Scenes From Our Weekend

I just realized this is the last week of July! Where has the first half of this year gone?  I feel like the Holidays are going to be upon us before we know it! I started off Friday with a pool date with my favorite ladies and their kids.   Apparently I need to get Sterling a puddle jumper, he was the only kiddo sans a float!


I will say it again but I am obsessed with my Rag and Bone White Skinny Jeans.  They are the perfect white jean and I have tried on many.  This was my outfit from Friday:


Friday night we enjoyed some time near the water.  It was so nice and refreshing.  Always the perfect end to a busy week.



Check out my glass of wine that I ordered Friday at our Yacht Club.  Now that's what I call a healthy pour wine!


I have a new addiction and it is a smoothie every morning.  I usually do bananas and strawberries but I switched it up Saturday with fresh cherries and it was amazing.  I blend:  Approx 1/2 cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt, 2 Bananas, 1/2 cup pitted and diced cherries and ice.  This makes enough for 3 smoothies for me, Matt and Sterling. 


Sunday we cooked a down home kind of meal: BBQ Chicken, Butter beans, Okra, and Skillet Corn.


We don't cook chicken often because I am super weird about chicken and the way it is cooked, but I was craving BBQ chicken last night.  I had no idea what kind of BBQ sauce to buy.  I browsed and browsed and 90 percent of all the store brand BBQ sauce's first ingredient was Corn Starch- umm I don't think so, not eating that processed shiz.  After reading labels for 20 mins (I am not kidding) I randomly picked this bottle.  The ingredients were fairly fresh plus I liked the guy on the label.  Well it turned out to be awesome!! Such great flavor we will most def use this sauce again!


I stayed up way too late last night watching the Bachelorette season finale and After The Final Rose.  Reality Steve was right on about her choosing Jef.  I did feel bad for Arie he seemed truly shocked.   I thought it was nice she let him go early,  unlike Ashley last season who let Ben get down on one knee and propose when she knew she wanted JP- so rude and humiliating.  Jef really grew on me this season and his hair finally got a little better towards the end.  He seems like a very respectable guy hard to believe he is only 25.  I hope they last but I am not counting on it.  Lastly, I have to admit I did not like Emily's final dress at all- did y'all?



Neiman Marcus just started their Last Call Sale.  All sale items you get an additional 25% off.   That means almost 70% off regular prices!  There are some seriously good deals online so check it out!


Get to shopping and Happy Monday!

Seriously, you always have the best outfits. After I get to my goal weight I think I may check out the Rag and Bone jeans, they look super cute. I was surprised how much I ended up liking Emily and Jef together. I actually think they are pretty cute together. And your little boy is just the cutest!!

Haha, OMG, HATED her dress! I was like, seriously? The girl could where whatever her heart desires and THAT was her choice? Also, I had a similar outfit on this weekend - white skinnies, teal shirt with shoulder slits and a yellow J.Crew bauble! xoxo www.styleoyster.blogspot.com

Looks like such a fun weekend! We are coming to Charleston Sat-Monday for our 2yr wedding anniversary! Oh and I didn't like Emily's dress either...out of all the choices-definitely NOT what I would've picked!

XoXo,

looks like a great weekend :) love the white jean outfit. hated, hated, hated her final dress. And YES I still can't believe ashley not only let him get on one knee, but a full proposal - so much better the way Emily did it but I am so upset..... I loved arie and her together and their chemistry was insane. now the pathetic watching of bachelor pad commences.... when will I ever learn??

We love Stubbs, it is a regular staple at our house! yum yum!
Also - I agree, I was surprised by Emily's dress...she does seem to pull off everything, but I would have picked a hundre dresses before that one.

The Peak of Tres Chic said...

I am right there with ya- what was she thinking with that dress?! Sad she didn't chose Arie. :(

Love Stubbs BBQ sauce but I am a native Texan. Their pork marinade is awesome too but completely different than Carolina BBQ.
