Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of

This past weekend my friend and co-worker Erin and I went to NYC. I hadn't been in a while and let me tell you it was long over due. We had so much fun, ate lots of awesome food, and did a lot of walking and shopping. Sweet Erin was a real trooper considering I dragged her on 2 modes of transportation she hates an airplane and the subway. We were blessed with perfect fall weather and it was an awesome time. Here it is in pictures along with some outfit catch up as well ;).

Out with the Old...

So last week was a pretty busy one around the Sulkirk House. My sweet, wonderful parents were in town and that meant lots of home improvement projects were in the works.
The front of my house got some new landscaping...which included finally getting ready of some overgrown bushes.

This is the house before...

And this is in progress...

I don't have an after picture as I am waiting to grow some grass....but here is a glimpse at some of the pretty plants we put in...

The other major project was a new floor and hot water heater in the laundry room....

Goodbye nasty linoleum...

Hello pretty tile!!!



And finally here is a picture of my handy man pops....working on the oldest, most frustrating dish washer of all time...

He's a good poppa!

This week has been crazy so please forgive my lack of posting. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen a few of my outfits for the week, but getting on the old Blog and posting has been a challenge....My parents have been in town and have been doing some work at the house....I'll share more on that later.

For now here are days 4-9...

I am finding out a few things....
1. I have way to many Striped Tops
2. I shop at J. Crew too much- (Seriously, the sales assistant called me by name the other day....not good people, not good)
3. Weekends are really hard...Saturday I spent most the day looking pretty busted beacuse I was running around Pet sitting and doing something at the house, so the fact I was able to even throw on jeans and a shirt is a miracle.

Anyway....Day 10 and I am a third of the way there...Polka Dots today...will post a picture tomorrow.

Happy Monday!
