What I'm loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday Y'all!

Here is a list of what I am loving today

First and foremost, I am loving (and hating)
that it is the 10th Anniversary of Mean Girls.

1. I love this movie

2. I feel old but it is Wednesday
and we wear pink!
Top: Lilly | Shoes: Old Similar Similar
Bracelets: Yurman Look A like that I seriously bought at a yard sale

I am so loving this lip sync battle between
Jimmie Fallon and Emma Stone.
So funny and she totally kills it!
You can find it here

I am loving these sweet little prints

They are super cute and the price is awesome!
I need some of these for my office!

The Olive Juice print reminds me of an old friend
that passed away a couple year ago.
She used to say that all the time when we were in middle school!

Lastly, I am loving (everyday) these sweet boys!


and I will tell you what I am NOT loving...
going to work in this nasty rain!

Rain Rain Go Away!
We want to go to the Range today!

Nothing says Summer like Lilly!

Nothing.
Nothing in the world say Summer
like Lilly Pulitzer.

It is a proven fact
and the Summer 2014 line
does not disappoint!

Here are some of my favorites!

I want to start with what I feel is the most talked about
new Lilly pattern of the season.
I know a lot of you are not feeling the Jellies but
I think I would rock it in a Murfee
however, I am fully convinced I could never do a dress.

How precious are these shorts with their scallop??
Plus I love this pattern.

Well because seersucker.

The lace detail is what sells me on this dress!

Another well talked about print
that I can not get enough of!
I love this print for Summer.
So stinkin' cute!

I am a sucker for patchwork
and the lace.... swoon.
I honestly haven't worn a skort since like
the 6th grade but I am willing to try!

All in All, I am very impressed with the
2014 Lilly Collection and 
have added several items to my wish list.

What do you think?
What is your favorite collection item?

Best Beach Trip EVER.

What a great weekend!

I booked a condo on Hilton Head Island for K's birthday this weekend.
Our friends joined us and it was full of
relaxation, laughing, eating and sun!

We went up on Friday evening and K and I had a date night before our friends arrived.
We went to a great place on the Island named Bomboras Grille.


 My hot date!

The view from our table.
I had the shrimp and grits.
I will be reviewing this place on the blog this week so stay tuned!

Saturday was beach day! 
The place we stayed had a private beach that was perfect
and only about 50' from our condo.

This was the first time K and I had been to the beach together
and it was wonderful.


Can we please take a minute to talk about the glasses
my hubs has on? Hilarious.



Saturday night we went the hubs favorite HH spot
Old Oyster Factory

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect!

My best friend of 12 years


Happy Birthday K!


Sunday was all about relaxation and SHOPPING!


We definitely weren't ready to leave the beach!

K and I have a tradition.
We play mini-golf on every vacation we take.
This place, Pirates Cove, was REALLY wonderful.
The staff were super sweet.
Plus, they had the cleanest restrooms of any mini-golf place I have ever seen.
Just Sayin'


How perfect is this?

Okay.  This Kate Spade store was like Heaven.

My Kate Spade finds!
Excuse the hair.  Humidity is no friend of mine!

 I just had to try these on at Off 5th!
$1,200 Valentino

$825 Manolo Blahnik 

Ha Ha
This was K's reaction when I told him the price
 So I made him try some on!


$625 Prada and the most uncomfortable
shoe he has ever tried on :)

We had such a blast at Hilton Head
and can not wait to go back more this summer!
Happy Monday Y'all!

Beach Bound!

We are heading to Hilton Head island today.
Although, we will only be there for the weekend
we have a lot of fun activities planned!
(Raise your hand if you can not say the word activities
without thinking of Step-brothers?!)

I packed up last night and
couldn't help but notice that there are things
that I have that just scream BEACH to me!

Here is what is in my suitcase for this weekend!

Suit: Target  | Hat: Gift | Necklace: Initial Outfitters
Bangle: Anthropology Similar Similar
Linen Pants: Old Navy

First, please excuse my iron cord!
Second, I am so in love with this beach look. 
Linen pants are great for that not quite summer Beach Trip.

Bottoms: Target | Tank: Kiss My Southern Sass
Bracelet: Marley Lilly | Sunnies: RayBan
Pants: Old Navy | Hat: Target

I actually have a top that matches this outfit
but I am saving it for monogram Monday! hint hint!
I bought this tank a few years ago when Kiss my Southern Sass
was just starting out!  Her shirts are adorable but this is my fav!

Pink: Old Navy Similar Similar
Green: Magnolia Lane for the Augusta National

I enjoy wearing tunics at the beach whether it is
over a bathing suit, with shorts, or with linen pants!
They are perfect for those chilly nights!


Silver Sandals: Jack Rogers
Black Sandals: Tory Burch Millers

I usually sport flip flops down to the beach
but these sandals are perfect for dinners out and drinks
with good friends!

Psst. Don't forget that today is the last day
of the HUGE Jack Rogers Sale!
Read about it here!

Beach Bag: Masters Bag Similar Similar

Towels and LOTS of sunscreen in the beach bag.
(I am totally a white girl who DOES NOT tan!)
Mimosas in the Cooler!

Crossbody: Dooney and Bourke

Here is my opinion on purses and traveling. I don't do it.
I always feel vulnerable when I am traveling
so I only take a cross body.
I also will only carry a cross body when I am shopping
or at a sporting event. 

This is currently my most favorite things ever.
I picked this up at the tourney this year and I am in love. 

These are my necessities and accessories for the beach!
Lots of outfit post and fun pictures coming next week!

Side note: Tory Burch is having a 25% off Friends and Family Sale!
Just use the code FRIENDLY at checkout!

TGIF Y'all!

Loving you is the prize!

Today is K's Birthday!

Y'all.  I know it goes without saying but I am SO in love with this man.
Every single day he reminds me that I am the luckiest girl in the entire world.

He is the most patient man I have ever met.

He has a way of calming me down.
Not sure if y'all could tell but
I have a flair for the dramatic.

I'm OCD.

I can tend to be emotional...

K knows just what to say to bring me
down off the ledge and reminds me
that our life is wonderful!


He is also an incredible husband and step-dad.
If you ask any of his friends, if they thought K would ever be
a husband or step-dad, a couple years ago, they would have said you were crazy.
Yet, I couldn't ask for a better man to have come into our lives.
Honestly, there are days that I think the Dood likes him more than me
and there are days that I KNOW he does :)

He is my very best friend.  
My most trusted confidant.
My rock.
The love of my entire life.



I have never been so happy in my life
and it is because of this man!


I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him!


Happy Birthday K!
I hope this is your best birthday yet!

I love you with my whole heart!

Pearl
