Jury Duty + Online Shopping


Some people find it incredibly bizarre that I’m excited for jury duty…but my major in college was criminology and Legally Blonde is my favorite movie – so of course I’m excited! I keep thinking of the Sex and the City episode (2nd time this week mentioning that show, I’m obviously watching re-runs) – where Carrie get’s summoned to serve and the guy next to her pulls out the most interesting fruit every day – like a papaya and a pineapple!! Here’s hoping I get some fun people watching in!! One thing I’m hoping for today is some WiFi because I plan on doing a little online shopping for the SHOPBOP Friends and Family Sale. Use the Code “INTHEFAM” to get 25% off full-price AND sale items!! 


I didn’t take full advantage of their most recent sale and was really kicking myself so here’s everything that I have my eye on this go around! 



Sunglasses//


I have had my eye on a few pairs ofaviator sunglasses– it’s the one style of sunnies that I’ve been most eager to try! TheRay-Ban mirrored ones are #1 on that list and at an extra 25% I am picking the pink ones up! 



Travel//


I love being organized when I travel – who doesn’t right? TheBag-All organizing bagsare just darling and the $13-$24 price point is the best! There is a set for $55, but that comes with five so it’s a great deal! If you’re planning to have a few weekend getaways or longer trips this spring and summer -these are great! 



Accessories//


I have been searching high and low for a weekender bag and I think I finally found THE ONE – the Splendid ones are at a great price point and pattern – hello summer nautical! 


Most days you can find me wearing stud earrings – easier on the ears and don’t pull my lobes down. I lost myTory Burch studson a trip a few years ago and ever since have wanted a new pair! Time to scoop up thelogo studs in Rose Gold





Rebecca Minkoff Avery// Kate Spade Jettie // Kate Spade Tote




I have been wanting a hot pink bag since last summer! I’m torn between a smaller mini like Rebecca Minkoffhas or a tote from Kate Spade




Sale ends on April 7th & don’t forget you get FREE 3 day shipping (TWO if you’re a Amazon Prime Member) and FREE returns! Are you buying anything from the sale? Any fun tidbits if you’ve had jury duty before?

    I was excited about jury duty my first time too! Then the second time… not so much LOL. It wasn't as exciting as I had hoped and the long days just made me want to go back to work! Love all your picks for the sale! Loving that weekender bag. I've been wanting one too! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

    Jury duty can be really fun! I have had to go a few times, but never have actually been picked for the jury. Those aviators are too cute – love the pink color!

    Love all of those bags!! I say if you already have a tote then get the RM one. I have done jury duty twice here and I did not get picked thank goodness. Oh and there wasn't any wifi so it was pretty boring. :-/ Love Legally Blonde too, Elle Woods is like my hero!! 🙂

    When I got summoned for jury duty, I was excited, too, and bummed that I wasn't needed. Political science was my first major in college and then I later switched, but anything law related I'm always intrigued by! Those bag organizers are too cute! I love that there's one that says wash me, to separate the dirty clothes while away. I need to get one because I'm always looking for plastic bags to store mine, haha. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have an amazing day ahead, beauty!

    Love all these finds. I had jury duty for the first time about 6 months ago. We ended up sitting outside the courtroom for hours while every case got settled. I at least wanted to get in the box and have questions asked!

    Very cool!!!! I have been called TWICE but once I was in college and living out of town so I had to defer, and then the second time I was totally excited but they didn't end up calling my group so I didn't get to do anything. Totally checking out the ShopBop sale now …

    I'm always torn between hot pink & that hot aqua blue in the summer. I love bold colors in the spring & summer!

    Have fun at jury duty. I always loved it too – but work made it miserable because they'd dock you & make life horrible if you took off for it – like you can get out of it so easily. UGH! … but I always wanted in on a big case 🙂

    I only had jury duty once and nothing ever even came of it. They released us all after two days. I was praying and praying that I didn't get called for a trial… especially since I'm watching The People vs. OJ. I would have died if I had been on that jury!

    I had Jury Duty last year and I had to go to the Cook County Federal Courthouse which was terrifying because it's in an awful part of Chicago. I was actually excited to experience what Jury Duty was all about, but mine was super uneventful. I went and at noon they said they had no need for jurors so we left. Turns out the day after I went they had this huge homicide case, bummed I missed it, but I don't think I wanted to deal with all that scariness.
