happy friday oops, saturday!! a few weeks ago i had the amazing pleasure of a weekend getaway at Freshfields Village with some of my fave bloggin babes. ok, so honestly, i was most excited for the big bed and room service, but that's just because i share a bed with 3 kiddos and a giant husband, so any promise of a good night sleep in a quiet room with clean sheets sounds like heaven to me. literally, i walked into a rustic lodge/dream cabin and i cannot believe i didn't take a single picture of Andell Inn's amazing lobby. fur throws, tufted couches, prince edwards chairs and even a fireplace, i literally need this place to be my home. first stop was a little pamper sesh at urban nirvana and SHOCKER! i was already running late. in case you didn't know this about me, i tend to run on "tara time" aka 10 minutes late means i'm technically early so i try to trick myself and write my appointments down 30 minutes earlier than the actual schedule time, but i still struggle. and then of course, i was hangin with Chlo, who runs on an even later time schedule than me, so together we basically miss everything. i got this amazing side braid/fish tail and a serious makeover on my face. i really need someone to do this to my face everyday, i don't know how they make me look so glam. off to the important stuff, Shopping!! it was so fun to get in a little girl time and retail therapy and Maverick was loving all the attention. i, being the diva that i am, ran back to my room for a quick outfit change before we finished out the night. i had planned on changing earlier, but like i said, i was running late and i really didn't want to take this maxi off because it's basically pjs its so comfortable. ok, speaking of pjs, how adorable is Maverick in his monkey jammies?? this whole little setup it so adorable and his face is EVERYTHING! he was in love with Bethany aka B Soup, i should've recorded their little flirt session.
we ended the night with an ice cream social, and being the yank that i am, i had to have my root bear float! actually we call it soda, but the southerners consider soda pop so it's all very confusing. you know we had to arrange our ice cream just right for that perfect insta-pic ;) hubby finally made it and we enjoyed our big ole quiet room and an amazing breakfast in bed. i think i ate every carb known to man. i took advantage of the extra hands and spent the afternoon hitting up the shops that i missed the night before and grabbed a few goodies for the boys from Wonder Works. it was such a great weekend. special thanks to Andell Inn and Freshfields Village for having us!! i hope you all have a wonderful 3 day weekend!!!
Hello Fall!! all the roads are closed and most of Charleston is closed for business, but its finally cool enough to wear layers without melting, soo, I'll take my victories where I can get em. Especially since the heat will undoubtedly be back as soon as the water dries up. My layers, however, aren't going anywhere. I just wanna wear all the sweaters and all the blazers and all the leather and plaid I can find, what about y'all? Ok, so its not quite sweater weather, but its definitely t-shirt and jeans weather. But, I mean, isn't everyday? If you happen to run in to me at the grocery store or carpool pick up line, you know, I love a good t-shirt and jeans combo, and graphics are my fave. I paired this floral print with a great pair of skinnies and a bf blazer. I love the pop of pink when u flip the cuff of this jacket! And of course, it matched my tee and purse, oh so perfectly! These red sandals were a fun addition for an extra pop of color and because, my general rule is, if leopard doesn't work, red will!! I hope you all are staying safe and dry!! Have a great week!
i know, i know, i've been super lazy about posting lately. well, more crazy than lazy, but that's probably every moms life. lincoln is in the full throws of the terrible twos and maverick is about as big of an attention whore as his momma, so needless to say, between mothering/smothering/screaming at my 3 rugrats and trying (not so effectively) to keep an organized household. the blog has been coming second fiddle. i know i keep promising i will get the hang of this 3 kids mad house and blog on the reg, but it seems to be getting harder at the moment. i have just gone on a bit of a fall shopping splurge/spree so i am determined to shoot next week and get you guys some fresh layered goodness. today's look is pretty indicative of my daily uniform as of late. sadly my heels aren't getting much play these days, but if a girls gotta wear sneakers, they really don't get much more fabulous than python high top chucks, am i right?? i have seriously been obsessing over these bad boys since the moment they arrived in the mail, i mean, how could i not? do you know both beyonce and kylie jenner have a pair? in my best r.zoe, you guys "i die" literally, dead, on the ground, died. lol, ok, its not really that dramatic, but the creator of these guys is a pretty awesome chick, so i get a little excited by all the amazing press she's getting and it makes me feel pretty cool to be in the company of such epicness. so, yes, i am actually wearing more than just sneakers, but i get a little distracted by their beauty. i think i have officially bought every tee old navy has to offer at the moment, and this one is definitely one of my faves. the tunic fit is great for tucking, knotting, or just letting it hang out and black/white stripes are always a winner in my book. i'm still tying on my denim jacket every chance i can get, but my new favorite tie on is the bandana! i can't get enough, it's a bit of an addiction. i have this one in both red and navy, and i'm still on the hunt for black and white and maybe a gray. it might be my favorite accessory trend of the season. what have y'all been loving for fall??
