Obsessions

I just love this dress.  The color, the neckline, the style,  it is the perfect effortless summer dress.  Love it so much it will be arriving at my doorstep tomorrow.

I like to treat myself to one new pair of Tory Burch shoes each year and this is my pick for the summer.  The black is so classic but I am really leaning towards the yellow.


I am smitten with pink for Summer and this necklace is the perfect shade.  It would go with everything!  Best part it is only $36!

{CLOUD BREAK SAUVIGNON BLANC}
I bought a case of this wine for Sterling's birthday party that we never got to use because the stomach bug hit us hard.  Anyways lucky for us, because Matt and I have been enjoying it, every night the past week.  It is a great wine and only $6.99 at Total Wine.  Go buy some today, I promise you won't regret it!  I am actually off today to stock up on more!
 
This blouse comes in 3 fabulous colors and I can't decide which I love more.  It is such a great price, only $59 plus you can get additional 10% off with code TUESDAYS today.




I am  pretty sure I am going to order this shower curtain for our hall bathroom.  Let me tell you cute shower curtains are hard to come by.  I have looked a million places and this is the forerunner so far.   I love the look.



I have wanted a set of cheese markers forever.  I love a cheese tray and entertain with one often.  These are so cute and would be a really great hostess gift as well!



I found this Nest Candle at TJMaxx last week and greedily snatched her up.  I could not believe my luck.  It smells amazing, so amazing that I want to order several more to have on hand.  I light a candle almost everyday in our house.  I think they make stellar gifts too.  This one smells really fresh.

Scenes From Our Weekend

We had a fantastic weekend.  It was jam packed with good food, drinks, and fun!

I finally picked up my Cane Back Chair from the Upholster and I am thrilled with the results.  I ended up going with Navy Velvet and brass nailheads.  Very traditional, I feel like I can jazz it up with a fun pillow.


I think I am going to order one of these Kelly Wearstler pillows for the back of the chair.  Which pattern do ya'll vote for Bengal Bazaar or Confetti?


Friday Night we were lucky enough to score tickets to one of the Food and Wine Festival Events at the Old JailHouse.  It was super fun minus the fact that it was unseasonably cold this weekend!  We were freezing our butts off outside,  but the delicious drinks helped to warm us up.

Chassity and I of course could not pass up a photo op with Captain Jack Sparrow.  He was pretty talented with the eyeliner.


The drinks at the party were so innovative and tasty.  They featured Rum and Tequila, of course the Tequila ones were my favorite!


Saturday we played some ball with our little man, he is pretty darn good with a baseball.  and yes it was like 40 degrees outside but he insisted on no jacket- so hard headed sometimes.


I had a fun girls dinner out at Cypress Saturday night and don't judge but I wore the same dress I wore Friday night.  I switched out the jewelry and it was totally different people I was hanging with so I figured what the heck!  Please tell me some of you are repeat offenders too with your outfits!

The dress is the BB Dakota Noland Dress that I got from Social Dress Shop, it is sold out there but I found it online HERE.  It is such a great dress, I obviously love it since I wore it two days in a row!  It is a great price too!




I became addicted to mini Oreos this weekend.  Sterling and I polished off a bag in 24 hours.  These things are so good!  I won't be buying them again anytime soon after I ate so many of them!  I have no self control around these tasty treats.


My painting from Jenny arrived and I am so smitten.  I can't wait to get her framed and hang her in our house!


Love this quote, Happy Monday!

Would I Reccomend This?

I have gotten several emails asking me specific questions about recent products I have bought, wondering if I love them etc.  I thought it would be fun to give you some reviews on the latest and greatest things in my life.

{Suave Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner}
I bought the Keratin kind specifically for colored hair.  I have to say I love this shampoo and conditioner.  They smell great and I can make it three days without washing my hair.  That is huge.  My hair is sleek afterwards as well and not frizzy.  I use them with the Suave Moroccan Oil.  At $3.50 a bottle you should totally buy this shampoo and conditioner.


{Himalayan Pink Salt}
I was intrigued by this salt after Caycee told me she loved it.  I found some at TJMaxx and promptly bought it.  The color is gorgeous and just looking at it on my counter makes me happy.  But the salt is amazing, it is more intense than regular salt and has an incredible flavor.  Amy had the genius idea of sprinkling it over chocolate desserts- because who doesn't love pink salt sprinkled on their plate.  I highly recommend this pretty and tasty salt.


We have made this recipe twice now, once following Ina's recipe and the second time following Pioneer Woman's recipe.  and both times it was horrible.  The chicken was tough, it was like the lime and tequila cooked the chicken while it marinated in it.  Makes me sick thinking about it, we both took one bite and threw the rest away.  Do not make this recipe it was gross!
DO NOT RECOMMEND!


{Breaking Bad}
Now that we have our Apple TV hooked up we have access to so many great shows.  There were so many I wanted to watch like Friday Night Lights, Downtown Abbey,  and Dexter but Matt chose Breaking Bad.  It is about a guy who gets lung cancer and decides to start selling meth so his family will have enough money when he dies- depressing right??  So I gave the show a shot because Matt was into and it is really good.  It is depressing but it sucks you in.  I actually look forward to our evenings when we watch it.  It is so different from anything else I normally watch.  We finished the first season and are halfway thru the second.  I say give it a shot!


I have talked about Probiotics before on here, I am a big fan.  I was lucky enough to get samples of these and they are great.  They really help regulate your digestion system.  Seriously if you are bloated or constipated take these and they will clear you right out.  They are great for keeping the healthy bacteria in system.  I try to take one everyday!  I can't say enough good things about probiotics.



{Olive Oil as Make-up Remover}
I can't remember who first introduced me to this idea- I think it was after my drug store post.  I figured what the heck I have some good olive oil I will give it a try.  Let me tell you it worked wonders.  The olive oil took every ounce of my eye make-up off and left my eye area feeling so soft and smooth.   It really moisturized the area where I feel like some make-up removers dry it out.   The olive oil seriously worked better than any make-up remover I have used.  Save your money and just use olive oil!  I most def recommend you try this!


Forever 21 has been getting in really cute maxis lately.  I snagged this one for $14.  It comes in olive and black.  It is so soft, it feels like a tee-shirt and so comfortable,  plus it looks cute.  I swear it looks like some other more expensive maxis I have seen for upwards of $200.   Definitely recommend this easy breezy summer dress.  Charleston peeps they have the Olive color in the store but not the black.



Have a great weekend!  We have a busy one filled with lots of fun plans!
I will report back on Monday,  hopefully with some pictures!
