I’ve been feeling really grateful for these long summer days recently. && even though our nights and weekends seem really busy (as they do to everyone I’m sure) the extra daylight always helps.  I think that’s a big reason why I always feel like doing more things in the summertime–opposed to going home and curling up in my pjs like I tend to do in the winter haha.  So I figured I would share some fun date ideas!  None of these are ground breaking ideas but they are all casual, realistic, inexpensive & things that would put me in a happy mood!

1:  FARMERS MARKET STROLL & BRUNCH— I love this idea because it’s something you can do after a Saturday morning workout.  Buy some fresh flowers to take home (I kind of fell in love with these sun flowers for warm days) and then find somewhere to grab food at an outside table!

2:  MIDWEEK MOVIE NIGHT— I love going to the movies on a week night!  It’s the perfect way to break up the week.  We like to catch a 7:30-8:30 showing.  That way we can still get in a workout & dinner after work.  It feels good to disconnect for a couple of hours and then go home and hop in bed.  We always pick a theater where we can get a glass of wine while watching too!

3:  COFFEE SHOP SITTING—  On Saturday/Sunday mornings we love to go to our favorite coffee shop and get our lattes for here instead of to-go.  It’s so nice to just sit down and have a coffee instead of rushing out the door with it.  We people watch or look at silly videos on our phone and just take some time to remember it’s the weekend.

4: NETFLIX & CHILL WITH A DOCUMENTARY— There are so many good options out there that aren’t a tv series or movie.  We love to switch things up with a documentary.  Our favorites recently have been The Defiant Ones (it’s actually on HBO), Making a Murderer & The Queen of Versailles.

5: NEIGHBOORHOOD STROLL AT DUSK— Taking the dog for a walk after dinner is one of my favorite things to do.  I always feel better if I move around after I eat and it can be so relaxing.  We ususlly talk about all the different houses we pass, pointing out things we like or don’t like and sometimes we have a little glass of wine in hand too!

Let me know if you all enjoy any of these same things!  We find that simple date nights are often best!

&& I do want to share a little about my jewelry in these photos with you all too!  I have been a long time fan of Margaret Elizabeth.  Their pieces have a 24k gold overlay and the most gorgeous precious stones.  I think I love the brand so much because the pieces are unique AND high quality.  I wear mine with anything from jeans and a v-neck tee to a lace dress and heels.  The newest addition to their collection?  This three stone Bixby bangle.  I am LOVING mine.

The most chic sneakers! – Nordstrom Anniversary Sale #nsale

So many of the things I loved from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale sold out unbelievably quickly!  BUT, these sneakers are thankfully still in stock and definitely worth a buy.  One of the things I knew I was specifically searching for during the sale was a black pair of kicks.  I wear my white sneakers so much and I had been wishing for a solid black pair for a while.

Reasons why I am OBSESSED with this pair:

–They are low profile. A must for me with sneakers because I think if they come up higher on my ankle it shortens my leg too much and makes them unflattering.

–The suede and leather combo makes them chic.  This means I can wear them with jeans, shorts, skirts & dresses.  An option I don’t feel like I have with Nike running shoes.

–The white sole is significant without being a large platform.

FYI:  I had to return my first pair and go a 1/2 size up from my regular size.

These sneakers also come in a grey and mauve pink.  I saw these in store and the colors are even better in person!  They’re on sale for under $60 right now!!  I wore mine this weekend with cut off shorts and a black tank but I can’t wait to pair them with leather leggings and a over-sized sweater in the Fall.  OMG, sounds so good–eek!

Deep V Tank

Tank [also found here on sale!] || Bralette || Jean Shorts, similar || Sandals [true to size]|| Handbag || Earrings [very lightweight] || Sunglasses

Apparently I am the girl who snaps pics of her outfit at a local, casual resturant.  Yep, that’s me haha!  But it is important to me to show you all outfits that I wear in my real life.  And this is an outfit that I wore out to get some ceviche and a marg with Ethan.  It’s easy and these earrings make it fun, right?!  Those colorful pom poms won me over! Bonus: This deep v tank is on sale now for only $18! Ive worn it lots because you can dress it up or down. [wearing a small in the tank and bralette]

I know we are in the heat of Summer right now, hence my outfit above, ha!  And even though I, for one, am not ready for it to be over–I am still really excited for warm nights on the patio and days spent on the lake–but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t also excited about the idea of new sweaters, boots and moto jackets!  That’s the beauty of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale being right around the corner.  I can spend some time picking out new items for the seasons ahead, buy them on sale and then hop right back into my swimsuit!  And when the cooler temps hit I will have new goodies to pull back out.

Sooooo, don’t forget the sale begins on Thursday and if you are a Nordstrom cardholder then you can shop the sale right away.  Trust me you want to do this because items sell SO quickly.  Apply now so you have access!  And remember, you can always choose to purchase with your Nordstrom card or one of your existing cards.

Read my full post from last year to see what type of card I have.  After having mine for a year now, I can honestly say I would recommend it and I wouldn’t suggest it to you all if I felt otherwise.

I will be covering the sale here with several posts and I will also be sharing tid bits on my Instagram page and story so be sure to stay tuned!
