Scenes From Our Weekend

Dec 19, 2016

Hard to believe Christmas is next weekend!  

Friday morning we headed to Frances Moon’s Christmas program.  The 2 year old class did a re enactment of the nativity. I about cried when I saw her walk out as Mary.  It was the sweetest thing ever.  Now she keeps telling me Jesus is her baby:)

I did a gold glitter nail for the holidays and I am loving it.  Several of you asked the color and I don’t know the name it was a gel color!

We made these Grinch Santa hats for Sterling’s school party.  They turned out so cute.

Friday’s outfit.  This sweater coat has been on repeat lately and it is now reduced.

Lip color is Milky Blueberry it is my favorite shade this winter.

Turtleneck | Sweater (on sale) | Lipstick | Necklace

Saturday I headed out to Kiawah for our annual girl’s Christmas dinner!  Our first stop is always the wine shop at Freshfields. We love to taste the wine and enjoy a cheese platter!

Then we had dinner at Jasmine Porch.  I gotta say as much as I love the Sanctuary the food was not awesome here.

Love these girls so much.  They mean the world to me.

I wore this velvet tee during the day with flats and fun earrings and then dressed it up that night with a statement necklace and heels.   

Velvet Tee (same look for less) | Jeans | Heels | Flats

Earrings | Necklace | Clutch

Sunday we wrapped gifts and watched Christmas movies!

Wrapping paper is from Target, they had some really cute rolls this year.

Then we baked Oreo brownies.  I make these every year around Christmas and they are so good!  I usually make two batches one with double stuffed Oreos and the other with the red Oreos. 

My favorite high waisted jeans are now 50% off and under $100! My ring is only $32.

We ended the weekend with my favorite detox mask and it is currently on sale!  Makes a greta gift or stocking stuffer for the Beauty lover:)

    I was going to say coral or mint for the colored jeans. I've gotten some pink ones, but they aren't quite coral. I still haven't found any mint ones that I have liked and not had to pay a fortune for. You look sexzy in your DVF dress! Glad you had a good weekend!

  2. Piperlime for the jeans! Happy Birthday Week!

  3. Kyle says:

    Happy B-day week! Sounds like I love the week leading up to my b-day, as much as you do! : ) I saw Current Elliott made some great colored denim, but it was on the pricey side. I got a cute pair of skinny red jeans at Zara last year and they fit really well. I think they were only $40! I bet they did pastels there this season. J.Crew has my favorite pair right now in festival green!

  4. Sarah says:

    I just picked up a pair of the AG Stevies in blue at Anthropologie.

  5. cute bags! I also love your snakeskin mirror, did I miss this purchase girl? I'm sure y'all had a blast in Charleston this weekend. Must get my butt down there asap! And Sterling is gorgeous as always. His hair and those eyelashes are just too much! xoxox

  6. Carroll says:

    Zara has great fitting mint pair this year. Also, the gap has some great ones too. Got a Kelly green slightly cropped pair there recently.

  7. Looks like a fabulous weekend! I LOVE that snakeskin mirror. It's awesome.

  8. Christina says:

    The nachos. We need to talk about the nachos. I'm excited for your recipe post. Do you ever buy wine from TJ's? I know it's kinda out of your way, but the guys are SO SO helpful and knowledgeable and they definitely have very affordable wine. No joke, if you go in often they will start to remember what you like and make recs based off of that. I'm serious!! I never even have to think about what I want there! I'm like "Ok, guys, pick one out."

  9. So 1.) You have the best body ever! 2.) Your little one is too cute for words 3.) Those nachos make my mouth water!! 🙂

    Have a great day, doll!

  10. Love that DVF dress! I know you tall but try F21 if your a little nervous about the jeans. They are like $20 bucks!

  11. Love the DVF dress! It looks great on you! Can't wait for the shrimp nachos recipe!! I love our local wine stores too! They are really good at recommendations! I would say JCrew or Gap for colored jeans. Sterling is just adorable!! And Happy Birthday week!! Jonah's 6th birthday is on Wed so we are kicking off the week long celebration today as well!!

