{Our} Weekend

 

Happy Happy Tuesday!!!

 

I am a day behind posting about our weekend, but in my defense I got soooooo

wrapped up on Sunday looking at furniture online.

 

I am officially a Craigslist junkie....

 

Our weekend was very fun and very relaxed, a nice change from how crazy our lives have been the past couple of weeks!

 

Friday we got to enjoy a night with friends we had not seen in a while!

 

It was so great to catch up with them!

 

This was the patio we enjoyed on Friday night!

The band was SO good!

 

Saturday we were up at 630am!

Z had a golf tournament and if he is up early that means I am too!

Can anyone else not sleep when your spouse is gone?!?!

 

I got to spend the day with my friend Whitney, who I had not seen or hung out with in forever! We had so much fun chatting, shopping, eating and then me realizing I had spent too much money!

 

After shopping I spent the day outside with my puppies enjoying the sun!

(Ace's 2nd favorite thing to do besides eat...lay out)

(My new Texas necklace!! I was so excited to find this!)

 

Sunday after church Z and I had a very busy Sunday Funday!

After more shopping, more eating and dragging Z to a ton of furniture stores,

we went to the Main Street Arts Festival in Fort Worth.

 

The festival always brings very good people watching!

(This was my favorite piece of art!)

 

And like I said I spent the rest of my Sunday glued to Craigslist!

 

How was your weekend?

Did anyone else get to enjoy the beautiful weather on Saturday?

The {Red} Dress Boutique

 

I know that we all follow all of the super cute boutiques on Facebook, and all

of our wallets pay for it!

 

I am no exception to the rule..I am pretty sure following The Red Dress Boutique has not

helped with my impulse shopping since they always have the cutest clothes!

 

I was so very lucky to catch a status on Facebook from The Red Dress Boutique, asking any bloggers out there to email them if they would like to work together!

 

What a better collaboration...I just happen to LOVE all of their clothes!

 

After getting everything set up, I came home one day to the greatest fun mail ever!

 

 

Cutest packaging ever! I love their sticker!

(Isn't my Mommy so cute! The dress was a little big for me so I enlisted some help!)

 

I really love all three pieces that were sent to me! It is all stuff that I would have bought for myself and some things that I have been wanting.

 

Everything is very well made and definitely clothes that I will wear for a while!

{Beauty} Recommendations....Needed

 

Happy HAPPY Wednesday!

 

It is OFFICIALLY winter in Tejas with snow and sleet yesterday, I am predicting

summer to be only a few 2 weeks away. (that is EXACTLY how Texas weather works..very frustrating trying to plan outfits!)

 

So since we (and by we I mean I somehow got myself into this mess) decided that we would start off 2013 with a no purchase/no go out January, I am looking for new ways

to stay beautiful and glowing at home.

 

What are your at home beauty must haves/secrets??

I know they are secrets but just share them with me and I promise not to tell anyone!

 

Here are some of my must haves:

These are the only two products I have used from this line, however they are both AMAZING and I am sure all of their other hair products are just as good! I wrote here why I loved the Macadamia line so much and it makes my hair feel like I just had a great salon wash!

 

(via)

 

This is definitely an oldie but a goodie, but I love Bath & Body Works lotion. I love all of their smells and the way it makes my skin feel after applying.

 

(via)

 

I really like St. Ives Apricot Scrub because it helps my skin feel smooth and get any dead skin that my loofah misses. I actually need some more of this pronto to get rid of the last remnants of my spray tan....

 

So here are my 3 favorite at home beauty items....spill the beans, what are yours?

PS. This whole no shopping thing has been very very very difficult - I follow way to many boutiques on Facebook like this one, this one and this one. And I may have bought a really cute scarf from one of Z's co-worker's wife who has a super cute kids boutique here....but thats it!

 



My {Current} Obsession



I know I am probably late getting on this band wagon but I have found a lot of good stuff super cheap on Etsy!!

I have been searching for something to go above Z and my bed...I finally found it! For an 18 inch metal 3 letter monogram its only $38 here  - I am ordering it soon and can not wait to finally show you guys our finished room!

I love love love cute little kitchen accessories! These are absolutely perfect to keep your cupcake cups together! They can be purchased here

I am absolutely in love with this bathing suit top!! We are going to the beach the first of August and I am definitely going to snag this to wear! I think it is too cute not to buy!! This cute bikini top can be purchased here

This super cute ruffled throw can be purchased here - I want this in a full comforter for mine and Z's bed! I just love all of the ruffles. This shop also has pillows!
