This week has flown by! Which isn’t always the case for short work weeks. My social calendar was pretty light this week as I needed to get a few things checked off of my to-do list after work hours since I’m heading back out of town this afternoon. Let’s jump right into a little week in review, shall we?!
Monday
Michael and I spent most of Labor Day in Boston. The weather was absolutely perfect on Monday (after a rainy Sunday) so we were able to wander around the city for a while before heading back to D.C. I’ll have a full recap of our trip up on Tuesday!
Tuesday
On Tuesday I shared my new (other) website with y’all! It’s been in the works for a while so it’s nice to finally have it go live. I’m excited for this venture and have really enjoyed the work that I’ve been able to do through it thus far. If you have no idea what I’m talking about head here to read more!
Wednesday
Wednesday I shared my fall uniform. It’s almost embarrassing how many times I’ve worn an iteration of this outfit over the past few weeks. I may or may not have on something super similar today … I really need to invest in another pair of mule loafers because I get SO much wear out of this pair. They are perfect for work and play. They pair perfectly with black pants and denim. AND they’re super comfortable, which is always a plus. #cityliving #iwalkeverywhere Here are a few pairs that I’m eyeing …
Thursday
Have you heard of Neely & Chloe?! I hadn’t until recently, but I was able to stop by the Tuckernuck store in Georgetown on Thursday night to check out Neely & Chloe’s new fall line of handbags, wallets, and shoes. And now I’m officially obsessed. The bags are gorgeous. They are made with high quality leather and the unique shapes of the bags really make them stand out. Neely, who happens to be Tory Burch’s niece, was there, and she couldn’t be nicer. We actually ended up knowing a few of the same people from my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana! Such a small world.
Weekend Plans
Michael and I are off to Mobile, Alabama this afternoon to celebrate one of our favorite couples getting married this weekend! Remember this post about what to wear to a fall wedding?! I picked out the Parker dress and these amazing Kate Spade earrings to wear this weekend! Stay tuned on Instagram – I’ll be sure to share a pic!
It’s crazy that in last week’s Week In Review post I shared three ways to help the Texas relief efforts after Harvey devastated the area. And now this weekend, all prayers are being sent to the people who were already hit by Irma and everyone in its path.
Other Happenings
If you’re in D.C., check out an upcoming event that you don’t want to miss! The Atlantic is hosting its annual Washington Ideas event September 26 – 28. Among the amazing group of speakers slated for the event are Melanie Whelan, CEO of SoulCycle, celebrity chef and restaurant mogul José Andrés, Martha Raddatz, chief global affairs correspondent at ABC News (one of my favorite news correspondents!), Christina Tosi, Founder and CEO of Milkbar. I’ll be attending, and you should be too! You’ll receive $25 off of the ticket price by using the code COBALT at checkout. You can purchase tickets here.
That dress is going to look great on you!! Have fun!
