feature is men's fashion. So many good looks and new summer collections, I am just dying to shop :)

It's great to be sitting here writing this on a sunny morning- it seems like they have become a rarity here in the northeast. The Kentucky Derby was this past Saturday. I would love to hear about if you went, went a party, and especially what your wore!

• In the home stretch of school which means lots of projects and deliverables. Cannot believe it is all coming to a rapid end.
• Summer is on my mind and Ralph Lauren is having a private sale right now. I love all the beach towels, especially this art deco one.
• El Vez just opened in New York (if you are familiar with the one in Philadelphia) and I checked it out. Must say, I am definitely partial to the Philadelphia one, but Stephen Starr does not disappoint!
• I need to start thinking about graduation gift ideas. Watches always seem appropriate. Movado is on RueLaLa- thoughts on the brand? Passé or still cool?
• Since it is Cinco de Mayo (any plans?!) I thought I would do my "food" board as the featured Pinterest board. It has become more drinks than food- filled with great sounding sips!

I am excited that we are getting ready to turn the calendars to April. March seemed to want to hold on to winter for yet another month, so here's to hoping that we finally turn to spring with April as we turn the calendar!

• Today only- select spring styles from J.Crew are 30% using code "ShopSpring"
• I have been struggling with a phase of my life with what is, perhaps, the most uncertainty regarding the future that I have had to experience....have you had a phase like this? What did you do to get through it?
• I had a wonderful trip to SuitSupply in Philadelphia this weekend- more on that later!
• Have you seen The Book Thief? Watched it this weekend and highly recommend it.
• I mentioned cocktails the other week, and have been pinning quite a few great recipes recently- Check out my food board to see what I think sounds good!

As I sit here typing this, it is probably not a shock that I am about to type: it is supposed to snow. While spring was ushered in with a mild day, it is back to feeling like January. I have never been yearning for summer so badly after this winter!

• This is definitely a typical Monday filled with the struggle of getting out of bed after a nice long week off for spring break.
• Have you seen the Ralph Lauren Spring Prep delivery? Simply perfect! 
• Currently have All of You by Peter Thomas on repeat...obsessed. Plus it sounds great in my new V-MODA headphones.
• Also loving the J.Crew spring line and with 25% off or 30% for cardholders it is quite tempting!
• I recently was turned onto a new Italian wine that I am loving- Ruché....have you had it before?

We are off to another snowy, cold week in the northeast. This winter has been downright brutal with storms nearly every 3 days....cannot stop thinking about summer on the horizon!

• Its officially fashion week here in New York. Have you been following the shows? I went to the Antonio Azzuolo presentation, and have a few other things planned before the week ends. 
• Valentine's Day is Friday...not prepared! I am never big into holidays like this, but feel like I should do something this year. Will share gift ideas later in the week!
• Have you been following the Olympics? I loved the opening ceremony outfits from France...well done Lacoste!
• Following @LTPreppyGlasses on Twitter to stay up to date with posts on the blog and other musings!
• How many more days until spring?!?!

It is going to be quite a long week ahead, but

Hello, February! Glad to see that January quickly departed us, meaning one less month between now and spring/summer!

• While January may be gone, this Monday is starting off with yet another snow storm in here in the northeast....this is getting crazy!
• Join Skimbaco Lifestyle and Red Envelope's #50ShadesofRed Twitter party tomorrow night at 8pm EST...I will be co-hosting! Follow @LTPreppyGlasses. Lots of amazing prizes! 
• Speaking of Valentine's Day...what do you normally do? 
• Sales- There are still a lot of great winter sales going on including Ralph Lauren- up to 70% off! Sizes are really picked through, but worth checking out.
• Looking for spa recommendations in NYC...which has been your favorite? 

Happy Monday!

Glad to say that January is almost officially over. One cold month down and only a few more to get through until spring and warm weather....but who is counting?

• Today marks the official start of my last semester ever. It it kind of weird, but I could not take it all in as I overslept an hour and literally ran out of my apartment within 15 minutes...lazy day chic?
• Sale season has been very hit or miss this year. I usually count on the Bergdorf Goodman "Grand Finale", but was quite disappointed in their selection this season. Needless  to say, I did a lot of damage with the end of season sales at Mr. Porter and Jeffreys in New York.....have you picked up any good sale finds?
• The countdown to the olympics is really getting down now. I always love to see the official outfits sponsored by Ralph Lauren. The signature opening ceremony cardigan is already sold out, but I love this turtleneck...so preppy and perfect for winter.
• I recently had dinner at Gemma, a favorite here in the city. I just cannot stress how great it is, and never disappoints. You must try when visiting the city!
• Finally, Skimbaco has released the first edition of a digital magazine, and would love for you all to check it out here!

Its been quite a Monday already...here's to hoping for a good week!

Happy official New Year to all! Do you have good feelings about 2014, the year ahead? I think there will be a lot of different things coming my way this year. 

• I think most of us in the Midwest and Northeast would say we are ready for spring. The weather is been quite nasty. It will be feeling like -10 to -20 tonight....I'll take a sunny beach instead!
• I am ready for the commencement of fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, and London, followed by New York in February. Always an exciting time!
• For all the Lilly Lovers, do not forget the online sale currently going on! 
• Only 31 days until the start of the Olympics in Sochi!
• As the we start a new year, it is time to plan travel. I am deciding what to do for spring break, and was inspired by this quote from pinterest:

Will you be traveling any where exciting in the upcoming year?
