and here's why...

I totally accept that as I grow and evolve, my sense of style is bound to change. In a few short years I've fallen for preppy looks and edgy styles alike and I'm finally starting to find my sartorial comfort zone of neutral colors, basic pieces and timeless cuts. Through it all I can count on my good friend (and my wallet's worst enemy... ha!) J.Crew to have what I'm looking for. Whether it be something trendy (I know you guys hate the birks but I'm hooked... I picked them up in white during our DC vacation) or the perfect white shirt, Jenna & Co. have got me covered. With a new bathing suit in tow (I finally bit the bullet and snagged this one on sale) and boyfriend jeans at the top of my list, I'm ready to take on the warmer months ahead.

What's more fun than supporting family AND wearing beautiful jewelry? Nothin'! When I ordered this "give thanks" necklace from Tynel's etsy shop, Little Lambs Eat Ivy, I had no idea how quickly it would become one of my absolute favorite pieces. By now you're probably aware of my love of all things gold and my penchant for "Carrie" moments. Few things can top the opportunity to add a little nameplate action to my jewelry collection and I'm just smitten with the sweet twist on an accessories staple.

In honor of being thankful (and on vacation... woohoo!), here's a little list of everything I'm thankful for right now:

- finding new friends with big hearts and a ton of talent - the luxury to spend a little downtime just Lo and me - a wonderful relationship with the most thoughtful man (I'm lookin' at you Mr. Jackson) - vacation! and the opportunity to finally meet some of my blogger friends in person - warm Spring days, endless sunshine and the perfect shady hat - a few extra hours to get things done - motivation to make some big changes and tackle a few fun projects - brunch & mimosas (duh) - sister time with my best friend and soon-to-be 19 year old baby sister - slowly working through my 101 in 1001 project

and because we're thankful for you too, Little Lambs Eat Ivy is offering Chelsea & The City readers 30% off this fun necklace! What are you thankful for?
