Obsessed

Totally obsessed with the new Nike + Sacai  collaboration

 I mean, I don't know if I should work out or go out!!

Obsessed with these 2 nail colors

Essie Merino Cool

Essie Full Steam Ahead

Obsessed with this chandelier

In my mind this is already hanging in my house.

Obsessed with this cover-up

along with the rest of the internet






Obsessed with this mask

your face will feel amazing





Obsessed with this book

and then was so excited to read this!!






Obsessed with these pants

and this top

they just look so damn comfortable





finally, obsessed with this show

now the hubs and I are not that far along but here are my thoughts

*he is innocent
*the police force is very corrupt
*I cannot believe this was not a mistrial
*people will do just about anything if they are on the hook for 36million



now I might just retract all of this after I watch a few more episodes.

Summer's End

It may officially be summer for another month, but mentally I am transitioning into fall.  I am not completely ready to give up lazy summer mornings, afternoons at the pool, and evenings on my porch sipping cocktails but time marches on and fall is right around the corner.

A few things that I am looking forward to this fall

the return of the pumpkin spice latte

chunky sweaters

oversized plaid scarves

warm soup on a chilly night, cant wait to try this recipe

gorgeous fall flowers for my table

a trip to a few wineries in our own backyard

fall nail polish

getting my favorite red wine out of the cellar

and firing up our patio table.


Ready or not, it's coming!!

Getting Warmer

Think I have just about everything I need for next week!

swimsuit, cover up

Perfect Fall Finds

The temperatures this weekend are going to be in the high 70's, so excited!  After a hot summer I am definitely ready for some cooler weather and warmer clothes.  This upcoming weekend is our annual outdoor art fair and I am ready to dress up in my favorite fall pieces.

I am still very much in love with the cranberry colored jeans, and lucky for me they are easy to find.  I saw the cutest pair in the window at Express.  I have not stepped foot in this store in ages but I just had to, I thought the jeans were perfect and exactly what I was looking for... 

I found what I think to be the perfect taupe/cream top to compliment cranberry jeans.  

Gotta warp it all up in a cozy sweater.  Mine is on it's way...

Maybe I can break in my new boots...

Saturday mornings the hubs and I like to go out for brunch and coffee sans kiddos.  Pumpkin pie french toast would be the brunch to end all brunches!

Of course the pumpkin spice latte made it's debut this week.  Perfect for sipping as I stroll through the art fair...

Swag Bags

 Back in April I co-hosted a bridal shower for my cousin, who was just married this past Saturday, and had the perfect goody bag thanks to pinterest.  The second my mom asked if I would help with the shower I immediately took charge of the goody bags, a wine carrier that was filled with krispy cream donuts and milk.  The perfect gift for guests as they were leaving the party...  

here is how my goody bags turned out...

I had so much fun putting together these goody bags that I volunteered to do the same for my soon to be sister in law.  I am hosting, along with my mother in law and sisters in law, a bridal luncheon next Friday, but since the wedding is in Vail I knew I could not do a milk and donuts goody bag, I needed something that would travel well.  After obsessing over it for weeks I think I came up with something that is so fun and everyone will love all the goodies...

In each goody bag is a bottle of Essie "happily ever after"...

a mini bottle of polish remover...

a nail file...

and a package of cotton pads...

I love putting together a little gift that says "thanks for coming."
