Scenes From Our Weekend

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  It is hard to believe Summer is coming to a close.  We have had a really good one though.

Friday the kids and I headed back from Charlotte bright and early.  I had a lunch date with my sister in law.  I wore this chambray dress perfect for traveling.  I love the silhouette.   I am wearing a size small, it runs slightly on the large side.

We had lunch at Bambu and after lunch I stopped in Bottles.  I have never been in there before and wow, what a great selection of wine.  I picked up a few new ones to try.

Friday night we had to take Frances to urgent care, I thought she broke her wrist.  Luckily after a few X-rays they told us nothing was broken.  We got home in time to catch a gorgeous sunset.

Our neighbors brought over the most delicious homemade egg rolls.  They had chicken, black beans, corn, onion, and spinach and were so tasty.

One of my favorite dresses from this Summer is back out in a new stripe color for Fall.  I found it when I bought my chambray dress in Charlotte.  Sizes sold out pretty quickly last time and a few are already sold out.  I am wearing a size 6 for reference.  I am usually a 4 in dresses but the 4 was a little snug at my hips.

Fringe Dress

Saturday morning the boys went fishing so I got to have some one on one time with Frances Moon.  We went to get doughnuts and to the Farmer's Market.  I didn't order a doughnut because I was trying to be good and I asked Frances for a bite of hers and this was the face I got- haha don't mess with her food!

That afternoon we went boating with a few friends over to Morris Island.  I always love bringing fun snack on the boat.  I made pimento cheese sandwiches and Antipasto Roll-ups.  I will share that recipe Wednesday!

We had such a blast on the water. 

We even managed to get a few family photos of everyone together.

No one wanted to look at the camera.

Matt + I.  My bathing suit is now on sale.  It has the prettiest low back.  It runs TTS, I am wearing a medium.

SwimSuit

Sunday we went to church and back to school shopping and then the pool!  My swimsuit and hat are on sale and I love the new pink/blush color of Tkees.

For dinner we made veggie plates.  I love this easy Summer Salad and it is only 4 ingredients.

Cherry Tomatoes + Fresh mozzarella balls + basil + pesto.   Also add a little salt and pepper:)

This wine was a favorite from Bottles.  Super light and refreshing. 

Have a great start to your week.  Sterling is doing tennis camp this week, it is his favorite camp.  This is our 3rd year doing it.   Looking forward to getting organized this week before school starts back! 

Weekend Sales | Last Day to Shop Nordstrom Anniversary Sale + Serena and Lily Tent Sale

Happy Sunday! Today is the last day to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so if there is anything you were debating about now is the time to buy it!

Below are a few favorites I bought during the sale.  

This Sweater I shared Friday is my newest find I bought while I was in Charlotte.  Runs large, so size down.  I am wearing an XS.

Leopard Sweater + Sandals 70% off

Equipment Sweater

I ordered this in the camel color and just love it.  I ordered an XS and it def runs on the large side.  I like that it is longer so I can wear it with leggings.  If you want a less expensive option, this ONE is similar. 

Zella High Waist Leggings

I am a huge fan of the high waist Zella leggings.  I ordered these in the green color.  They run TTS.  I usually do a small in Zella leggings.

Zella Hoodie

I ordered this in the black and I love it so much I am tempted to buy the purple.  I love these types of pullovers in the fall to toss on over my workout clothes.  Runs TTS, I bought a size small.

Rag and Bone Booties

I ordered these in the lighter color.  They run on the small side so size up 1/2 a size.  I really like the zipper detail on the sides.

Free People Oversized Sweater

This is so incredibly soft and I love the open back detail (I would wear a tank underneath and not have an exposed back).  Runs on the large side so size down.  I ordered and XS and it fits perfectly.

Joie Lace Blouse

My mom has this blouse in the white version and I always think it looks so pretty on her.  I bought the black and figured we can trade:)  We both have size XS.

Kate Spade Gold Studs

I have these in the clear version and wear them often. I figured the gold would go with lots of outfits.

Lush Blouse

For the price you can't beat this blouse- only $27.  I ordered the green and it is such a great color for Fall.  I will be sharing this in an outfit post next week.  It comes in several other colors too.

Tee Shirt

I shared this Wednesday, but I love this simple tee for only $15.  I am wearing a size small. 

Hat 

Under $20 and perfect for bad hair days!

Bell Sleeve Blouse

I ordered this in the blush color.  For the price, $44 it is a great blouse.  It has a looser fit which I like and I also like the bell sleeve detail.  I am tempted to order the yellow too.  I ordered a size small. 

Rag and Bone Slit Back Tank + JBrand Jeans

I actually bought the jeans last year but they are back again.  I am wearing a small in the tank.  The tank is made out of a soft slub knit material and it is such a great casual shirt.  Jeans run TTS.

Illesetva Sunglasses

I ordered these in the pink, I love my other pair so much. 

Bobbi Brown lip Set

This arrived yesterday and I love it.  The color is actually more of a neutral pink not quite as bright as I expected but I honestly like that better.  I used the crayon and layered it with the lip gloss last night.  It is such a pretty shade of pink.  

Nike Shoes

This is the time when I buy my new workout shoes once a year.  I love the fit and style of this new pair.  Order up a 1/2 size as they run small.  I use mine for walking and light jogging.

Natori Underwire Bra

I loved this so much I bought the black and nude.

A few other fabulous finds.

SERENA AND LILY

The Tent sale is happening right now.  Lots of great deals, 40-75% off.   Scroll through to see my favorites.

Have a wonderful Sunday! 

Back to School Kicks

Each year before school starts I like to treat the kids to some new shoes and clothes for the school year.  Both Sterling and Frances Moon are very opinionated about these things so I always let them choose what they like.  When Rack Room reached out about working together they were so excited because we love shoe shopping at Rack Room.  They have so many great options for the kids.

Frances | Lily Shift + Pink Converse

Sterling | The Man Tee + Stripe Shorts + Nikes

Rack Room is our go to for kid's shoes.  They have such a great selection.  They carry some of our favorite brands like Nike, Converse, and Vans and they frequently run great promotions.

I am always a fan of Converse and these pink ones are so stinking cute. I love them paired with dresses.  Converse runs on the large side so I usually size down.

Sterling loves Nikes, because that is all I wear:)  We both loved this bright blue color.  They don't actually lace up and just velcro at the top so they are super easy for him to put on by himself.

These two are such hams together.

I can't believe I am going to have a first grader and Frances Moon is almost 3!  Time flies.

Thanks to Rack Room for partnering on this post!

Thoughts For Friday

TGIF!!  We have been in Charlotte for the week visiting my family but we are excited to get back for a fun weekend.  

We decided to come to Charlotte and do a little back to school shopping for the kids.  When I was growing up my mom and grandmother always took us and I loved it.  So I love being able to recreate that tradition with my kids.  

Who else watched the Bachelorette Finale?  I did and I had a feeling she would choose Jordan, I am betting they don't last long.   I am also pumped The Bachelor Pad started back up- it's so horrible it'S good.   Chad has already provided some good entertainment. Wine + The Bachelorette is my idea of a good evening.

I am tottaly obsessed with Instagram stories.  I could never quite figure out snap chat and this seems so much user friendly to me.  I like that is also all in one app so I don't have to switch back and forth.

We made one of my favorite Kale Salads for dinner while I was home- you can find the recipe HERE.  It is really good and it holds up well in the fridge it doesn't get soggy!

I am currently scheming ideas for Frances Moon's big girl room and this is one I have saved for  for inspiration.

I don't normally have much luck for me in the Lily store (I love it for Frances Moon)  but I fell in love with this yellow embroidered dress.   It runs TTS, I am wearing a size small.

Embroidered Dress

I wore it out for a girl's night with my mom and sister.

My sister is wearing my Off Shoulder Dress + Tassel Earrings

I am wearing Dress + Sandals

We tried out Cork Buzz a new wine bar in the South Park area.  We all really enjoyed it.  We sat outside and had wine flights and appetizers.

My Sunglasses are still on sale til Sunday and they restocked all the colors including the pink!

We loved the goat cheese dumplings, shisto peppers, and bacon spring rolls.  We also had the corn dip and cauliflower and loved them too.

I was excited to actually be able to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary sale in person while I was in Charlotte and I picked up a few things.  

I had eyed this sweater online since the sale started and once I tried it on, I knew I needed it.  

It is so soft and will be perfect for Fall.  Size down it runs on the large side, I am wearing an XS.  I think it will be great paired with skinny jeans or even leggings and and a long tee or tunic.

Leopard Sweater + Sandals 70% off

Also loved this adorable dress and it's only $24 right now!  

It comes in 5 color options.  Since it was Juniors I sized up to a medium.

Cowl Neck Dress

I bought these Pj's  for Sterling and they are so so soft!  On sale and only a few sizes left. 

Sailboat PJ's- also in Outer Space Pattern.

While I was home my mom found these dresses my grandmother brought us back from Hawaii probably 30 years ago at least.  Mine actually fit Frances and I was dying over how cute she was in it!!

If you hate to iron like I do you must get this hand held steamer.  I have been using mine non-stop.  It heats up quickly and really works to get all the wrinkles out of my dresses and blouses.  It is small so it is easy to pack.  Matt likes to use it on his work shirts too.  It is on major sale right now.

Steamer

The Nordstrom Sale ends in 3 days.  Scroll through see my favorites and many items I purchased!

Have a great weekend!
