Sooo, Summer finally decided to make an appearance in Ohio in July + I couldn’t have been happier! Our beautiful city is just so much more photogenic when it’s not raining 😉 I have so many more things I want to do in warmer weather – I haven’t even scratched the surface with exploring farmer’s markets, cooking out, riding bikes, shopping… the list goes on! I’m looking ahead to August + it’s going to be so fun + busy: Birthday parties, bridal showers, weddings, and a weekend trip to NYC to visit friends! I hope you had a great month! Here’s a few of my snaps lately:

^ Barcelona in German Village has arguably one of the best patios in Columbus. Nic and I had a delicious dinner with our Aunt and Uncle here!

^ We kicked off July with a bang: Nic + I spent the 4th at Norris Lake in Tennessee with great friends for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party!

^ Marcella’s Happy Hour is THE best!!!

^ Made a couple of trips to Haiku for sushi this month! I just can’t get enough of their patio!

^ Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop looks so cool – it’s across the street from Northstar on High Street!

^ Northstar Cafe never disappoints. My go-to meal is the Buddha Bowl + a Shooting Star.

^ Succulents galore at Dill’s Greenhouse.

^ Shopping trip in Canal Winchester – such a fun little town just outside of Columbus! If you go, be sure to eat at Harvest Moon Cafe!

^ My little Rea Rea (aka Reagan LOL) just keeps getting cuter and cuter… now if she could only step up on her potty training game…

^ I found a tomato rainbow in my backyard + couldn’t resist this shot!

^ The Pinnacle in Grove City is so pretty. I’ve been to a few weddings here and they’re always stunning if you’re looking for a spot 😉

^ An awesome meal for Restaurant Week at Cimi’s Bistro with one of my BFF’s!

^ Seriously, this day couldn’t have been any prettier. So happy to see blue skies and no rain.

^ Quick shopping trip to Easton Town Center, my favorite mall in Columbus!

^ Spotted so many pretty flowers on my lunch break!

^ A gorgeous weekend at Snagmaster’s in beautiful Southern Ohio.

^ Gorgeous blooms I picked up at Blossoms at the Bend.

^ So happy to be out in the Short North… on a Tuesday! My dress is Free People (and on sale… you can find more sizes here!).
