Obsessions

Rag and Bone tees are my absolute favorite.  I love the hemline on this one and it is the perfect shade of gray to go with everything!

I own this in the Summer leopard print and love it.  Wear it all the time.

I totally forgot to check out the home section of the Nordstrom sale.  I stumbled upon these beauties.  They would be so cute in a kids room!  They would look awesome with a big monogram in the middle in a neon color like pink or orange.


Love this statement necklace!  I like the two tone with gold and silver.


I adore the back of this tank!!  Looks like lululemon but for a fraction of the price!!


I bought a BB Dakota faux leather jacket last year and was blown away by the quality.  It looks and feels similar to real leather. I get compliments every time I wear.  This would be a great jacket for Fall at a great price!


One Kings Lane has had some awesome artwork lately.  I am a huge Kate Mullin fan, she is a local artist here in Charleston.  This printed canvas is 50% off!

Speaking of local artwork, don't forget to head over to Furbish at 11 to check out my friend WayWay Allen's pop up art sale.  She is so talented, grab a piece while you can!  Shop Furbish HERE.



I have been wanting a pair of mirrored Raybans and when I saw these gold ones I knew I needed them!!  Added bonus they are polarized!


This is my favorite beach cover-up.  I love the new pattern it came out in! 
It is also available in this off the shoulder version as well.



This is another gem from the Nordstrom sale.  Prices go back up this weekend so shop while you can!  I love ombre and cashmere.  This is a scarf you could toss on with any outfit and it would look good!


Lastly til noon today at Piperlime you can take 25% off all purses and shoes!  Use code SHOPFAST.  I am thinking about finally biting the bullet on this Claire V Clutch.  Scroll thru to see my favorites.

Scenes From Our Weekend

Happy Monday.  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Sterling left yesterday to go stay with my parents for a few days.  I know it is good for him to have time away from me but man I miss him!  Hoping I can work on some home projects and tackle some stuff while he is gone!

Our new patio furniture arrived from World Market and I assembled it all by myself.  I was pretty proud of myself.  All their outdoor furniture is 50% off right now.  A great time to buy if you need anything.  I love ours.  Ours was a 4 piece set with two chairs, a bench and table.  Shop all the Outdoor furniture here.



Friday for lunch I tried out a new restuarant called Angel Oak down Hwy 17.  It was so good.  I had the veggie sandwich and brussels sprouts.  Delicious!


Friday night we headed to the Yacht Club with Matt while he registered for a fishing tournament.
I have been wearing this Equipment Blouse nonstop, I love it!



Saturday Matt fished all day for the James Island Yacht Club Fishing Tournament so I took the kids to do our standard Farmers Market / doughnut run.  It is Sterling's favorite thing to do!  He decided to dress as Superman for the day:)


Doughnuts are always a hit.  He demolished two!


I stopped back in Callies Hot Little Biscuit to pick up some of her Dillicious Dip.  It is amazing!  So are the homemade crackers.

My Teil Duncan Print arrived from One Kings Lane and it is even better in person.  I am working on a little master bathroom re-do this week and then I am going to hang it in there!  Her pieces are 50% off right now and best part they are already framed and ready to hang!


I also love this one.

Saturday night we headed back to the Yacht Club to hear the winners.  Matt placed third in his division for flounder.  He caught this massive red fish that they let go because of its size- holy wow right?


Here are the winning flounders.

Frances Moon turned 8 months over the weekend. I swear time goes by faster with each child you have. She is such true a delight.


Sunday night we celebrated Matt's Birthday. We have been celebrating birthdays together since we were 21. Hard to believe he's 35, we are inching closer to 40!  He still looks pretty young to me and you are only as old as you feel right?


Have a great week friends!

These are my Confessions.....


Happy Friday Friends.  It has been awhile since I did one of these posts. Since I shared mine I would love if you shared yours too.

-  I have turned into such a stalker at night while my kids sleep. It is my favorite thing to do, to go in and watch them sleeping.  They are so peaceful and after a long day it makes me so grateful for their sweet angelic faces.

- Lately I have been over every single room in my house.  Feeling like I want to redecorate every room which I obviously can't afford to do.  I am trying to save and re-do things slowly but I like instant gratification.  I am trying to be happy with what I have but sometimes it is hard when I see all these huge beautiful houses on the internet.

- Is it weird I am jealous and envious of Adam Levine's wedding??  I have such a huge crush on him and she is just stunning.  They are kind of a perfect couple.  Plus I love the vibe and location of their wedding.  It should have been me:(   and on a side note are Beyonce and Jay Z really splitting up after the tour??

- I am starting to realize the older you get it is damn hard to loose weight.  I exercise and eat healthy most of the time and my last 5 lbs pounds of baby weight just won't budge and it is driving me nuts.  

- Last night while we were laying in bed Matt told me my hair smelled gamey.  and proceeded to give me a lecture on washing it more often.   It made me laugh I hate washing my hair!
 
- Sterling has been taking one on one swim lessons and still can't swim.  He cries and makes such a scene and it stresses me out.  I want him to learn to swim on his own and he could care less.  I was actually embarrassed yesterday the way he acted, crying like a baby and would not even try anything.

- If you have kids do you ever truly have a clean house?  I feel like there is crap in every corner of my house.  I spend so much time picking it up just to find more junk pulled out.

- I used to love to read magazines.  Now I find when I get in bed it is hard for me to concentrate on anything.  I like to zone out and not concentrate.  I rarely watch tv anymore and honestly just want to sit in silence and play on my phone.  I have a stack of like 20 magazines I still need to read.

- I spend way more time on my phone than is necessary.  Sometimes I feel like it controls me and I am addicted to it.  I blame instagram I love the sneak peek into people's lives.

-I feel like my kids are growing up way too fast.  Frances Moon is 8 months now and so close to being one year.  I feel like the last year has flown by.  Sterling starts kindergarten in a year and that makes me sad.  I just want to freeze time and relish in this time period while they are young and innocent.

- I lay in bed at night and worry about the world ending and another world war.  All this weird weather, wild fires, shootings, plane crashes, and unrest over seas makes me anxious.  The world is a crazy place and I worry about the future for my kids.

- I have turned into a mom that raises her voice and yells sometimes.  I don't even realize I am doing it half the time Matt has to remind me.  I get so angry and have so little patience lately.  I hate that about myself.  I don't want to have a short temper with my kids. 

 - Marriage is so hard after you have kids.  I find I put so much time and effort into taking care of my kids and house when it comes time for Matt I am exhausted.  He gets home from work and I just want a break and silence. It is such a struggle to juggle kids and your husband.

- I don't love to run but I love the silence it brings me in the morning.  It is the only time of the day I am truly alone and it is so nice.  I am not a runner.  It is still hard for me to run one mile, but I do like how I feel afterwards. I feel like that alone time and exercise makes me happier and a better mom during the day.

-   I look forward to my glass of wine at the end of the day.  Is that wrong?
Like really I count down til 5:00 most days.  Some days it is 4:50.
 

 
- My sister and I are working on a cookbook together.  This is dream we have long had.  Hoping we can make it work, look good, and people will actually buy it!

- I am so over all the blog competition.  Can't we all be friends and all be successful?  This quote made me laugh so hard. Truth.  I love all my blogger friends.


Have a fabulous weekend.
