Summer trips are being planned, plane tickets booked, and I’m Napa-bound this Friday. Traveling is certainly on the brain. Music is the next best thing to the perfect travel companion and I never leave for the airport without a mix made specifically for the trip. Here’s my west coast flight mix. Enjoy!

Friends, it was slow going this Monday. The weekend was a mix of work and play, gorgeous weather, birthdays to celebrate, and benefits to attend. It may have taken multiple cups of coffee to feel like a functioning human being, but it was well worth it. Considering the amount of time spent behind the computer lately, it’s amazing I still have somewhat acceptable social graces.
A few highlights:

I don’t know how you do it. Season after season, you create looks that speak to both the girly-girl and tomboy inside of me. Thanks for giving me the courage (and vaildation) to let both of those girls hang out together. When you mixed beanie hats with frilly dresses, my heart nearly exploded! I’m totally with you on this one.
Sincerely,
The girl who wears beanies even when it’s well above 50 degrees

One of my favorite retailers ASOS.com asked me to participate in a little style feature to kick-start summer. A few bloggers and myself picked out a dress and styled it in our own way. Check out all the looks here. You can also shop what we’re wearing, too!
This is a little different for Wit & Delight and I had fun wearing styling the dress. Now go get your shop on!
Oh denim, how I love thee. A true staple in my wardrobe, I can always count on my favorite pair of jeans. Alas, my very favorite pair, which I got deeply discounted from Gap, have seen better days. Thankfully I stumbled upon London-based MiH Jeans a few weeks ago. Let me tell you- they know how to do denim.

I hope you had a fun weekend. I spent most of my mine unplugged but hardly had a chance to relax with all the social events planned. Really feeling it today! I’ll be back this week with regular posts, but for the moment, check out the “Rainy Day Style” round up I pulled together for Minnesota Monthly’s Twin Cities Style blog. We’ve been enjoying some great storms lately and are scheduled to get some more this week! Gotta love spring in the Midwest.
Who wants to talk skincare?? I DO! I’ll admit to being a bit of a skincare junkie, so when I went in for a truly amazing Juut facial with Christen Hackett a few weeks ago, I had a ton of questions. She was kind enough to talk me through what I should be doing to keep my skin it’s healthiest.
The goal of the facial was to get a read on what was going on with my skin. I also wanted to increase radiance and keep my skin looking fresh and dewy. Here’s the plan that Christen put together for me:

This pizza is the result of going to the grocery store while famished. Stopping in after going for a run, I had an agenda- to make a lot of pizza. This is where my stomach starts calling the shots.

This week I’m sharing two ways to wear my favorite trend: The Maxi Skirt. Pair it with a leather jacket for an edgier look, or a lady-like blouse for a polished look. Read the full post
This has to be the coolest tumblr blog EVER. Tydepool collects the best Amazon & Etsy has to offer and displays them in a gorgeous layout. My Amazon cart is loaded with affordable designer-y things thanks to them! Filter by retailer for a seamlessly beautiful way to shop.
I’m over at Twin Cities Style talking about tips for mixing and matching the rings you’ve got in your jewelry box this week! Check it out!

When I went in for a spa day at Juut Salonspa, my stylist Jen Hughes was kind enough to show me how to do a fishtail braid, with an updo option! Read the full post
Just think of the adorable UK-based shop Mungo & Maud as Pottery Barn for your pet! They care premium goods for cats, dogs and the people who care for them. So cute!
Opening Ceremony’s Fall 2012 Lookbook is flirting with my girly sensibilities. Model Hyoni Kang looks just the right amount of cute in these landscape-inspired prints and textures.
So crazy for this glam hardware from the multidisciplinary firm Winsome Bravery. I’d love a box of these to hang necklaces from.

Happy Friday, all. I’m excited to share a few rings from my guest post over on the Etsy Blog today. It was so much fun to pull together a round up of gorgeous engagement rings. There is so much variety here and a ring for every kind of budget. I’m curious- have any of you purchased a vintage or custom designed ring from Etsy?
Came across this at just the right moment today. Thanks to Apt #34!
