{REBECCA TAYLOR OMBRE SHIRTDRESS}

I tried on the shirt version of this over the weekend and loved it.  I almost bought it but decided I wanted to hold out for the dress version.  It is gorgeous.

 {ENZO KATIRA SANDAL}

I picked these up over the weekend at the Nordstrom sale.  They are 40% right now and such a steal.  I love them, they look cute with everything. I wore them all weekend!   My mom got the black version and they are equally as cute.  Mom paired hers with skinny jeans and I wore mine with a maxi dress very versatile.

{OLD NAVY MATERNITY SHORTS}

In my search for a few cute pairs of maternity shorts, I found most are heinous.  What pregnant woman wants to wear knee length shorts??  So unflattering.  I wanted shorts that looked like regular shorts not maternity ones.  I am not a big Old Navy shopper but my sister raved about their skinny jeans so I figured I would give the shorts a shot.  They were $25 and worth every penny.  They look like expensive versions I tried on and so comfortable.  They do run on the small size so order up a size.

{BALENCIAGA FLORABOTANICA}

I finally bought some new perfume.  I swear I only buy new perfume every 3 years!  I debate forever like it is such a huge commitment.  This is the best perfume I have smelled in a long time.  It is floral and so fresh.  Obsessed with it.  Makes me happy everytime I spray it on!

{ASOS SWING DRESS}

Love the easy loose fit of this dress.  The pink color is amazing but the black is so classic.  Ending today you can get 20% your purchase with code TAKE20.

{RAG AND BONE NEWBURY BOOTIES IN GRAY}

I have wanted these booties for 2 years now.  I have stalked them waiting for them to go on sale.  Rag and Bone shoes rarely go on sale.  I debated long and hard between the gray or black but my mom talked me into the gray- she ordered them too:)   It also sealed the deal that Gwyneth had the gray version as well.  It may seem weird to buy booties in the summer but that is the time to stock up for Fall while they are on sale.  The black version is onsale HERE– I really like them too.

DVF AINIA DRESS

This dress reminds me a little of the popular Heidi Merrick Dress from last season that I never got my hands on.  Love the navy/pink combo.  Would be super versatile and it is less than the HM version.

MINNETONKA MOCCASINS

Sterling’s Minnetonkas that we ordered for fall just came and I could not be more obsessed.   I mean how freaking cute are these for little boys?  They also have a cute girls selection and they are affordable compared to other kids shoes. I found mine here🙂

TRADER JOE’S HERB POPCORN

Thanks to my friend Katie I demolished half a bag of this yesterday while shopping at TJ.  She recommended I try it and I loved it (so did Sterling).  It is full of flavor and a great snack!

Best part is a bag is only $1.99.

METALLIC SUBWAY TILE

Adore this tile.

PRAYER

We have really been working with Sterling trying to teach him to say his prayers at night before bed and before we eat.  Love this sweet simple prayer for before meals.



ABSTRACT ART BY SARAH SWANSON
I am so excited I won this beauty by Sarah Swanson over at Eileen’s blog this week. If you have not checked out Sarah’s Etsy site you must. All her abstract paintings are only $10. Such a steal for beautiful artwork. I love the idea of grouping several of these together on a wall to make a statement. I am going to order a few more now that I own one to hang over my desk. Hard part will be narrowing down which other ones I want!

PHILLIP LIM 3.1 SLEEVELESS TANK DRESS
Man do I love Phillip Lim. This dress is perfection in my book. The perfect color and fit. I need this baby for summer.



YELLOW, AQUA, AND BROWN COLOR COMBO
I would never think to pair these 3 colors together but I am digging it in a major way.


OLD NAVY SWIMWEAR
I was shocked when I saw these bathing suits were from Old Navy. Normally I never have luck at Old Navy but these swim suits are so cute and the prices are even better! A tript to Old Navy may be in my future!




PARTIDA ANEJO TEQUILA
I admit it, I am a true tequila lover. I know most of you are cringing picturing yourself taking a shot of rank cheap tequila and wanting to vomit right now. But trust me, if you buy good tequila you will love it too. This is the best tequila I have ever had, hands down. It is so smooth with no after taste or burn. I tried it first during a trip to NYC a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. Sadly, they don’t sell this tasty gem in North or South Carolina. My sister just traveled to PA last week for work and brought down a bottle this weekend that we enjoyed. Reminded me how good the stuff is. Good tequila is made to be served room temperature straight up and sipped slowly. If you ever come across this tequila I highly recommend you buy some, it is amazing.

You would think I would start to run out of obsessions each week, but that is not the case. There is always something new I am loving!

Braided Hair
Lately I have been wearing my hair in a side braid. It is great way to deal with dirty hair, because lets face it I don’t wash my hair everyday. My hubby loves it probably because I look like a 16 year old but I don’t care its the perfect do for the summer! My inspiration, the gorgeous Rebecca Romain.

my take on it

Mary McDonald
Is anybody else obsessed with Million Decorators? It is my favorite show on TV right now. I really love every single decorator on the show, but I especially love Mary. She is fabulous and her designs are always something I would want in my house.

A few of my favorite Mary designs

Caftans
I don’t own one of these beauties yet but I am hoping to get one during a summer sale. I love the effortless look of them. They are great for a beach cover-up or to wear out running errands.

Tibi and Raquel Allegra Caftans

Skinny Cow Heavenly Crisps
These wafer bars are so tasty. They are the perfect sweet treat after a meal. They only have 110 calories so you don’t have to feel too guilty about eating them. I love the PB flavor.

Titos Vodka
If I am not drinking wine, I am usually drinking vodka. I like my vodka straight up with lemon and maybe a splash of seltzer. Since I really don’t like mixers in my vodka, I prefer good quality vodka. I used to be a Grey Goose kind of girl until I heard about Titos. We did a blind taste test with Titos and Grey Goose and we all choose Titos. It is the smoothest vodka ever. A half gallon is only $29.95, so it is cheaper than Gray Goose and Ketel One too. I highly recommend this if you like vodka.
