Scenes From Our Weekend

Happy President's Day!  Since school is out today I am having a birthday party for Sterling and a few friends because he turns 6 tomorrow.  I honestly can't believe he will be 6!  Time flies. 

Thursday night we had a girl's night at Bin 152.  It is hands down one of my favorite wine bars in town.  I had not been in almost year, so I was thrilled to go back.  They have a such a great wine selection and their charcuterie boards are the best I have ever had.

A few things I am loving these days | Tassels + Fringe + Embroidery 
The shoes are only $32 and you can use code PRES today to save additional 25% off.

Frances Moon after her Valentine's Party.  She was so excited about all the candy she got:)

I enjoyed lunch at CO, a spot I often forget about,  their food is always on point.  We started with edamame spring rolls and beef kimchi dumplings.

Friday night Matt and I tried a new restaurant with a few friends called The Watch.

It is located on the rooftop of a new boutique hotel on Wentworth Street called The Restoration.  I definitely want to find an excuse to spend a night at The Restoration.  I loved the atmosphere and decor.   


The menu had lots of great options.
I enjoyed the Roasted Vegetable Salad and Cauliflower Soup and Matt had the lobster roll, served with the most delicious homemade chips.

I wore my first Lily Pulitzer purchase for me, The Elsa Blouse.  My girlfriends talked into buying one and I have to say I love the fit and the bright pink.  Sometimes the Lily patterns can be too much for me but I loved this solid version. The pink is the perfect shade of hot pink.  Sizing wise I recommend sizing down, I am in an XS.
Saturday we had a low key afternoon and then headed to our neighbors for Happy Hour and pizza.
I made my Greek Salad Bites again, always a favorite and easy appetizer to whip together.  
How cute are the Koi Fish appetizer plates??  They come in 4 different colors. 

Sunday Matt brought us all Bojangles for our Valentine's Breakfast.  Gotta love The Bo.

Then we headed to The Southeastern Wildlife Festival.  We had never been before.  I feel like every year one of us is usually sick this weekend so we were excited to check it out.
Sterling rode a camel and loved it!

The kids also loved the petting zoo.


Thanks to our friend Thomas we managed to get a family picture where everyone was looking at the camera and smiling:)
My Missoni Scarf is on sale in a pink version.  It is also on sale in a non infinity version too.  My mom gave me this scarf 3 years for Christmas and it is still my favorite scarf ever.

After we put the kids to bed Matt and I celebrated Valentine's Day with some champagne, our favorite vodka penne, and tiramisu.

Have a great week.

Style Files Vol 3 | Off Shoulder Obsessed

It is no secret round here that I love an off shoulder blouse.  It is such a fun look.
I really liked the ruffle detail on this blouse and the fact that it was black because I could wear it so many different ways. I figure in the Summer it will be cute paired with shorts and white jeans.  Now I like it paired with regular jeans and I just toss a leather jacket on over it when its really cold.  



These tassel earrings are my favorites.  I now have them in 3 different colors.
They come in so many different color options, and many are 50% off right now- HERE.

This purse.  I have been carrying it non-stop.   You can also remove the straps and carry it just as a clutch too.

The blouse runs on the large side, so I recommend sizing down.  I am wearing a size XS.
I am wearing the McGuire Jeans again that I featured last week.  They are such a great fit and they hold their structure and don't stretch out too much. They also sit higher on your waist which I like.  no low rise jeans for me post babies:)


MLM is a new label to me and I am quickly falling in love with all their designs.  They make the blouse I am wearing.  It also comes in the dress versions below, that are gorgeous.  Their line is not crazy expensive most items are under $200.



They also just came out with this stripe style that I love for the Spring.  I think the blue and white is such a fresh combo.

This dress is a little more expensive but I adore the floral print.  Would be perfect for any weddings or bridal events. 




I also wanted to mention Nordstrom's clearance sale started today!  I will be back tomorrow with some of the best buys. Below are 3 favorites sitting in my cart waiting for me to make a final decision!

I am especially loving this Joie blouse, the purple colors are so stunning.
This Rebecca Taylor blouse is even prettier in person.  The embroidery detail is gorgeous.

and this Rebecca Minkoff purse is 50% off in 3 colors.  I am tempted to get the pink.
