The Weekend . . .

I don’t know about you, but this week felt like Thursday for four full days before Friday would finally arrive. But indeed it finally has, and oh, how excited I am as I am heading down to . . . can you guess based on the inspiration of the umbrellas above? . . . Portland!

Whether it is raining or not there (I do hope so), I am tickled to be going as it has been far too long. With a chance to catch up with a dear friend, a bit of consignment shopping, an exciting meeting of which its details I will be sharing soon on the blog, and a handful of other stops here and there, this weekend is one I’ve been waiting for for quite some time. (Follow me on Instagram or Twitter for the latest updates and images of my trip.)

And in case your week has been a bit hectic, busy or exhausting, here is a look back on what has been going on here on The Simply Luxurious Life this past week . . .

~This & That: No. 46 . . . a documentary not to be missed, Rachel Zoe’s new beauty business venture and more . . .

~Want & Have Outfit: No. 22 . . . inspired by London Fashion Week street styles

~Style Inspiration: Leopard, Black & Gray

~Why Not . . . Live in a Smaller Home? . . . the readers’ favorite post of the week

I do hope you enjoy this last weekend of February. So much as already happened in the two short months of 2013, but so much awaits to be enjoyed. Until Monday, bonjour.
