|| HOUSE ACCOUNT APP ||

All my fellow shoppers if you don't have this app (its free) you are missing out.  You must download it today! The House Account App updates daily and shows you pictures of all the new merchandise your local stores are getting in.  You can hand pick the stores you want to follow to create a list specific just for you.  I have all my favorite Charlotte and Charleston stores saved on mine.  It is so awesome especially having little ones to know what a store has in before I make the trek over there.  You can even chat with the owners to find out the price and have them hold something or purchase over your phone.  Shopping made super easy.  Plus it helps support local businesses!  It really is such a genius app.  I check mine several times a day to see what is new!

You can download the app for free HERE.

Below are a few screen shots to let you see how the app works.  I highly recommend it and check out their website too www.houseacct.com, you can see my top ten shopping picks from our local stores on there! 

|| EQUIPMENT GRAYSON SILK DRESS ||

I have a real soft spot for hot pink dresses.  I love my long sleeve Equipment Dress so much that I am pretty certain I need this short sleeve version for Spring.  A great everyday dress or one you could easily dress up.  It also comes in turquoise and navy.

|| BB DAKOTA GRENDELL TUNIC ||

This is the perfect white tunic dress.  Picture it with cute gladiator sandals or even flip flops.  Such a fabulous Summer dress or beach cover up at a great price.

|| DV VIERA ANKLE SANDALS ||

I am totally smitten with these DV sandals.  Best part they are only $68, but don't they look like they cost alot more??  I am buying these for this Summer just can't decide what color!  They come in 4 fabulous colors but my favorite two are below.

|| RORY BECCA LEOPARD SKIRT ||

I think this is such a great skirt for Spring and Summer.  I would wear it with a fitted white or black tank and flip flops for an easy everyday outfit!  You know I love a leopard print.

||GAP METALLIC SCRUNCH LOAFERS ||

How amazing are these metallic scrunch loafers from the Gap?  They are a steal at $44!  They also come in navy, pewter, and gold but I am partial to the Rose Pink.  Use code JUSTFORU to get additional 25% off your order.

|| RAG AND BONE NEW GIADA TEE ||

Rag Bone Tees are slowly becoming my favorite tees.   Yes, they are a bit pricey but worth the investment.

Obsessed with this new version, I love the marbled look.

|| RAY BAN AVIATORS ||

I finally have a pair of Raybans and I am obsessed.  I wanted the blue ones and finally found them at Nordstrom.  They are so awesome, now heres to hoping I don't lose them!

The ones I am wearing are the gold/blue gradient.

|| BALLS OF STEEL ||

The name makes you chuckle, right?  Well these tiny steel balls are made to help spread awareness about testicular cancer while chilling your drink.  BOS was sweet enough to send us a set and we love them. The balls are made of the highest grade and quality of stainless steel and they work to deliver a faster, longer lasting chill while preserving the flavors of your drink without diluting it. These would make a great gift for any man in your life.

Purchasing these balls helps fund testicular research, so its a win win.  They work great in whiskey and vodka or really any liquor!

You can shop the balls Here:) 

|| TORY BURCH BORIA ONE PIECE ||

Tory Burch swimwear is on point this year, I am loving everything.  This one piece is one of my favorites.  Classically sexy.

Scenes From Our Weekend: Blizzards, Birthdays + Baptism

Whew.  It has been a whirlwind week and weekend.  Last week we were in Charlotte when the big snow storm hit so me and the kids were snowed in with my rents.   Not gonna lie it was nice to have someone cook me meals and provide me with good wine all week.  It was relaxing but I am not a cold weather person, the snow was fun for a day and then I was over it.  Sterling however loved it!  It brought me so much joy to see how much fun he was having!  My dad was so great with him and helped him build a snowman and sled- all that fun snow stuff that Mama was too cold to do!

Get ready for picture overload today:)

 

My sweet dad took him sledding and I think that was his favorite part, he is still talking about it!

Luckily we were able to drive back to Charleston Friday just in time for Sterling's Birthday Party Saturday.  We went low key this year with just Sterling's closest friends and did a party at the Yacht Club.  How would we know it would be the coldest windiest day ever??  We had to move the party inside, but it worked.  The kids were warm and us adults enjoyed some adult beverages.

Because my family was going to already be in town for Sterling's party I scheduled Frances Moon's baptism for the next day.  Sadly my sister's husband got the stomach bug so they couldn't come and my brother and his wife had the baptism for their other niece the same day so they were out as well but it still was a beautiful day even though they were greatly missed.

My two boys patiently waiting before we were introduced during the service.

Frances did amazing during the service, no tears.  I was one proud Mama!

Several of you asked about my dress on Instagram is 10 Crosby Derek Lam and on major sale right now, here.  It runs on the smaller side I went up a size and got a 6 because it is a more fitted dress.  But let me tell you it is one of my all time favorite dresses! Super flattering and classic!

Afterwards we had our families and a few close friends over for brunch.  I feel so blessed to have such a great family and friends to help us celebrate this special day.

I made my first ever crock pot breakfast casserole.  It was so easy and so good, recipe to come!

  Our family of four.  Sterling is not very cooperative for pictures, EVER.  This was the best we got. 

Me and mom and Frances Moon, her mom's namesake. Frances was clearly over pictures at this point.

and this picture made me laugh, both kids are like enough pictures already- and I bet you are thinking the same thing:)  Have a great Monday wish I could get back in my routine but school is out again here!  I am off to the dreaded Chuckie Cheese to let Sterling play, wish me luck!
