Weekending in Levi’s

This past Sunday was such a good one so I just have to give you all a run down.  After I finish, you may be asking–ok, why did she feel the need to share that, but bear with me.

We woke up to a rainy, dreary morning and somehow (at the last second) we managed to pull ourselves out of bed just in time to scoot into a spinning class.  We hardly ever, ever workout on a Sunday so afterwards it felt SO good.  Then we headed to grab lattes at our fave coffee shop and then headed back home to clean up.  We ventured back out for lunch [mine consisted of a quesadilla and bloody mary, yum] and then I managed to drag Ethan to do some shopping for the lake house at Home Goods and At Home.  Once our car was totally packed with stuff (did you see our Instastory with the mirror that just barely fit, haha?!) we headed home where I almost immediately fell asleep for a cat nap.  Ethan went to take Remi over to the dog park to run for a bit but they were stopped by a bunch of crazy rain.  Soooo, then they showed back up a bit later with pizza, coke and the idea of a movie night!  We did (what felt like) a zillion loads of laundry, organized the house for a while and then settled in on the couch to watch a Netflix movie.

&& that’s it!  Nothing more special happened and all in all it was just a day of crappy weather in our home city.  BUT it made me so happy.  Sometimes it’s important to let the normal, average, everyday moments make you happy, right?!  I am always one to be planning out things for the next weekend or wishing for a new trip to dream about but I always want to be able to be content with the less exciting moments too.  It’s important to not take any those for granted.  After all, it’s the little things, right?!

Ok–and let’s just discuss the key points you have to know about this outfit for two seconds too..  These jeans are a weekenders DREAM.  I have been searching for a pair just like this for months so I can really thankful I gave these a try.  Howeverrrrrr–take note:  I sized up 2 sizes from my norm to get this fit.  I paired them with a neutral tank and metallic slides.  The tank is only $22 and has such a soft finish on it, almost a sheen. And the slides are under $50, comfy and will go with lots!  [wearing a xs and 7.5, both tts] Lastly, these are the necklaces I am completely obsessing over at the moment.  I ordered this one, fell in love and then immediately ordered this one to layer with it.  Aren’t they fun?!

White Ruffles

I cannot believe it is already May.  I feel like Memorial Day Weekend will be here before we know it and Summer will officially be underway!  We’re heading down to the lake this year to celebrate with friends and I cannot wait–I just need to locate a rainbow unicorn float.  I have my heart set on floating on one this year.  I mean, does that not sound like a good time?!  Add a loaded Corona it’s bound to be a good day.  Have you all ever had those?  Ethan introduced me to them.. You drink the neck of the beer (I like Corona Light) and then you top it off with some Bacardi Limon.  The combination is yum!

Sorry for the ramblings about Summer, ha.  I just love spending time on the water so I get a little carried away!

Let’s chat about this ruffle top–I have been looking for one like this to pair with a denim mini for a while and I think this one is a winner.  I ordered this one and it runs HUGE, so don’t make that mistake and then I gave this one a try and fell in love! I think I will pair it with black skinnies and some fun heels for a date night next weekend and I am sure the look you see here will be repeated asap too!  [wearing an xs]

I hope you all are having a good week so far!  I love how long it’s staying light in the evenings.  Totally helps me get through the week days and makes them SO much more enjoyable.

By The Way.

Revolve is creeping very high up the top of my list of retailers to order from online.  I think their website is good, their selection is so fresh, their shipping is a dream [free & seriously so fast] and I have had positive experiences with their customer service.

However, like any site that carries many brands it can be a little overwhelming to browse.  Before we went on our trip to Miami in January, I came across the brand By The Way. that Revolve carries and I fell in love.  They have some great pieces that are on style and fall at good price points.

My latest purchase?  This denim jacket.  LOVE!  I cannot get enough of the lighter wash and I think the embroidery on the back is subtle but so cute.  [wearing a small]

When we were wandering around Broughton Street in Savannah we ended up in a neat vintage store.  With the help of my bestie, I got three cheeky little pins to add to the front of the jacket.  So when you see me wearing it now, it will have that little addition!

Oh, and if you have a trip soon where you will be walking around and need a casual day time outfit then I highly suggest this skort!  [sized up one, wearing a 2 and it is a bit large on me so if you want a more fitted look I would go with your normal size]

ps–I’m hoping on a plane today!  More on that to come soon… && in the meantime, follow along with me on my IG story.  Happy Friday Eve!

Coffee Dates in Savannah

We were in Savannah a couple weekends ago and snapped these photos while wandering through Forsyth Park.  I will do a full Travel Diary recap of our trip soon, but in the meantime I wanted to share these with you all.

This is the thing I probably look forward to most about traveling–getting up and grabbing coffee and wandering around.

I usually get about half ready (some dry shampoo in my hair but don’t touch up my curls, some powder foundation and eyebrow pencil but don’t fool with the eye makeup) so I feel presentable but haven’t taken forever to get out the door.  Plus, I find getting ready in stages while on vacation helps so you don’t feel like you’ve wasted too long in front of the mirror.

&& I am always sure to pack something comfy to wear, aside from what I brought to sleep in and travel in.  Cue this SUPER soft crewneck.  You need it.  Need it! [wearing a small]

There’s just something about knowing that you’ve got a whole day ahead of you when you’re on a trip that is impossible to beat.  Combine that with a coffee buzz and I am one HAPPY camper.  I try to always make an effort to live in the moment during this time.  It sets the tone for the whole day!

What part of vacation & travel do you look forward to the most?

PS–stay tuned for a fun giveaway on the blog tomorrow!

Classic White Top

Nothing beats a good white top, right?  And they can be pretty hard to find.  So many are way too sheer–or they have a drop shoulder–or they have a rolled up sleeve with button tab mid way up your arm, none of which are my favorite.  But when I got this one in the mail I was pleasantly surprised.  The quality is a thumbs up and the back of the top is a knit material.  Makes it comfortable!  [wearing an xs]

I love that this top can be worn two ways–long or tied up in the front.  With these options it’s perfect for work & play!

My jeans are new.  High-waisted and stretchy, should I say more?!  If you order remember to size up though.  [wearing a 26×30]

Oh, && if you aren’t in the market for a white top–then get this one in one of the other color options.  There are tons to choose from (I want the black next, obviously)!  Petite sizes available too. 😉

You all may have seen me mention the new show we’ve been watching on IG a couple days ago–The Missing.  We just finished Season 1 last night and if like mysteries then it’s a must watch!
