Fashion Friday--Recent Purchases

It's official. I suck at taking pictures of what I actually wear. Maybe it's time that I really go all in and learn how to use my awesome mom camera. That way, I could take pictures of myself instead of asking Barry. I'll work on that in the coming weeks. 

Anyhoo... Instead, I will share with you a couple of my recent purchases that I love! 

Yoanna Baraschi Lace Medallion Tank
Anthropologie

This is no longer available online, but I just purchased this week for $50 from the store's sale rack. I've already worn it, and it is adorable on!

Vince Camuto Sheath Dress in Blue Iris
Nordstrom

I'm wearing this with my Isola Damanis and a fab neon yellow/pink/gold necklace to a wedding on Sunday. This dress is the perfect color, the perfect fit, and made out of amazing fabric. The price tag was pretty fantastic, too, for as much wear as I'll get out of it.

Great basic, great price, great quality. I don't care what anyone says, I love the Gap. I have read a lot online where people have said it is unstylish, etc., but I always find great basics there, and they always have sales online.

Things I'm Loving Thursday

We're on the heels of a pretty busy weekend! We're having friends over to grill out tomorrow, possibly having a date night Saturday, and Branner and I are heading to Asheboro early Sunday morning so that I can attend the wedding of a childhood/family friend on Sunday night. Whew, I'm already tired! Here's what I'm loving this week...

...these hair ties. They are the best! I bought a pack at Scout & Molly's about a month ago, and I have really loved them! I need to go stock up on some more and get some of their headbands. Highly recommend these if you workout or wear your hair back a lot! 



...this blog, written by my friend and fellow Modern Parent columnist, Ashley Taylor. Y'all know you've come into contact with moms like this! 



...this idea for parties! When (if) we (ever) move, I plan to entertain often, and I'm hoping that my friend, Alice, will start making them so I can buy some!



...this recipe. SO GOOD!

Hope all of you have a fabulous weekend!

The Perfect Weekend

Wow, we had an amazing weekend! I was just sitting down for the night, settling into all of my delicious Sunday night reality TV shows, and thought about what a great time we had! Our perfect weekend looks like this:

  • A low-key Friday night with a simple meal and an early bedtime.
  • A boat ride and lunch on the lake Saturday morning/afternoon.
  • Date night on Saturday night.
  • Sleeping in this morning (thanks, Branner)!!
  • A movie date for me this afternoon with Ashley. We saw Mirror, Mirror. Loved it!
  • Dinner with the Thompsons on the patio tonight.





Hope all of you had a great weekend, too!


Dinner with Drew!

Last night, the Thompsons joined us for dinner. Branner and Drew are so adorable together. It warms my heart to think that they will grow up together just like Lauren and I did! We were basically friends from birth!





Seriously, how cute are they? I can't stand it!

Airplane

Branner's latest drawing. He says it's a plane. I can totally see that!
