Friday.

Oh, its so good to see you Friday. What a week it's been. I'm sure you also noticed that the little blog got a facelift! There are still a few things left to be done, but I'm loving the clean and simple look. I couldn't be any more excited for a long weekend! Tomorrow, we will be heading out to tailgate and go to the first NC State game of the season. A couple of our sweet friends will be joining us in our seats as well as Austin's family. I absolutely love football season and is something that is taken quite seriously in the south ;-) The rest of the weekend is unplanned - just the way I like it! :)

C. Wonder Wish List

C. Wonder's wish list option is dangerous. I pretty much want friggin' everything right now. Here are my top favs.
These highball glasses would be the perfect addition to our bar cart.

These animal dessert plates are just too cute.
I think I need this navy throw for Fall/Winter. I love the pom pom detailing.

Greek Key Handle Tray and Stand
Wouldn't this make an adorable nightstand?

Need. It. All. Not to mention their fall clothing collection is beyond being on point.

Have a great day!

Weekend Recap

I'm so sad this past weekend is over! My sweet friend from DC came to visit for a full fledged girls weekend complete with too much wine, lots of shopping and girl talk. We hadn't had girls time together since I left the city, so it was much overdue!





Our Saturday shopping trip was quite successful. You know you're a dog lover when a majority of your purchases relay back to your pooch. I just couldn't pass up these precious notes. I have an addiction to paper. I think I need these too.  
Living in DC, you sure do miss Eastern NC BBQ, I of course assisted Christina in getting her fix.

Unrelated to this past weekend, I made this recipe last week that was too good not to share. I made the recipe with Mahi filets, and they were some kind of good. It takes a bit longer to cook than a flakier fish, but definitely worth the wait!


Waking up to crisp fall-like weather this morning made me extra excited for the first football game of the season this weekend! 

Have a great Monday!

What I Loved This Week : Budget Friendly Buys Under $50

I am so relieved that it is Friday. Despite the rainy forecast, I cannot wait to head home to the coast to spend some quality girl time with my sweet mom. It was a fun week, though. The husband and I spent Monday evening at The Killers Concert, which was a blast. My favorite part was when they shot out hot pink confetti all over the crowd at the end of their set. I highly recommend seeing them in concert! 

My shopping this week was a touch out of control spent preparing for Fall. I love finding a good deal and mixing budget-friendly finds with classic splurge worthy staples. Some of my favorite purchases were:
The price for this clutch was undeniable and I absolutely am a sucker for free shipping. I think it'll match everything!

These leggings are SERIOUSLY the best. Do not walk, RUN to get these as they sold out super fast last Fall/Winter. I went through 3 pairs last year because I seriously LIVED in them, I love the thick material.

 I have a feeling I will live in this sweater. I came across it on Pinterest and it screamed lazy Fall day. Plus, you get an extra 15% off your first purchase with code SHE15!

So, of course since I got such great deals, I finally decided to splurge on a candle for our bedside. 
I cannot wait to receive this candle. I ordered from Blue Mercury, I have sang their praises before and I'll do it again. This DC based company I fell in love with during my time in DC. Their shipping is free, you get awesome free samples as well as fast shipping and cute packaging.

Plus, I somewhat justified the pricey candle with the idea of the adorable ways to reuse the jar once the candle is gone.




Enjoy your weekend!

TGIF

Champagne coupes via Hip Hip Gin Gin

I thought this day would never come...what a week. This weekend will be relatively low key before we start ramping back up again for lots of Fall travel. We are celebrating my sister in law's birthday tonight with dinner at 18 Seaboard. And then having everyone over for Champagne (duh) and cake after dinner. I personally cannot wait to lounge in PJ's until noon and catch up on some Netflix this weekend. We are heading to The Killers concert on Monday evening, which I am so excited for date night with the husband to break up the Monday Blues!

Happy Weekend!

Glamorous Kitchens

I am all about a white kitchen. I think it exudes a crisp clean lifestyle, which I love. However, I have become increasingly obsessed with black kitchens that still incorporate bright crisp touches. Can't get enough.







I mean.



Happy Almost Friday!

Fall Wish List

Personally, once August begins, I naturally begin planning for Fall. I am pretty sure it will always be my favorite season. This fall is already proving to be just as jam packed as our summer with friends visiting from out of state, planning our trip to DC next month (CANNOT EVEN WAIT) and planning our trip to San Diego in the Spring! Not to mention Football season starts in 3 short weeks! ShopBop is killing it with their Fall goodies so far and these items are going to have to be a part of my closet!

These flats are awesome for many reasons. Don't get me wrong my Tory flats are fantastic, but they can get somewhat uncomfortable after a long day. These flats, with the elastic trim look to be a far more comfortable staple.
Matte Gold Arrow Necklace
This dainty gold necklace is great because I love layering with other gold necklaces I own.
This candle is so good. so so good. For so many reasons. And at a great price on Amazon compared to the usual $60.

What are you loving for upcoming Fall?

This Week

This week flew by. I didn't expect it to because I knew it would be a tough adjustment easing into the work week after a busy previous weekend. Can I just mention how excited I am to be spending a low key weekend with friends in our little home? Probably too excited.
Courtney Benham Sauvignon Blanc
I picked this wine up and its instantly become a summer favorite. It is crisp, light, refreshing and easy on the wallet too!
 I thought I struck gold at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale when this candle trio was only $30! Sadly, the collection I got above is now sold out online, but they do have a different set that is still a part of the sale! You won't regret it.


I first received this as a sample from an order I placed and instantly became hooked. It is the perfect light primer for the summer and is definitely becoming a staple.


Okay, lets please look past the fact that yes this is drop dead gorg Brooklyn Decker, and a bucket on her head would look good. I have been seriously contemplating making the hack on my hair during my appointment next week. I love the caramel low lights in this for fall, but get so nervous about cutting 5+ inches...hopefully I will have some sort of revelation in the next few days, because that cut is seriously cute.

Have a great weekend ya'll!
