Memorial Day Weekend Recap Part I

Wait, it’s June already?!

Sheesh, May was such a busy month for us!!

We bought and moved into our new home, I turned 28, 

my sweet sister [in law] married her best friend, 

and it feels like about a million other things happened as well!

We had a super busy Memorial Day weekend, 

we left on Thursday to head to Canyon Lake.

That’s where the wedding took place and we were nonstop all weekend!

Friday was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner,

the dinner took place at a beautiful restaurant winery called Oak Valley.

A few days before the rehearsal dinner Kyle and I were asked to do a surprise toast

for the bride and groom.

Guys…public speaking, no no no, NOT my thing.

BUT of course, we were so honored and love those two to death.

So it wasn’t difficult at all to get up there and pour our hearts out.

The entire weekend flew by wayyyyyy too fast, 

Tomorrow I’ll give y’all a glimpse into the wedding day!

Holy crap, it was SO perfect.

Backyard weddings will forever be my fav.

Fredericksburg Weekend Recap

Happy Friday!

This past weekend I got to celebrate my amazing sister in law, Michelle.
I got to spend the weekend with such an incredible group of girls
and we had SO much fun drinking wine and telling stories and just laughing our butts off.

We arrived in canyon lake Friday night and had a relaxing night in,

I got the chance to meet a lot of Michelles’ close friends for the first time.

They are all SO sweet, 

we spent Friday night drinking margs and catching up/getting to know each other.

Saturday was spent frolicking around the Hill Country drinking lots and lots of wine.

I wore this adorable romper with these Steve Madden wedges that i’ve literally been 

eyeing for what seems like FOREVER now. 

SO glad I caved and purchased them.

I don’t think the weather could’ve been any better the entire weekend,
[Shout out to Jesus] After the wineries we headed back to the house to relax before our dinner reservations.

The weekend went by WAY too fast, as it always does.
But of course i’m happy to be back home.
Hope all of you had an easy breezy week and enjoy your weekend!

Laced lbd

Dress: Tobi | Sandals: ShopMCE | Bag: KateSpade

As mentioned on Instagram, this dress is THE perfect combination of cute and comfy!

I am a huge fan of dresses that I can wear and eat a cheeseburger [or two] in, and still feel fabulous.

I am so in love with the lace details on this dress, it adds that perfect amount of flare to this LBD.

Score this dress and tons of other adorable stuff over at www.tobi.com

The bag I’m carrying is vintage Kate Spade, I got it years ago, and honestly forgot I had it.

How cute is it though? As soon as I saw it lying in my closet, I knew I had to carry it with this look!

Ohhhhhh these sandals, these sandals are from ShopMCE.com and they are undeniably adorable. 

However I won’t lie, they do rub your heel on the back, BUT that can be easily fixed.

They also run a little bigger, so if you’re going to order yourself some, order at least 1/2 size down!

I wore this little number to my beautiful sister in laws bridal shower this past weekend.

It was a couples shower and I had the pleasure of being one of the hostesses!

Kyle’s aunt decorated the place and holy guacamole it was STUNNING!

I’ve got a busy next few weeks ahead of me!

Doing my stores closeout sale this weekend, then have a bachelorette party next weekend.

Hope everyone is having a w o n d e r f u l week so far! 

Have no fear, Spring is near

Top: Tobi | Jeans: Amuse Society | Shoes: Nordstrom (similar) | Clutch: Kate Spade

First things first, how ADORABLE is this top?!

I fell in love as soon as I laid eyes on it,

I’ll definitely be wearing it on repeat all Spring/Summer long!

Oh and guess what? It’s only $27 right now and comes in olive as well.

In other news, we celebrated my sweet husbands birthday this weekend. 

He turned the big 2-8, and I seriously think he gets better looking every day…

His nana cooked us all a delicious meal and then we went to a little bar in 

North Texas to continue the celebration!

He has been working his butt off lately, and I am seriously SO thankful he’s mine.

We’ve been house hunting like crazy and have already put 4 offers in on houses,

but it just hasn’t worked out yet. Which is fine, because I know God has a perfect plan for us.

But sheesh we are just SO ready to be settled in somewhere. 

Just working on being patient and knowing it will happen when it’s meant too!

We’re heading to the rodeo tonight with some friends to see Sam Hunt,

So I’ll be back here tomorrow with a full report on how the concert was, 

what outfit I wore, 

and how many corn dogs I ate!

Stay tuned lovers,
