Instant Replay: July 2013

I can’t believe it’s already August. July was a blur with two mini getaways: visiting my parents in northern Wisconsin with an impromptu drive to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula of Michigan and a trip to Chicago. I’m looking forward to a few weeks at home before spending Labor Day weekend in D.C.

Still obsessed with metallic shoes // Enjoying chocolates that were almost too pretty to eat 

Even if jeweled collars are falling out of vogue, I still love mine.

A beautiful weekend in Chicago

Enjoyed a lazy evening at the pool – my favorite way to end a summer day.

Trina Turk for M-Edge

When Dave gave me an iPad Mini for Christmas last year, I’ll admit that one of my first thoughts was “ooh, now I can buy a cute case for it!” Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot to choose from at the time and I settled for protecting it with a scarf when we traveled. It certainly wasn’t the best solution, but it worked until something better came along. So, you can imagine how thrilled I was when M-Edge reached out about their Trina Turk collaboration. An iPad Mini case with Turk’s signature designs? Count me in! Fortunately, it’s not all about the aesthetics with this case (although that’s a huge selling point). It’s generously padded and has a soft microfiber lining to keep the device safely stowed away. Much better than a flimsy scarf!

I have my eye on that yellow and grey case for the day I finally upgrade my phone to the iPhone5. (It probably won’t be too much longer. The home button on my iPhone 4 will sometimes open an app when pressed instead of closing everything.)

Special thanks to M-Edge for sending over the iPad case for review!

I’d hate to utter the F-word, but fall will be here before we know it. (I even received a September magazine in the mail on Tuesday.) A pair of pretty rain boots is the silver lining on those cool, damp days of autumn. I’m loving the preppy versions at Joules, especially the pair with the mustard-colored bow. 

1. Navy Dog Wellies, $72 // 2. Navy Evedon Wellies, $167 // 3. Black Evedon Wellies, $167 // 4. Navy Spot Wellies, $72 // 5. Navy Pheasant Wellies, $72
