Color Me Styled - Lake House Style

Color Me Styled - Lake House Style

This weekend we are going with our friends to a lake house in Northpoint, MI. The 7 of us will be cooking out, visiting local wineries and taking long walks on the beach.

For the weekend away I plan to wear cropped jeans, comfy sweatshirt tops and sperry topsiders. My sister-in-law gave my mother-in-law this beach bag from Loft for Mother's Day and I am going to snag one for myself!

The point of the weekend is to relax and enjoy the company of our friends. And a lot of snacks and wine.

Someone has also made the promise of s'mores.

Color Me Styled - Slip Sliding Away

Slip Sliding Away by ebdaily

Just because Christmas has come and gone doesn't mean all of the winter fun is over! There are plenty of cold weather months ahead. Side note: I've found that it is best just to accept that the cold is here in Chicago instead of wasting valuable energy on complaining.

Chicago has several outdoor ice skating rinks that are open all winter long. A few of them are free and skate rental prices are reasonable. It is a fun activity for a wintery weekend afternoon.

While you might be inclined to wear a snow suit I highly recommend wearing a, wait for it, skater style dress! As you whirl around the rink the skirt will flap in the wind and you'll be twirling like Kristi Yamaguchi in no time. Be sure to pair your dress with leggings, a pea coat, warm socks and mittens. Just in case you need to hold onto the side for a while.

And make sure to smile and make eye contact with the judges as you pass!

Shop this post! Go ahead, get it all and then get out there!

Color Me Styled - Labor Free Labor Day

The un-official end of summer is upon us. Here at Color Me Styled we don't exactly follow the "no white after Labor Day" rule but it is a great excuse to let the bright white shine one more time.

No matter your plans mix white with bright colors and easy accessories. Since the temperature might start to dip, a denim jacket or a scarf are essential pack-along items. 

What are your plans for this holiday weekend? Remember to keep everyone in the path of tropical storm slash hurricane Issac in your thoughts... they could be spending the weekend cleaning up.
