We were in Washington, DC for the long weekend and had such a good few days!  I have several outfit posts to share with you all this week!

On Saturday we strolled around some before lunch and saw the monuments.  In my book there’s nothing better than a long weekend without a schedule & this one was just that.  We were realllly hot [the temps were up there] but we were also really happy to just be enjoying the city together.  It was a relief to duck into the shade and snap these pics!

I purchased a few things before our trip and I was so happy to have them! You know how sometimes before you go on a trip you do some internet searching and come up with all the wrong things?  Well, thankfully I hit the nail on the head with these!  I bought this little Tory Burch cross-body bag and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.  It’s very structured.  This was a must because I knew I wanted a bag that I wouldn’t have to worry about loosing its shape as I packed it in my carryon or carried it on my hip during the day.  It has a thin pocket on the outside of the front that is perfect for sticking my phone into and the cross-body strap is adjustable so I could shorten it up to where I like it.  The price point is surprisingly good & it also comes in white, tan & red!  I thought these studded Sam Edelman sandals would go well with looks from day to night and they were actually comfy to walk in too.  They are 30% off right now and come in three other cute colors to boot!  (I almost went with the nude option..)  These sunnies are so fun right–they’re a matte finish and a cute, cute shape & only $50!  This hat [& some dry shampoo-this one is the BEST, I’m completely hooked] was a lifesaver, seriously!  I wore it everyday!  Oh & lastly–this black top is a great, easy to throw on staple for your closet [also on sale!  40% off!].

Ok–& the clothes are good and all, but the deets I have to share on the food are even better.  We stopped into GCDC for lunch and we were so happy we did!  I had the BEST sandwich I’ve ever ordered.  Their specialties are grilled cheese and mine had prosciutto, dates & goat cheese! So, so yummy!

Stay tuned for some additional travel looks later this week!  How was your long weekend?  I will say that I am feeling a little left out on the family BBQ and pool time front–maybe we can squeeze some of that in next weekend!

High-Lo Tee

I found this little high-lo tee from Express last week and I am in love!  I’m always a fan of anything that is soft knit, yet has a good shape to it and this one definitely fits the bill!  I have it paired here with my new FAVORITE white shorts and these majorly comfy Marc Fisher flatforms (that I can’t stop wearing).  But seriously–you all know how hard it is to find the perfect pair of white shorts, right?  I usually run into pairs that have a thick pocket outline that stands out [eye roll] or a bulky button that makes shirts lay wrong [eye roll] or are sheer and a little too risqué in the back [double eye roll].  But, I’m happy to say that this pair doesn’t have any of those unwanted qualities!  I’m for sure that I’ll be wearing them all summer.. starting with this coming weekend!

Speaking of–y’all we’re inching closer & closer to the long weekend.  Ahhhh, Memorial Day Weekend here we come!  Thank gosh!  Who has fun plans to kick off the summer?  We leave for DC on Friday and I am so ready!  ..Well not really, because I haven’t packed a thing BUT tonight me and the Housewives on my DVR are tackling laundry and then tomorrow night I’ll get all my ducks in a row and be ready to head out and have a cocktail come 5 o’clock on Friday!  🙂  Here are the new goodies that I plan on packing to take with me.  SIDE NOTE:  lots are on sale as of today [40%!] so shop them fast!  Most are cute basics that you can mix and match and do a lot with!
