What do we have here?

My sister, Grace, came to visit this weekend. Our weekend was full to brim! More on that later.

Our biggest find? Probably  Christian Siriano's new line at Payless. I don't know that his shoes have been officially released, but we excitedly stumbled upon a few pairs in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Be warned, you will want to buy every pair. With their ode to Louibuiton turquoise bottom and walkable heel height/style, you will love these shoes. 

I'm just sayin'.

Meet My Crew Monday: Meet Turner

Photography: J. Rawlings

TURNER A veteran swimmer. Although she occasionally forgets how to hold her breath, she is always ready for the call of the water. This girl lives in her pink seer-sucker tankini. Once known for boisterous stunts off diving boards and dangerous shallow water dives, she has surprisingly remained in tact. After a brief break from the pool, Turner has left her pool side lounge chair and has gone for a game of water polo. The boy she is playing is alllll the way over at the other side of the pool. But the game is in full force! Hope this turns out to be a good game! This girl is one to watch.

Fly like the Wind!

To Gap! I went last night and they had darling things and crazy deals. I walked away with a pair of skinny jeans, because we all know the rules about jeans, and 2 tops. They are promoting their 1969 Jean line to the max. In fact, they'll take off $20 just for buying a pair. For real. And everything else is buy get one free. I'm not kidding! I thought it was a joke. All that to say, they had a great variety of jackets, patterns and flats. And barely any solid color v-necks. 

Thank goodness. 

Key Lime Cheesecake

From Magnolia Bakery.

I had some last night.

As Jamie wisely said, "When there isn't a line at Magnolia, you HAVE to get something."

It's practically a rule. Similar to the jean rule. If you try on jeans that fit well, you HAVE to buy them. Who cares if you already have 37 pairs. It's the rule.

So we got something. Jamie selected a Cherry Jumbaa..... something.

I had a packed little cheesecake and iced tea.

A perfect treat to take our attention off the oppressing humidity.
