Thoughts For Friday


Happy happy Friday!  This weekend we have plans to hit up the Farmers Market and a date night with a few other couples.

I am always on the lookout for cute tee shirts for during the day.  I like to pair them with jeans or shorts with fun jewelry for a cute casual look.  This tee is a new favorite.  I love the fit of it, it is not too tight or too big and it has a slightly longer back.  I am wearing the almond color which is such a great neutral.  It runs pretty TTS, I am wearing a size small.

I am addicted this new flavor of Lacroix- Blackberry + Cucumber.  It is so refreshing.

Flower shopping with my girl.

Now that the weather is warmer it has me craving Tomato pie one of my all time favorite Southern Recipes.  We had it for dinner this week paired with Banshee Chardonnay.  I love all Banshee wines.
You can find the Tomato Pie recipe under my recipes tab:)


I just got  my girl Gwennie's new cookbook and I am so excited to try some of the recipes.  There were so many that looked amazing.


A recent outfit this week.
I love the pattern and colors of this blouse.   I have been wearing the wedges non-stop.  My parents gave me them for my birthday and they rock.  The heel isn't too high and they are so comfortable!

We got Sterling's school pictures back this week and I could not stop laughing.  I forgot it was picture day and he went to school in workout leggings, a tee shirt that says "taco bout awesome", and a fake hand tattoo.  That outfit paired with the cheese fake background is just too good.  You better believe I ordered several copies!  and side note why do schools insist on these cheesy backgrounds??
I don't shop in Ann Taylor often but when I saw this Pineapple blouse through the window I knew I needed it.  I love the blush color paired with the pineapples.
I am always looking for cute hair bows to keep Frances Moon's hair out of her face.  I prefer the smaller simple ones and these are some of our new favorites.  They actually really stay in place too. You can shop the Etsy site here called Camiandco.

This is style we prefer, but there are lots of other cute styles and some really sweet baby headbands that would make a great gift.

The strawberries from our Farmers Market have been so good lately.  Perfectly juicy and sweet.  I have been looking for new ways to use them and can't wait to try this recipe for crostini with goat cheese, mint, strawberries and balsamic vinegar.

I also think this Strawberry Moscow Mule sounds amazing- so refreshing!


Lastly three of my dresses that I wear often were just reduced.  
The white dress I wore last weekend is newly reduced- I am wearing a small.


Wearing size small.

Have a great weekend!

10 Spring Essentials for the Men

Today I wanted to share a few Spring picks for the men.   These would make perfect gifts for Father's Day which is right around the corner and any upcoming Birthdays.   I love all the fresh bright blues and greens for the men this Spring.   
Many of these finds are under $100 so they won't break the bank.
Read on to see my top 10 Spring Essentials for the Men!  

men spring fashion



I prefer the fit of Lacoste polos, they are not quite as boxy as other polos.  I really love this bright blue color.

I am kind of obsessed with driving loafers for men.  I especially love them paired with shorts.  These come in brown, red and navy.  All perfect colors for Spring! 
I really like this style as well and they come in about 7 color options.
They are under $100


I love these because they are sleek and have the same look and fit as jeans but are chinos.  Matt is frequently looking for business casual pants that can double for work and the weekends and these are perfect.  They come in 12 colors.  I love this light gray color and the saffron blue.




I love this Ray Ban style for the men.  I feel like it is super flattering on every face size.
also in this cool green color

I love these light weight sweaters for the men.  They are perfect for the in between Spring weather we have been having and they are under $100
I also really like the solid navy.  Would be great for work too paired over a plaid button-up.

I really like the nautical theme on these swim trunks.  They are good length because I feel like sometimes swim suits can be too short or crazy long.

Matt loves the non-iron shirts for work.  I am loving this fresh blue/white stripe for Spring.

These are a favorite of my dad, brother and Matt.  They come in a bunch of different colors.  They wash and wear well.


I love a man in a pull over.  I don't know what it is but I really like this causal look.    This Vineyard Vines version is under $100.

Another version also in 4 color options.

These are great alone to toss on with jeans or shorts or you could even use the white ones as undershirts.  They come in a pack of 2 for only $22.
If your man prefers crewneck I like this style with the pocket and embroidered fish on the pocket.
This plain crewneck style is only $10

I shared this outfit a few weeks ago but wanted to show it again. The shirt and sweater Matt is wearing are ones he wears frequently.  They are both light weight and look great alone or paired together.  He paired them with jeans but they also look great with chinos. 




I always think Nordstrom has the best selection for men and I love how easy their returns are.  Don't forget they price match too!





Thanks to Nordstrom for partnering on this post!
