Thoughts For Friday

Happy Friday! I am so excited for this weekend. We have so many fun parties to attend which is very welcome after two low key weekends. I am ready to get dressed up and get my party on!


I went out to dinner Monday night with two of my favorite ladies Chassity and Caycee to celebrate Chassity's birthday. We dined at The Macintosh and it was amazing. Loved everything we ate. If you dine there I highly recommend the truffled fries and Lavender Martini- out of this world! Here is my Outfit (Dress is Generra from Hampden Clothing a few years ago)

How cute does Kristen Cavelleri look preggo in her one-piece. I mean I seriously want that bathing suit pregnant or not it is so chic. Anyone know who makes this swimsuit?



I am thinking about picking up these rubber Tory Burch flipflops. Anyone own a pair? I am looking for a casual pair of flipflops to wear with shorts and dresses this summer. I am digging the black and tan. They seem like the perfect summer sandal for a fraction of the cost of her other shoes.





I rue the day Matt ever brought home this new Fruity Pebbles cereal. You see I have a weakness for cereal. I can't buy the sweet kind because I will eat a whole box in a day. The Marshmallow Pebbles is ridiculously good, you should buy some. But be warned, its like crack I can't stop eating it.




I was browsing through Oprah's magazine (which surprisingly was a pretty good read) while I got my nails done last week and came across a new juice recipe from Dr. Oz. He said it was his go-to detox juice recipe. I made it this week and really liked it. For those of you with juicers you should totally try this recipe out.




I am not a huge St. Patrick's Day partier. Although I will say I went through a stage in college where I loved Guinness and it was all I wanted to drink (so random, right?? But I found since it was less carbonated I could drink more without feeling so full. Priorities in college. Plus it does have less calories than most beers.) Now I never really drink beer but I am thinking I want to make these festive "Pot of Gold" cocktails featured on the Glitter Guide yesterday. They have fresh pear juice and champagne in them and sound divine.




My birthday is a week from Saturday and I am actually excited about it this year. My family gets in town Thursday and I am hoping to hit up the Rooftop Bar or somewhere with fabulous outdoor seating since the weather has been so nice. For my local readers what are your favorite outdoor spots to enjoy drinks in Charleston?
If money were no object this is what I would like to wear for my Birthday night out.
Tibi Draped Shift Dress



and I would pair it with these DVF Sinead Twist Sandals



Here's to hoping the weather this weekend is as amazing as it has been all week. We have been loving our park playdates! Gotta love that my little man insists on wearing his rainboots with every outfit!



Have a fabulous weekend!

Don't feel guilty about the cereal - it even says "Vitamin D" on the front!! Hahaha! Love Monday night's dress!

I've never worn the Tory Burch flip flops, but some equally cute & super comfy ones are the Havianas! They sell them at Nordstroms & I have a few pairs. Love them!

Julia Ryan said...

I'm thinking about picking up those flops for summer. They seem like the perfect pair for the pool. I'm sad I missed y'alls little girls night out. Seriously, need a Charleston fix asap!

My mom just sent me those Tory flip flops in the mail and I love them!! You have to get - they are a little more "dainty and understated" then the usual patterned ones she has sold the last few summers, but I'm really diggin them so far.

The Tory flip flops got me through my pregnancy a couple of summers ago when my feet swelled and I couldn't squeeze them in anything else. Comfortable and durable. A must-have.

haha hilarious that you were a guiness girl in college! I couldn't believe it when I found out it was less calories and more alcohol - for some reason it looks so heavy and tastes heavy to me but it's not?! love the TB rubber flip flops as well :) and I don't let myself buy cereal at all for the exact same reason!! happy weekend :)

You looked great! my friend has Tory Burch rubber flats and she absolutely loves them. I have been thinking of getting a pair for me too.

Jill said...

I think you should treat yourself to that Tibi dress for your b-day!!

I love my TB flip flop, I think I have about 4 pairs. I actually like the flats better than the wedges.

Sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead of you, enjoy!!
