Words can’t describe how happy I am that it is Friday. It also happens to be my first weekend in Chicago in five weeks, and my last weekend in Chicago this summer – how depressing! How is it already half way through July? I guess over halfway through now, so this weekend is all about savoring these sweet summer days. What have you been doing to enjoy/get out of the heat? I am longing for a pool day complete with a good read, a beach tote, a fun towel, and friends. I also plan on indulging in a couple of brunches, bbq’s, a trip to the farmer’s market, a hot yoga session, and some frozen yogurt. On another note, have any of you taken advantage of the summer sales going on right now? Here are a few of my favorites:

Rebecca Taylor is offering an extra 40% off all sale! This floral dress, this eyelet dress, and this cashmere sweater would be wardrobe staples for seasons to come. Plus, all of the items in her special sale are amazing. Enter code RTSUMMER13 at checkout.
