Thoughts For Friday

Yay for the weekend!

This week I was fnally able to try 167 Raw.  It was so good and incredibly fresh. Plus just a cool little lunch spot.  They also sell fresh seafood to take home and cook yourself.

 The homemade chips and guacamole were so good.  I had the crispy oyster taco and grilled fish taco, both were on point.  I also was able to try the lobster roll and scallop po boy and both were incredible.

Several of you asked about my Equipment Dress and what it looked like on.  Runs TTS, I am in a small.  It is light and airy and super comfortable.

How cute are Sterling and Frances before school this week?  I can't get over how much they look alike these days.

This blouse is my new jam.  I am thinking of ordering another color, I love it so much.

Made the easiest most delicious lunch yesterday | Greek Mini Pitas

Split Mini Pitas in half.  Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper and sesame seeds.  Bake at 350 about 10-15 minutes until crispy.  Mix diced cucumber and cherry tomtaoes and drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar.  Scoop the cucumber-tomato mix on the pitas and top with feta and fresh mint.

This bacon jerky from Trader Joe's is the bomb. 

 Go buy like 4 bags you won't regret it.  Matt ate this entire bag in one sitting.

I just ordered from Etsy for the first time. Is it weird I have never ordered anything on Etsy?  The site really overwhelms me, but I found this fabulous embroidered dress (shocker) for Frances.  It is straight from Mexico and all kinds of good.  The dresses are hand made and the detail is amazing.

Here is the buyer I ordered from,

Lastly, I am headed to Dallas next weekend.  I would welcome any suggestions of where to shop or eat.  I will have limited free time because of meetings but would love some fun Dallas recs.  I am staying at the Joule so anything close to there would be fabulous!

My favorite part of The Joule is the rooftop pool.  I can't wait!

Happy weekend.

Everyday Jewelry Favorites

As far as jewelry goes I am pretty minimal.  I do occasionally buy some fun statement pieces but for the most part I like pieces that I can mix in for everyday wear and an evening out.  Since Mother's Day is right around the corner I thought I would share a few of my favorites.  These would make great gifts for any mom or for yourself:)

These are a few of my everyday jewelry pieces I wear often.

Alexis Bittar Earrings | Alexis Bittar Necklace | Kendra Scott Raine Necklace | Kendra Scott Ring

Nail color is Chanel Orange Fizz my newest obsession

I wear the Alexis Bittar earrings daily.  I love the little bit of sparkle they have.

You can layer the necklace or wear it solo.  I chose the rose gold in both because I have been having a bit of a love affair with rose gold jewelry these days.  The earrings and necklace also come in gold or silver as well.  Both are a great price point under $100 - and let me tell you they look way more expensive in person.  They make a gift alone or the pair together.  They are simple, delicate, and feminine which I really like.

The ring is a stunner in person.  It also comes in this beautiful gold color as well.

The Rayne necklace is more of a statement necklace, but I am telling you it goes with everything!!  It comes in a bunch of different colors too if white is not your preference.

A few other gorgeous options for everyday wear all under $160

Lucite Necklace | Geometric Drop Earrings | Gold Cut Out Earrings | Mosiac Bracelet
Encrusted Crisscross Ring |  Station Cuff | Stud Earrings |  Druzy necklace

If you want to invest and spend a little more, I love the Lagos line.  My mom owns several Lagos pieces that I am frequently borrowing. She has been collecting her pieces for years.  They are timeless and go with everything.
These two bracelets I frequently borrow, along with the hoops pictured below.
Lagos Oval Caviar Bracelet | Diamond Rope Bracelet (similar)

Link Bracelet | Hoop Earrings | Cross Necklace | Criss Cross Ring | Prism Bracelet | X Bracelet |  Prism Necklace | Maya Ring (comes in 3 colors) | Diamond Ring

With Mother's Day in a few short weeks, all of these are great gift options from Nordstrom.  Don't forget they will price match and always free shipping and free returns which I love.
You can my favorites below.  

Thanks to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post.

Easy Pad Thai

Ever since I saw my girl Taylor post this recipe I have been wanting to make it! It certainly did not disappoint and could not be easier.  Now I won't promise you this is as good as Pad Thai from a restaurant because there is nothing better than really good Pad Thai.  But this dish is legit, full of flavor and I will most definitely make it again. If you want to save time buy a rotisserie chicken, you could also add shrimp if you want.  I actually tripled the sauce- we are sauce people round here.
