It has been a loooong week. Work has been crazy (so.many.meetings) and Drew was out of town all week so there has been a lot of running around. Now he’s back and the weekend is almost here so I’m hoping to regain a shred of sanity before Monday.

All week I was hoping I might stumble into a freebie Forecastle Festival ticket since I’d love to go but there wasn’t a bad playing this year that got me motivated enough to spring for the tickets. Clearly, the outfit below was all primed and ready to go for a weekend at the Waterfront. Since that didn’t happen, I’ll be trying to beat the heat poolside and possibly hitting up a church picnic (if you’re not from around Louisville, the church picnic scene here is on point. cheap beers, lots of cheap games and poor man’s gambling tables – good stuff).

Oh and don’t forget that there’s a BUNCH of good sales going on right now. The perfect time to do your own ‘back-to-school’ shopping.  The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is open to everyone now (shop my picks here);  J.Crew is giving it all away, okay not really but you can get 30% off your entire purchase with code GOSHOPPING (thinking of snagging this while it’s on sale); LOFT has 60% off all sale items and GAP has 35% off regular priced items and extra 30% off sale items with code TREAT. 

American Flag Tank Top: Target (on sale now, get 10% off with code JULY)

Banana Republic Sleeveless Trench | Gorjana Necklace (on sale now)
Banana Republic Gold Flip-Flops | Sole Society Tote c/o (old, seen here)
