Thoughts For Friday

TGIF Friends. I am so ready for the weekend.  We have no plans tonight other than our standard Friday night pizza and then going out tomorrow night with some friends that are visiting!

If you are looking for some delicious tequila you should try George Clooney's tequila.  We tried it

 this week for taco night and it was really smooth.  Apparently George knows his tequila.

If you are looking for the absolute cutest kids store please check out Progeny Shoppe and if you live in Raleigh even better you can shop in person.  I love every single item they carry.  They sent Frances Moon this adorable bubble, it is perfection.

\\ Anais and I Baby Bubble

My sister advised me of a sale Pottery Barn kids was running.  She had ordered the cutest travel duffel bag for her son and I totally copied her.  It is a great travel bag if you need one and with the monogram the total is still only $22.  I feel like it is a bag he can use for several years because it is not babyish.  They had several styles on sale for girls and boys.

\\ Snakeskin Duffel

My Equipment Grayson Dress arrived and I just love it.  I wore it out to a girls dinner last night.

\\ Grayson Dress (on sale)

We ate at a new restaurant Leon's that I have been dying to try.

It did not disappoint. We shared the fried shrimp sandwich, the black eyed pea salad,  and siam salad.

It all was excellent.

We had a bit of a health scare with Frances Moon this week and had to have some kind of scary tests run.  It makes my heart to go out to anyone with a child going through something serious.

Thank goodness everything was fine, but man was it un-nerving.  While we were at the hospital I stopped in Starbucks and found this chocolate, it is amazing!!

 Matt and I finally finished Season 2 of House of Cards and loved it.  I need ya'll to recommend something new we can watch together preferably on Netflix!

I am so honored to be featured in this month's Peachy Magazine.  I am dishing on my favorite restaurants, shops, and activities in Charleston.  You can read my article here!

Enjoy your weekends!

NDM Styles : Florals

I have been obsessed with florals lately.  Just can't get enough of them.  

I am a huge fan of Rebecca Taylor.  I always love her prints, patterns, and feminine style.

This top has been a summer favorite of mine, paired with my distressed jean shorts that I have been living in!

Joie Sandals | Gorjana  Teagan Ring | Coralee Bracelets |

 Ray Ban Aviators

The colors of the blouse are so pretty up close.

I am wearing a size 4 for those curious about sizing.  This blouse is not as roomy as some of her other styles because it is a touch fitted in the hips,  so order TTS.

Loving my gorgeous bracelets Coralee Boutique was sweet enough to send me and this Gorjana ring goes with everything.  I find myself wearing it everyday.

Matt likes to make fun of my shorts and calls them Bon Jovi shorts, but I actually love them. They are so comfortable too!

This outfit is pretty much perfect for these hot Summer days.

The Floral print from Rebecca Taylor comes in several other styles, all on sale!  Shop below:

Kate Spade Surprise Sale 75% Off

Normally I don't do two posts in one day unless its something awesome and this Kate Spade sale is!!  You have to act fast because the sale ends tonight at midnight.  These prices are insane,  $400 and $500 purses down to $150 so if you need a new purse now is the time to buy.  I just bought this one for a new everyday purse.   I own these earrings in the clear and wear them all the time!   I rounded up my favorites that are amazing steals!   Happy Shopping!

Tomato Spinach Pie

Once the Summer months hit, I start craving tomato pie.  It is not good unless you have really ripe in season tomatoes, so now is the time to make this beauty.  I picked up a couple of gorgeous heirloom tomatoes that I knew would be just perfect for this pie.  I decided to tweak my original recipe a bit by adding in fresh spinach and caramelizing my onions.  I loved the outcome.  The spinach blended right in and added an extra veggie and the caramelized onions added great flavor!  This is a summer staple in our house.  

Enjoy!

|| T O M A T O  S P I N A C H  P I E ||

-  1 Pie crust ( I just use store bought but you can make our own)

- 3 heirloom tomatoes sliced thinly (regular tomatoes work fine too)

- 1 yellow onion sliced thinly

- 1 clove garlic minced

- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

- 2 cups fresh spinach sliced thinly

- 2-3 tablespoons mayo (use as much or as little mayo as you like, you could probably sub sour cream if you don't like mayo)

- several dashes hot sauce

- 1 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese

- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

- fresh basil

Salt the tomatoes and let rest on paper towels for an hour or more to remove excess liquid. Tomatoes need to be dry or the pie will be really soggy.

Cook pie crust at 400 degrees about 10 minutes.  Take out and let cool.

Sauté the onions in the butter over medium heat, sprinkle with the sugar and cook until caramelized. Stir in the garlic toward the end of cooking because you don't want it to burn.

Mix spinach with mayo and add in several dashes of your favorite hot sauce.

Layer pie.  Start with spinach, tomatoes, onions, and cheese.  Repeat layers one more time ending with cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees 30-40 mins until cheese is bubbly but not too browned.  Sprinkle with fresh basil. 

Let pie sit for awhile before cutting it, because it will be juicy.  We let ours sit a good 30 mins and it still was juicy but delicious.

Obsessions

|| Equipment Lewis Shorts||

I know I included these shorts last week, but had to include them again so you can actually see them on.  They are sold out pretty much everywhere but I did manage to find one spot that carries them.  They run TTS, I am in a small.  They zip up the back and are higher waisted for a great fit.  I am in love with mine.

|| Equipment Grayson Dress ||

I have lusted after this dress forever and it is finally on sale!  It comes in hot pink, navy and turquoise.

I went with the Turquoise color, thought it would be great for Summer.

|| Rachel Pally Bikini ||

I had no idea Rachel Pally did swimwear but I am obsessed with this bikini.  The bottoms looks like they actually offer coverage and I love the top!

|| Gap Lemon Bathing Suit ||

I am totally obsessed with the new Gap Rainforest line.   This bathing suit is so adorable and I love the parrot trunks for the boys.

|| Velvet and Graham Embroidered Top ||

Love this white blouse.  The details are awesome.  It is already on sale but through tonight you can get an additional 25% off.  I would pair it with white jeans or my distressed jean shorts.

|| DV Dixan Sandal ||

Another great sandal from DV.   These look so much more expensive then they are!

|| Parker Bayou Maxi ||

This is such a great maxi for a wedding or any special event.  Can't decide if I love the solid color or print more!

 || Spell Late Summer Romper ||

This may be the only romper I would actually wear. Love the white simplicity and scalloped bottom.

|| Lulu and Georgia Woven Pink Bowl ||

I have been lusting over this bowl since I saw it on instagram.  It would look so good on a coffee table or filled fruit in a kitchen.

|| See by Chloe Leather Tote ||

I have been on the hunt for a new everyday purse.  Loving this classic See by Chloe tote.   It also comes in black.
