10 Things I am Loving

Today I wanted to share a few things I am loving lately.

ONE | Washed V-Neck Tee

I am a sucker for a super soft tee. I bought this one yesterday and trust me ladies it feels like pajamas it is so soft!! I sized up to a medium because I can't stand when my tee shirts are too fitted. I am wearing the washed black color but it also comes in 3 other colors and is under $20.

TWO | Planner + Notebook

I love stationary and paper goods. I am also super old school and love to write down my appointments and to-do list. This is a favorite planner and notebook. They are slim and fit right in your purse. The notebook you can re-use year to year and just order refill pages. They come in so many patterns but I loved the one below.

You can shop all the patterns HERE

THREE | Bracelets

I own these bracelets in the gold and rose gold colors. I just saw they are now out in black and white. I picked up the white last week. They are the perfect size for stacking.

FOUR | Tie Dye Dress

I just bought this dress over the weekend. I had admired it online and finally had the chance to try it on and loved it. I always love a shift dress because they can be so versatile, dressed up or down.

FIVE | Simple Human Mirror

Ladies, this mirror is amazing for doing your make-up. After using my mom's every time I was home I was convinced I needed one. The mirror automatically lights up every time your face approaches and it provides 10x magnification. I especially love the rose gold color.

It also comes in a smaller travel size as well.

SIX | Charlotte Tilbury Make-Up Set

I have heard rave reviews about Charlotte Tilbury's make-up and been waning to try it. This set was a great way for me to try a few items at once. I chose the natural kit and so far I am loving it. I am planning a beauty post soon and will share more favorites.

SEVEN | Booties

I love the grommet detail on these booties. They come in several different colors and are not crazy expensive.

EIGHT | Alabaster Lamps

I am currently working on re-vamping our master bedroom. I just ordered these and they are even more gorgeous in person.

NINE | Juice Glasses

I love these juice glasses from Anthro. I saw them in store and they are so pretty. I am thinking of getting the pink color.

TEN | Off Shoulder Tunic

I love the length of this because it would be perfect to wear with leggings. It comes in several colors and is under $50.

Scenes From Our Weekend + Marinated Cheese Recipe

The kids are out of school til Wednesday so we are still enjoying a long weekend.

Friday night we had happy hour with our neighbors before we left town.

Off Shoulder Blouse | Purse | Bracelets | Watch | Jeans

I made this marinated cheese for the appetizer. It is super easy and always a hit. Several of you asked for the recipe so see below!

The recipe was passed along from my mom's good friend Jane. I like to serve this with triscuits to soak up the marinade. I mix the Cracker Barrel white and orange sharp cheddar.

New smoothie I am loving:

Coconut water, strawberries, frozen banana, frozen mangos, frozen pineapple, and greek yogurt. The kids of course loved this one. and I finally ordered my Vitamix! It should arrive this week, I am so excited!

I am newly addicted to Parenthood. I plowed through the first season this week. I spent Saturday night in pjs watching more episodes:) I can't believe I didn't watch this when it originally aired, it is so good!

My mom introduced me to these Bedhead PJ's and I am really liking them. They come in such cute patterns and are so comfy!!

Cherry Print

Scroll through to see some other prints and many are on sale!

Favorite Bagel from Brueggers.

I do a sun-dried tomato bagel, with veggie cream and sun-dried spread. Then load it up with all the veggies.

Sunday we went to church.

Dress also Here and in pink | Pumps

I always love with I can snuggle with my sweet nephew Rutledge.

Blouse also Here

These two are addicted to listening to music and music videos on my IPad. Then they preform dance parties for me afterwards:)

How gorgeous is this orchid??

I am so excited because we just booked a girl's trip to St John next month. We have been trying to plan a trip for the past year and now it is happening! I would love any recs of what to do in St John especially restaurants and beach bars.
