Happy Friday friends. Whew... it's good to be back behind the computer screen this week! Please bear with me as I get used to a different set up (my beloved laptop is still in the shop) and try to fall back into my routine. Although I've been completely missing in action from the blog world this week, I did come across quite a few links worth sharing in my pinterest + twitter feeds and the bookmarked blogs on my phone. While it was nice to unplug for a bit, I have so missed this little corner of the internet!

Here's what I loved this week:

J.Crew on film New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014 & Collection shop Paris Fashion Week's chicest looks with Net-A-Porter The Decoration of Houses via Gadabout the gorgeous Spring issue of the NY Times Style Magazine 10 life lessons from J.Crew's Jenna Lyons & "What's your model name?" via Garance Dore (mine is Else Or... ha!)

Happy whickety-whickety-weekend my lovelies! This week was another doozy ladies and gentlemen (are there gentlemen reading? I'm sorry for all of the shoes...). Mr. Jackson's momma left early on Tuesday morning and I quickly crashed due in part to the worst. cold. ever. Nyquil replaced my main man and little girl as BFF number one but I'm feeling so much better now that the weekend (and Valentine's Day) is finally here. We've got big romantic plans to stay in our PJs, pop open some popcorn and watch a few favorite films just as soon as the mister returns from a long day at the office... perfection (especially since we're snowed in)! Another eventful thing this week: my first official bully happened by this happy little corner of the internet. I let her (I'm pretty sure I know who sent the nasty message... WordPress tracks IP addresses, dontcha know) bother me for a few seconds a good, long while and then realized: this blog is so much fun and I'm so thankful for all of the positive feedback and sweet tweets you send me throughout the week. A great big thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Chelsea & The City part of your daily/weekly routine!

Here's what I've been loving this week:

Happy Friday sweet friends! Let's shake things up, shall we? I've been posting weekly roundups for a looooong time and I don't know about you, but I've been thinking that the old format was getting a little stale. While I love sharing my favorite pins and tumblr images from the week (you can always follow along here & here), I'm ready for something new...

This week was definitely a fun one! We spent some time readjusting to life as a little threesome (after my family's departure over the weekend) and were able to reclaim our space with gusto. The holiday allowed an extra day of lounging and a large slice of chocolate cake for Lo. We FINALLY made a big furniture purchase... no more eating dinner on the living floor ya'll, this girl is getting a dining room table! The chairs (these Eames replicas) arrived yesterday and I've got a busy weekend of assembly ahead. Since college days die hard, Mr. Jackson is making the eight our trek to his Florida Alma Mater to attend some cheesy theme party while Lorelai and I spend a quiet girls weekend at home... TOGA!

Hopefully this weekend will provide a ton of downtime for you to surf the net because the blogosphere was poppin'! Here's what I loved this week:
