Thoughts For Monday

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  

I have a new favorite drink at Starbucks- the green tea latte with coconut milk.  It is so good! 

Dress (on sale) | Sandals | Purse

Saturday afternoon Caycee and I headed to Park Circle for lunch and the annual St Patty's party.  

Outfit Details:

Blouse (on sale)  also HERE | Jeans | Booties

We ate at EVO and it was delicious. The Bibb salad with bacon was amazing as was the Mushroom and Havarti pizza.

How gorgeous is Caycee's house??  I love this nook in her kitchen.

I just started watching Gossip Girl again.  I forgot how good that show was and I still love all the fashion. 

I just ordered this Kate Spade Dress.  I love the stripes and tassel details.

Tee Shirt Dress

I stopped in Loft this week and found the cutest floral blouse.  I love it paired with jean shorts but also jeans.  Both the blouse and shorts are under $60.

I recently got this cookbook and I am loving it.  Lots of great recipes and gorgeous pictures.

Loving this table scape at Open Door Shop.  That table runner is paper- how cool is that?  I bought a roll of it, perfect for entertaining.

Lunch at Leon's.  One of my favorite Charleston spots.

Have a great start to your week.

Stripe Tee | 2 Ways

TGIF!  Today I wanted to share a classic stripe tee styled two different ways.  One casual and one a little dressier.

This look is something I would wear on a daily basis, especially in the Summer.  I love a good tee + jean shorts outfit.  

Stripe Tee | Jean Shorts | Tote | Sunglasses | Earrings | Ring | Sandals | Watch 

I love a good wedge sandal.  These are so comfortable and I like that the heel is not crazy high.  They run TTS.  I am wearing my normal size.  I am wearing the dessert leather color.  They also come in black and bronze as well.

I am wearing a size small in the tee.  It runs TTS.  It is incredibly light weight and super soft. 

I always love the fit of Rag and Bone tees.

If you need black jeans these are the BEST.  They suck you in and have the perfect amount of stretch.  They also sit higher up on your waist which I love.  You will not find a more flattering pair of black jeans.  The jeans, booties, and statement earrings make for a little dressier look paired with the tee.

Stripe Tee | Jeans | Sunglasses | Booties | Earrings | Similar Purse

I rave about them all the time, but my Newbury Boots are my favorite booties.  My stripe version is an older version but the style is exactly the same.

I have these earrings in several colors.  You can't beat the price and they are super light weight.  I can wear them all day and they don't bother my ears at all.

Arm candy-  This is my go to combo.

Ring | White Bracelet | Gold Bracelet

Both looks can be found at Nordstrom.  Nordstrom always offer free shipping and returns.  

You can shop both looks below:

Thanks to Nordstrom for partnering on this post.

Loving Lately | Beauty Edition

Today I wanted to share a few Beauty Items I have been loving.  I would love to hear if you gals are using anything amazing I should try out!! 

Aerin Honeysuckle Perfume

I recently got a sample of this perfume and loved it so much I ordered it.  Such a light, fresh scent.  I am picky about perfume and hate them to be too over powering and this one is not.

Dry Bar Blonde Ale Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner

I have been hooked on this line since I went to the new Drybar here in Charleston.  All the products are amazing and smell.  This shampoo and conditioner is great for blonde hair.

Dry Bar Prep Rally Detangler 

This has replaced my beloved It's a 10 for now.  It smells so good and makes my hair easier to brush and hold style.

Charlotte Tilbury Mascara

This is another free sample I received with a Nordstrom order and fell in love with it!  It makes your lashes look so long and full.  I honestly love every Charlotte Tilbury product I have tried.

Beauty Counter Mask Sets

I am so excited because Beauty Counter just launched a line of 3 mask sets.  They include a mask, a mist and an oil targeted for certain problems.  Ya'll know I am a huge fan of their charcoal mask.  You can buy each of the items separately but it is cheaper as a trio.  I just ordered the brightening set to try and I will let y'all know how I like it.

Balancing Spa Set

Plumping Set

Beachwaver

So many of you have asked about this tool and yes I am still loving it!  Honestly I am lazy about my hair most days and don't use it more than once a week but it is so easy to use and does the perfect loose wave.  It works quickly too I can curl my whole head in about 10 minutes.

Chanel Face Cream

I mentioned this the other day but it is a new nightly face cream I am using and loving.  It smells amazing and really moisturizes.  I have dry skin so I like a good moisturizer at night.  Nordstrom is running their Beauty event right now too so if you spend $125 you get a set of 17 products to try!

Body Scrub

Beauty Counter body scrub is hands down the best body scrub ever.  I promise once you try it you will be hooked.  It exfoliates your skin and leaves it feeling so soft.

Estee Lauder Lipgloss

I am addicted to this gorgeous pink color called Passionate Fushsia.  It is the perfect pink color.  It does not go on as bright as it looks in the bottle.  I think it is flattering on everyone too!

Herbivore Face Mask

I have been using this face mask about 2 months now and loving it.  I actually love the whole Herbivore line.   It is a clean line with no harsh ingredients or chemicals. This is a clarifying and cooling gel mask.  It helps renew skin cells and always makes my skin look smoother afterwards.

Sweet Potato Nibbles + Workout Outfit + Open Door Shop Giveaway

I made this appetizer for happy hour with my neighbors last night but it could totally serve as a main meal too.  The combo of sweet potatoes, goat cheese, bacon, pears and thyme is off the hook good.  And did I mention easy??  The hardest part of this is slicing and roasting the potatoes.  Such an easy and delicious app or main meal.

Enjoy! 

|| S W E E T  P O T A T O  N I B B L E S ||

- 1 large sweet potato sliced

- honey goat cheese

- 1 pear sliced

- 6 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled

- 2 tablespoons thyme

Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1 inch rounds.  Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil and salt and pepper.  Lay on a baking sheet.  Preheat oven to 350 roast about 15 minutes, then flip each slice over to cook evenly.  Cook about another 15 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let cool.

Lay on a platter and top with goat cheese, sliced pear. crumbled bacon, and thyme.  You can also drizzle with honey if you want,  

Serve warm or room temperature.

Yesterday's workout outfit, that turned into an all day outfit.  This tank and leggings are two of my favorites.  The leggings not only suck you in and are flattering but they are so comfy too.
