Scenes From Our Weekend

Hello Monday.

Friday I was invited to attend the grand opening of the new Drybar in Charleston.   We were treated to mimosas and a blow out.  I have to tell you it was such a treat to have my hair done and it lasted all weekend.  They used these 5 products on me and I loved them all.
(The new Drybar is located at 556 King Street)

The salon was so bright and pretty.  They have a book of hair styles you can choose from.  I went with the Mai Tai which was loose beach waves.  

Ashley and I after we had our hair done:)

What I wore:
We grabbed lunch at The Rarebit after our hair appointment.  I had the beet salad and it was really good.  I added grilled chicken for some extra protein.

After school ice cream treat with my little man.

Friday night I headed out for drinks with my girlfriend Krystine. 
What I wore:
Taco boy was in order for lunch Saturday.  I had the chorizo nachos and they were so good!

Outfit planning for St John.  Loving this palm print maxi.  I ordered the size 1.  It can be worn as a dress or cover-up.

Sunday we went to church.  
I admired this beautiful window box on the walk.
Love these two.


What I wore:
My shift dress is currently 40% off.  Also on sale in the black version.  It runs TTS I am wearing a 4.  The back is super cute too. 
The hummer wrap from Dellz is my favorite veggie wrap.
Today is the last day to use code DBDD at Gigi New York to get a free leather luggage tag with your purchase.  Check out my post from Saturday featuring some favorite purses all on major sale.
My clutch pictured below is on sale.

Ended the weekend with the Grammys.  So many fab looks and performances!   I especially loved Bruno Mars and Adele.  I love me some Beyonce but that performance was just a little weird to me.

What I'm Wearing + Tory Burch Sale

Happy Friday!  This weekend is pretty low key for us since most of my family is coming in town next week and weekend for Sterling's birthday (how is he 7) and SEWE!  
I wanted to share a recent outfit that has been on repeat.

I showed this scarf last weekend and I am pretty much in love with the colors.  It looks great paired with gray, black, navy, white, and pink!  It is only $25 and the quality is great. 
Earrings are by Twine and Twig.  They just recently started making earrings and they have some really fun designs.  I like them because they are lightweight and don't hurt my ears.
My booties are an investment but I can't tell you how often I wear them.  Here is a similar less expensive version for under $100.

Arm Candy.  This is my standard go-to daily jewelry.

You can shop my look Here:




I also wanted to mention Tory Burch did a bunch of new markdowns.  The dress I am wearing is now 40% off.  I can't tell you often I wear this.  It is such a great versatile style.  I am wearing a size 4 it runs TTS.
Also on sale 40% off in a pink version as well.
You can shop all the markdowns HERE.  Scroll through to see some of my top picks from the sale.

Loving Lately

I wanted to share a few items I have been loving lately. 


I first read about this mask on Goop.  It was on the list as one of the 9 best "clean" face masks.  I have used it a few times and really like it.  It is a clarifying and cooling face mask.  It feels similar to the Tata Harper face mask when you apply it, super lightweight.  I feel like my skin looked so fresh and bright following using it.
I liked the face mask from Herbivore so much I went back and picked up this Moon Fruit Cream.  I have used it the past two nights and so far I like it.  I will report back after a few more uses.   It is an overnight treatment that gently resurfaces and hydrates your skin with fruit enzymes.   The herbivore line is great because it has no parabans or harmful ingredients in their products.

I stopped in Madewell this week and found the cutest shift dress.   You all know my love for a shift dress:)  This one fits great and I love the green color.  It also comes in navy.  I am wearing the small.  
I also tried on this dress,  I ended up just getting the shift dress but really liked this one as well.

I recently bought this hair oil and I am hooked.  It is a dry oil so it is a little different from regular oil.  You can spray in your hair while it is wet or dry.  I find it makes my hair sleeker and I love the smell.

I ended up buying this ring a few weeks when I saw it was on sale.  I love all Anna Beck Designs.  They are great everyday pieces.  The ring is currently 40% off.

You all know I love my girl GP.  I have really enjoyed reading this book at night.  Not only is it filled with great beauty and skincare stuff but also some great recipes.

Tee shirts and blouses with jeans are my go to daily outfit when I am not in my workout clothes.  I recently found this "whisper tee" and I am loving it.  The fit is great, not too fitted or too loose.  I like that the material is not too thin and has some stretch to it.  I am wearing a size small.
It also comes in several solid colors (gray, black and white). 

Speaking of stripes I just ordered this stripe blouse.  I love the classic black/white stripes.

I am loving these shorter tassel earrings.  

The Lumineers
I have always loved the Lumineers but lately they are all I want to listen to. 
This entire album is amazing.

Chopped White Bean + Radiccho Salad | Booties on Sale


It is no secret round here that I love a salad.  Like seriously some of my favorite meals are salads.  I made this recently and let me tell you the flavor combination was amazing.  Something about the bitterness of the radicchio, the tartness of the apples, the saltiness of the olives and sweetness of the candied walnuts was just the perfect combination.   Such a light and refreshing salad but filling at the same time! 
Enjoy!

Adapted via Food with Friends

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 head radicchio, finely shredded
- 1/2 cup green olives pitted and chopped
- 1 can white beans Cannellini or Great White Northern, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pecorino cheese shredded or thinly sliced
- 1 small green apple julienned
- Candied Walnuts (I used the kind in the bag)

In a bowl whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mayo, garlic and salt and pepper to taste and until dressing is emulsified.   Add radicchio, beans, olives, onion, pecorino, and apples.  Toss all together.

Add the candied walnuts last and mix all together.   Optional add fresh parsley too.

I wanted to share these short booties that are now on sale and under $100.   I wear mine often.  They are so comfortable.  They run TTS and come in 3 colors.  I am wearing the tan nubuck.  You can wear low ankle socks with these although sometimes I don't wear any socks!
