....is it September yet?

I ask because that's when Kimberly McDonald is launching her homewares collection!  There aren't a ton of images online, but this Lucite box with a beautiful geode perched atop the lid is stunning. 

I've been a bit obsessed ever since I first saw it (though for the life of me I cannot recall where).  Think of all the notes and baubles  it could hold--much loved mementos on display.  Luckily, my answer was only a Google search away, where I was able to locate this article on McDonald's collection, courtesy of British Vogue.  

And while it pains me that September seems so far away...it is my birthday month.  Maybe it's perfect timing after all.

Lolla Dress FTW!

Last weekend I had a complete blast at Lollapalooza in Grant Park in Chicago, IL.  Three days of fun in the sun (oh...minus a storm that required an evacuation) with great music and friends.  The only drawback, is that  Lolla destroys clothing. I've lost two pairs of shoes and a few shirts and a pair of shorts to the festival over three years, so this time, I prepared.  I went out of my way to buy clothing that I was alright with destroying.  My journey led me to Macy's, where I found this SUPER cute dress.  It's the Pansy Tank Dress from Cynthia Rowley's Print Edition.

First and foremost, it's black.  All the better to hide the grass stains and dirt.  Plus, it's a super breathable jersey knit.  Not enough?  There's a bit of a train in the back--perfect for lounging in the grass.  BUT, the real kicker?  The pansy print on the front makes me look super skinny.  BINGO.

The best news?  IT SURVIVED!  I'm ecstatic that it didn't have to go down as a one hit wonder. 

Sadly, I can't seem to find it on Macy's website, but it is still available for purchase on Cynthia Rowley's site.  Better yet, unlike most of my obsessions, this one is super affordable at only $88!  Even if it isn't your speed, you should definitely check out the Print Edition Collection.  I'm certainly a fan!
