Finally... a relaxing weekend!

Can it be true? Did I actually have a relaxing weekend for the first time in months....?!YES! Tis true! And it felt sooooooo good :-D I started off Friday with a Skinny Caramel Latte and H and I went out for Happy Hour after work. I enjoyed a 1/2 price sangria and H enjoyed 1/2 price craft beer while we munched on wings and brick fired pizza. YUM! ~ Painted my nails with OPI's Jade is the New Black ~ Popped open a bottle of Sequin white wine... soooo good! Love that it's delicately bubbled...

Summer Bucket List Recap

As much as it saddens me to admit it... summer is over *tear* It always goes so fast, and I didn't even have a chance to get to all of the things on my summer bucket list :( 1. As many pool parties and BBQ's as the weekends can possibly squeeze in Lots of sunny days in the pool and yummy goodness from the grill was had. I mean look at those troopers grilling even in the downpouring rain? Classic! 2. Lots of nights by the fire pit Total fail... I'd rather go for a night swim in...

Turquoise Kate Spade Sparkliness

I took advantage of the Surprise Kate Spade Sale last week and not only do I love Kate Spade for the beautiful handbags and jewelry, but I'm always so impressed with how quick their shipping is! I placed my order Wednesday night, it shipped Thursday, and arrived Monday. Garden Grove Hinge Bangle So pretty! Yet another great Kate Spade find... and a big FYI...I never pay full price. All my KS purchases are from their many sales or from the outlet. I just sign up...

Happy 3rd Day of Fall

It's no secret that I refuse to embrace all things fall until it's officially fall. Maybe it's because I love summer so much, but I think it's more that I grew up in CT and to me fall meant winter was coming *shudder*. Buuuuuut that doesn't mean I don't love fall and all the amazingness that comes with it. Plus, a lot of people are under the impression that we don't get "seasons" in Florida, but now that I've lived here for a few years I definitely see the difference in the seasons here as well,...

Fabulicious Weekend Shenanigans

What an incredibly fabulicious weekend! I know I keep saying I hope to finally relax the following weekend, but I couldn't pass up a chance to meet Teresa from RHONJ and H and I knew we could not miss out on our friend's b-day celebration this weekend. However, we did not go bar hopping with everyone later in the night. We've been really good about not over committing so we can find some time to relax and our wallets have been thanking us :) But I have promised myself that I will without a doubt...

Fabulicious Weekend

Happy Friday! All I'm asking for this weekend is to sleep in, get in some pool time, and some adult beverages... preferably in the pool.  Tomorrow, I get to meet this fabulous spitfire: ...love her or hate her... you have to admit she's fabulous! And she has the most hilarious daughter ever to grace reality tv: I wish Milania was going to be at the signing...   The feeling is definitely mutual, cheers to Frida...

Organizing my make up

Thankfully, our master bathroom has two separate sinks. H absolutely loves having his own sink area where my stuff can't migrate across... which we all know it totally would have. Needless to say his sink area has minimal clutter and mine was a disaster area. I knew I wanted to get a set of acrylic makeup organizer drawers, and the set I was lusting after was well over $100.... not cool. But then Katie told me she gets her makeup drawers from Muji and I found a great 5 drawer...

Preserving my bouquet

My wedding was 3 years and 3 months ago and I had yet to do anything with my dried out wedding bouquet. Slacking at it's finest... and let's not talk about how I still haven't gotten my wedding gown cleaned... yipes! But I'm super proud of myself for preserving it since the wedding admist a huge move from Connecticut to Florida and then another move into our house a year later. I always envisioned displaying my bouquet in a shadow box, but I just never took the initiative to go out and purchase...

Weekend Pool & BBQ Shenanigans

I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever have a quiet weekend, not that I'm complaining about all the fun, but this girl could use a well-needed restful weekend and I'm hoping to get just that this coming weekend :) Friday, H and I had a date night. We had some beers, bruschetta YUM, and New York style pizza with prosciutto and fresh garlic. Afterwards, we did some shopping for the house and picked up some fall decor and some more things for our master bedroom makeover. Then we went for a night swim...

Crossing Over...

I'm not gonna lie.... I've never really been a fan of country music. I actually remember making fun of some of the girls I went to high school with who LOVED country music and thought they were oh so cool in their cowboy hats. Ughhh so ashamed of being that girl and would now join in with them :) Country Girl (Shake it For Me) by Luke Bryan on Grooveshark But I've been bitten by the bug that is named Luke Bryan.... bit hard! It all started with my love of Carrie Underwood so I made a Carrie pandora...

Benefit's They're Real!

I was a huge fan of Maybelline's Falsies for the past couple of years, but was completely WOWED by Benefit's They're Real mascara. I got my first tube last year around the holidays, and was excited that it was a part of Sephora's birthday gift this year. I have almost non-existent eye lashes (not sure why, considering my brother has such long lashes... waisted on a boy!) and love how dramatic this makes my lashes. They're thicker, longer, and darker with this mascara without...