  12. I found the cutest, well fitting jeans at express for $80 and they were buy one get one 50 % off!

    Happy Birthday week!

  13. Love your weekend pics – I totally believe in celebrating birthday weeks as well!

  14. LOVE your dress!! And Happy Birthday Week…I love the colored denim!

  15. Joes Jeans has a million colors. Nordstrom or Zappos sells them.

    I wore a similar striped skirt Saturday night! Mine was BCBG.

  16. I didn't want to spend a fortune so I found a great pair at The Gap in fushia. I don't think they come in mint or coral though. Love the dress!

  17. Paige says:

    You should check out Urban Outfitters for colored jeans!! Great color selection for a great price!!
    Can't wait for the shrimp tacos recipe- looks delish!!

  18. Ditto on Urban Outfitters! I got a fabulous mint pair. They're even more comfortable than my JBrand.

  19. I've seen them at TJ Maxx and Marshalls as well as Target..I'm thinking of grabbing a cute cheap pair too:)

  20. Loved seeing you on Friday at novel.!!! So fun to catch up with you in person and so glad you are loving your little notepad, mini bag and pen combo!!!! I have the neon coral colored jeans and they are fab!! J. Crew is where I found them and have been very happy with the fit! I have another pair of turquoise jeans from urban outfitters that are super comfy but sit a little higher on the waist. Loving those mint green ones!!!! Oh and the nachos…can't wait to find out more!

  22. Andrea says:

    What a great weekend and Happy Birthday week!! I agree, it isn't a one day celebration but a whole week!!

  23. Kyle says:

    One more idea…try Express. I saw a girl today wearing the cutest yellow skinny jeans. She said they have awesome denim colors and even better prices!

  24. Taylor says:

    Looks like a great weekend! I saw a pair of mint jeans at zara last weekend that looked amazing and were a great price point, keep wanting to go back for them! I got 2 pairs from Nordstrom that are some type of Nordstrom brand that I love and they were only about $50 each. Love the DVF dress!!!

  25. J Ryan says:

    For lower priced denim, I love BDG from Urban Outfitters. They don't stretch out after you leave the house and they're only about $60! Hahaha. For higher price/better quality, I am obsessed with J Brand. They are chic, simple and slimming! My fave colors are the cobalt blue, kelly green and anything coral! Good Luck! 🙂

  26. Laura says:

    Love your dress! I got some great coloured skinnies in Zara this season, in mint & coral – the fit is amazing 🙂

  27. LOVE those mint jeans. Are those hudson's? Happy Birthday week! 🙂

  28. Pris says:

    Love the coral jeans but the mint ones are super cute, too! Graham Beck wine is sooo good but I always have a hard time finding it!

  29. Alexa says:

    OMG those bags are the cutest! And I love your dress.

  30. Bud and Leo says:

    Sounds like a perfect weekend– seriously! Happy Bday week 🙂 I believe the jeans in your photo (the hot coral) are Current/Elliot and you can get them at Nordy- they fit like a glove. I have those Hudsons in purple but I don't LOVE the fit. I heard Zara has an adorable pair of mint pants 🙂

  31. emily says:

    Love your dress! Those hand painted bags are great! Happy birthday week!!

  32. Sterling is just the cutest! Love those bags and well, you know I went with J.Crew, if you do, get them tight as they stretch (I wish I've gone with a smaller size). BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters fit really good, I wanted a pair but they didn't have the color I wanted in the store I visited.

  33. yuummm!! I can't wait for that nacho recipe!!

    LOVE LOVE your DVF dress and that COOL mirror!! 🙂

  34. Hope I'm not too late to the post but I found teh best colored skinnies at Urban Outfitters. They're the ones by BDG and they come in a pretty palette of neon and pastel shades. I purchased the coral and love them. They're super soft with just the rigth stretch. Check em out!
