I'm back! My trip to Chicago was beyond busy, filled with fun new memories, new friends, my wonderful family, and some new extended family members. I'm so glad to be back in warm(er) Maryland. The sun is shining, there isn't any snow, and my bed was very warm and comfortable last night.  (Aren't airplane pictures the best?! Chicago & Lake Michigan.) My cousin, Ashley's, Polish wedding was a blast! I think I'm still in culture shock, though... Ash married into a polish family and is now Mrs. Darek Mucek. The entire wedding was beautiful and I am excited to...

Back from the city once again! Last night Scott and I ventured across the bay bridge and into D.C. for a night of fun and games.Settled in the heart of Washington D.C.'s Chinatown is the humungous Verizon Center, home to the Washington Capitals... Maryland's favorite hockey team (only hockey team).We scored tickets to the game last minute - about 4 hours before actual game time. We rearranged our plans and I worked my butt of yesterday to finish all of my writing so we could go to the game. After the drive with empty stomachs, the Rocket Bar sounded like a good...

1.) This adorable little red jumper dress on esty. Precious. 2.) Dial "P" for Princess! Yes, please. 3.) I'm digging this dark and moody artwork featured in the sleeve of the new Freelance Whales record. Their CD, Weathervanes, is pretty stinkin' rad, too!4.) The Fall/Winter 2011/2012 lacey and girlie dresses in the Bottega Veneta line during Fashion Week! To die for. (Source.)   5.) These two things make me very happy: my fancy shoes & my shag rug in my office. 6.) Cupcakes in a Jar! Saw this on the Food Network. Made by Yummy Cupcakes in CA. Good for on the go,...

I love the feeling I get when I find fantastic things at a thrift store... Easily amused, right? My man always says, "'Yer very thrifty, babes!" He speaks the truth. I'm the kinda gal that only buys thing that were previously used or have big clearance stickers on them! Yesterday was a rather slow Sunday. I didn't have any plans (except for a girls-night-out dinner later in the day that was a blast!) so I decided to head to our local Goodwill. By local, I mean a 40+ minute drive. I'm at this store all time looking for treasures. This is...

I just came home from my office in Berlin and have been waiting to post these pictures all day long! Today, my fabulous coworkers and I walked to the historic Atlantic Hotel to have dinner in the Drummer's Cafe. The Atlantic Hotel is by far one of my favorite places to hang out in the Ocean City area. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this place. It's old, charming, beautiful and decorated perfectly! The Atlantic Hotel was built in 1895 in the village of Berlin, MD. The building has been owned by several families, each...
