Scenes From Our Weekend

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  The weather was amazing here this weekend.  Crisp and cool in the mornings and not too hot during the day.  It made me so excited for Fall.

Friday morning I witnessed the most beautiful scene.  Firefighters, police officers, and residents walking the bridge in honor of 9/11 victims.  It was so moving to see this 14 years later.  We will never forget that day.

Friday night we took it easy and grilled out.  We did Shrimp kabobs and I made Ina Garten's Crispy Iceburg Salad.  The recipe is under my recipes tab.  The homemade dressing really makes the salad.  I love the crunch of the radishes and celery.  It is one of our favorite salads.

Saturday morning I headed out to the Wild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms with two girlfriends.  Sometimes when you are a local you forget about awesome spots in your own town.  I am trying to make more of an effort to explore local spots.  

The interior of the resort was decorated perfectly.  I loved these lights.

The weather was overcast but we decided to eat lunch out at the Cabanas anyways.  It was not too hot and the Cabanas were covered so it was such a nice spot.  Living the good life lounging in our Cabana.

Rocking my new Jcrew Sunglasses

Sandals are 50% off in gold version

We ordered several different things from The Sea Island Grill to try off their menu and they all were awesome.  We had the lobster rolls, pimento cheese toasts and charcuterie board.  They were delicious and the presentation was gorgeous.

After lunch we all had massages.  The last time I had a massage was 2 years ago when I was hoping it would induce labor with Frances Moon.  Massages are such a treat.  It was the most relaxed I have been in forever.  I loved this cool rain wall in the spa.

Rows and rows of Oribe.  I love their products. 

My favorites are the Texturizing Spray and Hair Masque

After our massages we headed back to our cabana for a glass of wine and afternoon snack.  

Such a lovely time with these two!!

Saturday night I headed to Kiawah to spend the night with a few of my best friends.  I put my phone away and didn't take one picture all night but we had a blast!  We ate at Jasmine Porch and had cocktails at the Sanctuary.  Such a dreamy spot.

Sunday I was so excited to see these cuties.

Breakfast at Bagel Nation has become a weekly thing for us.  We love that place.  Matt and I are hooked on the Denver Bagel.  Their homemade cream cheeses are all so good.  My favorites are the Veggie, Spanish Olive, and Jalapeno Cheddar.

I have to share this picture of Frances Moon with her baby doll.  She takes it everywhere, it is so sweet.

Have a great Monday!

Weekend Style | Casual Friday

Happy Saturday Friends!  I am off for a fun filled girl's day.   Lunch out at Wild Dunes followed by massages and then a dinner out at Kiawah! 

I wanted to share a favorite casual outfit today. 

 I mentioned this tank two weeks in my favorite tee shirts post.  It is the best.  The jeans are another favorite.  They are 6 years old and I still love them.  They sit higher up on your waist and suck in the flab. I actually own two pairs I love them so much.

The purse I bought this week at Loft after eyeing it for awhile.  I couldn't resist after it was on sale + extra 40% off.  It is a great everyday tote and comes to $27 after the discount!

You can also see a closer look at my necklace, it is a new favorite and great for layering.

Have a great weekend!

Thoughts For Friday

Yippee for Friday!! Even though this was a short week for some reason it still felt long to me.  

This weekend we are having family game night tonight (our Friday night tradition) and Saturday I have a fun girls day planned with an overnight stay at Kiawah!

This week Frances started school.  She will be going 3 mornings this week.  I am happy to have a few hours alone and she loves going and playing with her little friends.

I of course could not resist a leopard book bag for her.  

Several of you asked about her bubble.  I bought it at a local store here called Open House, but found the seller on Etsy as well HERE. | Moccasins

Matt and I started the series Narcos.  When Matt suggested it I was like um, no thank you but after episode one I was hooked.  We have already watched half the season.

For the past 3 days I have been doing a juice cleanse.  I have never done one before but always wanted to.  After an indulgent Summer I was ready to cleanse. Next week I will share all the details and how it went for me.  I wanted to share my new manicure color that coincidentally matched my juice exactly.  

Nail Color is OPI A to Zurich and shoes are Steve Madden (similar)

Last weekend I finally got to try out a new Restaurant near our House, Ellis Camp Fish House.  It was so delicious with gorgeous views.

I highly recommend the fried okra and portobello fries.  

My mom snapped this picture before dinner.

These two are so ready for Halloween.  Skeleton jammies are in full effect.

New sandwich obsession, the Turkey Brie Croissant at Brown Dog Deli.  Simply amazing.

There are so many things I love about Sterling and remind me of me when I was little.  Lately he has been laying out his outfits before school right down to the socks and it just makes my heart melt.  I used to do the same thing before school.  He is an organized fella like his mom:) 

These Rack Room Batman shoes have been on major repeat.

I finished reading Jennifer Weiner's Who do You Love and loved it.  Now I am reading Luckiest Girl Alive .  So far I am loving it.  I read Reese Witherspoon just bought the rights to make it into a movie.

I can not believe it has been 14 years since 9/11.  Praying for all those today who lost loved ones on that horrible day.  I still remember so vividly what I was doing when the planes crashed. It will forever be ingrained in my mind.  Never forget.

Have a great weekend!

Falling For Fall | Obsessions

Happy Thursday!  I wanted to share a few Fall favorites I am loving lately!  

Fisrt off I wanted to mention two of my favorite dresses that were just reduced.

 My Madewell Embroidered Dress just went on sale and there are still a few sizes left.  I love this dress so much.  It does run on the large side so size down, I am wearing a 2. I think you can wear it into Fall with a cardigan and black tights too.

This Mara Hoffman Dress was a winner this Summer.  The colors are stunning in person.  Sizing wise I am in a medium because I wanted a looser fit!  Now on sale!

This tote is also reduced 50% off.  I love all 3 colors it comes in.  I am a huge fan of the bucket tote.

Get Organized!

Alright Friends if you like to be crazy organized like me then you need this planner in your life.  It is so good.  I had heard rave reviews about it and this is my first year getting one.  Apparently last year they sold out very quickly.  The Emily Ley Simplified Planner is where it's at.

I went for the Pineapple print 

I love how the inside is organized by month and daily.  The daily page is broken down by hours too which I love for appointments.

If you don't love pineapples the planner also comes in rainbow stripes and mint/gold dots.

Get one and get organized for 2016!

Also speaking of organization and decluttering, I just started this book and I am loving it so far.

 Great inspirational tips for getting organized and getting rid of crap you don't need.

I really recommend it.
