Happy Friday! This week flew by, yet was super slow at the same time. I'm excited to have a weekend in Charlotte to chill and hang with friends. I think we're going to see Beauty and the Beast this weekend-I've heard nothing but amazing things. I'm also going to visit my grandparents this Sunday, I try to see them at least once a month. What are you up to this weekend?
Brandi Carlile sings some of my favorite, somewhat sad songs. I fell in love with, "The Story" which is below, but another one of my favorites is, "I Belong to You." You should definitely check her out, have a big glass of wine while you do!
Last weekend, my friends and I headed to Sea Island for a girl's weekend. We had the most amazing time, per usual. Sea Island is one of my favorite spots and we've made it a bi-yearly event. We hit the spa on Saturday and overall had the best, most relaxing weekend. Cheers to Sea Island and the entire staff at the Cloisters, they make our every trip special and amazing!
Ready for take off with a glass of champagne
My friends Catherine and Megan....sweet tea, ham n goody cookies and champagne-clutch Friday morning!
I discovered Lake PJ's and they're officially my new jam! The best, most cozy pj's on the planet! My friend Kristen and I both ended up wearing the same pair when we were at Seabrook. I currently have the blue striped pair found here. I definitely want to add the new pair below to my assortment!
There is nothing better than being at my parent's beach house! Mama Jill and I had the absolute best weekend ever! I love how you can see our shadows in this pic!
The view from our dunes...
Mama Jill and I went on some great walks and had some excellent wine!
Mama Jill and I, aka besties in our Krewe sunnies!
We met my cousin Kellie for dinner Saturday night at Brasserie Du Solei, one of our fave spots.
Having fun on Snap!
I drove to Raleigh Sunday to meet my besties newest angel, Harper Kathryn Wood. She is such a doll baby!
Another baby to spread love and kisses to, so excited to welcome her into our extended family!
Ahhhhh that big sigh of relief that we made it through another week, I'm having that big time over here! It was a long, hectic week and without really having a weekend last weekend, it's been even longer. I'm at my parent's beach house and am just so thankful to be here. Time to breathe in some ocean air!
I've been really trying to only be positive and upbeat, more so than normal. I feel that negative things and people can really affect every aspect of your life. My friends and I were talking about this Wednesday night and we all agreed, that it's just not worth it. The song, "Let it go" always comes to mind and I do hilariously find myself singing it in my head.
I'm excited to just have a super chill weekend and hang with Mama Jill. She totally gets me and can chill me out with just a few words, which I am so thankful for. She's the best-insert all the heart emoji's here!
I've been enjoying the new Zedd and Alessia Cara song, "Stay." It's been on my hot playlist all week long. Check it out!
The Liberty hotel, which was a prison until 1990. We had dinner at Scampo-amazing Italian in the hotel and drinks in the lobby, which had a night club vibe with a DJ Saturday night.
Old City Hall
We found this gem and his raccoon, that he of course designed himself, hahah!
So happy to spend time in the North-end and smell all the amazing Italian food!
This is what I looked like bundled up all weekend, kudos to those who do this all winter. I was still freezing, so clearly I'm not made for northern winters.
I broke lent for a famous cannoli from Mike's. I've added a day to make up for it! But seriously, how could I resist?!??
Yvonne's was a gorgeous bar/lounge that we were told to check out. It did not disappoint!
Happy Friday friends! I'm off to Boston until Monday for work and let me tell you, it's going to be FREEZING! As in high of 19 degrees on Sunday! I'm pulling out all the layers and puffy jackets for this weekend! I've never been to Boston and coincidentally my friends and I just planned a girls weekend there in June, so throw any suggestions my way!
Rag 'N Bone Man is a new discover of mine. His voice just slays me and I'm addicted to his single, "Human." You should definitely check him out and enjoy his amazing voice!
Have an amazing weekend-I hope you're doing something fabulous!
Last Friday, I went to a Mi Golondrina trunk show at Poole Shop and it was amazing. I love her pieces and am so excited that I was able to see all of them in person! I bought two tops and this dress and I'm in love. They're so easy, but so cute and chic, which means a winning combo! Check out her website to see a great selection or check her Instagram for more trunk shows!
