Chambray & White

Loft shirt, Topshop skirt, Metallic pumps, Mint/Blue tote bag, J.Crew Factory necklace, Fossil watch

The golden hour is my favorite time of the day. With the warm glittering sun shining all around, everything looks ethereal. We decided to take a stroll before meeting my mom for dinner on Friday evening. As always, I opted for a twirly skirt, metallic pumps, and my chambray shirt. I loved the combination, although now that I look at these photos, I'm wondering why I didn't notice how bunched up my shirt was around my waist! I'm telling you that blogging has made me realize how careless I can be when getting dressed and running out the door. No matter, I still felt fabulous that evening. I put my phone away, stopped thinking so much, and enjoyed the last breath of sun with my love.

Hope you had a great weekend!

It's Always Date Night

Express top

Target heels, love these and these

Banana Republic clutch, obsessed with this one

Earrings: Baublebar x Anthropologie

Hey ladies, these are just a couple quick snaps that hubby took of me while we were heading out to dinner last Friday. We often joke that every night is date night because we don't have kids yet. Sometimes we'll hit up a familiar spot, and sometimes we will venture out of town to try something new (especially along the coast. Any excuse to be by the ocean). On this night, I paired leopard and stripes which is one of my favorite combinations. I also can't get over how beautiful and sparkly these Baublebar x Anthropologie earrings are! Easily my favorite piece of jewelry - at the moment.

Before I get into the awesomeness that was Memorial Day weekend, let me first preface this by admitting that photographing myself in a bathing suit scared the living daylights out of me. Yes, even with a pretty white cover-up that is only slightly sheer, I was still nervous about posting this. Even after hubby reassured me a hundred times that it was "cute" and "no big deal", I still worried. I'm type A, that's what I do. Hopefully everyone can overlook my awkward intro because I really did wear this exact look yesterday and I loved it! I spied this Old Navy bathing beauty on Instagram and literally dropped everything I was doing to go grab one for myself. I love it (and recommend it) for several reasons: It's oversized, and therefore very comfortable for the poolside or beach. It's white, although I did see it in teal as well. It has the cutest little pom poms. It also was very inexpensive :) Gotta love Old Navy. They have been killing it lately! 

Oh and the weekend was awesome as I previously stated. It was a bit gloomy in the mornings, but otherwise very pretty weather. I went to some local wineries for my friend's belated birthday celebration. I go to our wineries too often, I'm thinking people are starting to wonder. I just so happen to enjoy wine. And, hubby and I are wine club members at Miramonte, so it's very convenient (read: cheap). We also did a lot of lounging at home, followed by pool time. 

How was your weekend?
