Must have Mondays

{denim shirt dress + nude sandals & blue polish = a perfect summer uniform}

{peach tea from a plantation in Louisiana – makes for a refreshing ice version on hot days}

Happy Monday! I started a new job/career path a couple weeks ago that I’m currently loving, and my brothers getting married Saturday. So my week is beyond insanely busy. Trying to plan out my days, plus packing, plus juggling everything that is a wedding makes for a very, very overwhelmed person. Hope your week is less busy but just as exciting. xxxooo

Get the Look

I’m a bit afraid of color, always leaning towards the neutral side of the color wheel. My closet consists of mainly blacks, whites, and grays. I love doing “pops” of color (and I truly mean a “pop”) like this outfit above. Keeping the top half simple and letting the yellow jeans be the main focal point with the accessories blending in with flesh tones.Happy Friday! xxxooo

DIY Greeting Cards

{supplies: a ruler, pencil, eraser, glitter, glue, and cardstock paper}

{nail polish is an easy way  to add some special touches of design}

I’m not sure why it took me this long to think about making my own greeting cards. But it makes perfect sense and it saves about $4 for every card I’d normally buy. For birthdays or thank you cards you can design them ahead of time and keep them stored. Plus the supplies are normally found around the house with a little unexpected surprises – like nail polishes, lipsticks, sprinkle, sand – nothing is off limits. Now there are no excuses for never sending a thank you note (which I’m a big proponent of).

Must have Mondays

{hair inspiration – a knotted ponytail}

{half a dozen of freshly shucked oysters from a local favorite}

 

{home decor inspiration – pink wallpaper with a claw tub}

{the most comfortable – and chic – satin PJ set}

{watermelon balsamic bites – want to recreate this with salmon and soy sauce}

With summer finally here, it only feels appropriate enough to have spent the entire weekend outside by the pool. It being a consistent 85* outside all weekend long the days were cooled off by dipping into the pool, while Saturday night was cooled off by enjoying a comedy show and Sunday evening with happy hour cocktails and ceviche. Hope y’all had a good weekend! xxxooo
