Guest Post - Main Street Chic

Hello SSE readers! I’m so excited to fill in for Michelle while she is away. As I’m sure is the case with

most of you, Second Street East is a daily source of inspiration for me and I’m super happy to be a part

of it today!

Over on my blog, Main Street Chic, I do a series called “Inspired to Incorporated.” Essentially, these

posts show the inspiration I find online, and how I incorporate them into my own life. You could call it

copying, but I just call it using my resources

We all know Michelle has fab style, so this “Inspired to Incorporated” post is all about how her outfits

have inspired mine!

This just might be the ultimate weekend outfit. Army jacket + striped dress + sandals = super easy and

super cute!

Nothing jazzes up a boring workday like a little leopard. I got my added pop of color from my necklace/
purse, but I LOVE Michelle’s cobalt heels.

My chambray shirt is pretty much my best friend. I love how Michelle styled it here with a pleated skirt
and skinny belt, so I copied the look for a dinner out with the Hubs.

Thanks so much for having me, Michelle! I had tons of fun copying you! Want to see more? I would
love to have you visit me at Main Street Chic!

Could Emily be ANY more adorable! You must read her blog if you aren't all ready!

Hump Day Happy Hour with Main Street Chic

Happy Hump Day! So glad it is time for a drink :) Today I have my college buddy Emily from Main Street Chic here to share with us her perfect Happy Hour! If you aren't reading her blog already, you should be! She is pretty much adorable!!

Today is a very special day in our household- it's the Hubs' birthday! So in celebration of this very special occasion, tonight at Happy Hour we will be having what I call the "Cody Special." Which is essentially MY favorite drink, not his - but he is reaaally good at making them :)

By the way, we are very scientific at our house - note the measurements!

"The Cody Special"

Vodka - A little less than half the glass

Tonic - Almost to the top (but leave some room!)

Splash of Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice - to make it the perfect pinky-red

Squeeze of lime - to taste

Hopefully tonight we can find a lovely rooftop to enjoy our happy hour a la Zooey and Joey. And these cocktail glasses would make our drink taste even better. And while we are at it, I'll take a fab vintage bar cart to mix the drinks on. And these cocktail napkins. And these Kate Spade heels to wear. OK, I'm done :)

Happy HAPPY Hour, everyone!

Thank you, Emily! Can't wait to try your special drink!!
