Jumping Into The Weekend

Ugh. This is so embarrassing! I am DATELESS tonight! 

Okay... Okay... I know. I am married. It's not like I am single, but I have been looking forward to tonight for weeks! 

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper are here in Charlotte tonight only for their LIVE stage show, "Deep Talks and Shallow Tales". I've got my tickets,  I made dinner reservations for Dallas and I, and I secured a babysitter. Or so I thought! 

At work today, for some reason, I had the worst feeling. I didn't know why so I started running through my "To Do" list in my head and something told me to check in with our babysitter about tonight.

I text my husband to ask our nanny if she was still on for this evening? Her response... "Oh no, I have plans with my Mom tonight. I didn't know anything about it." 

My heart immediately sank because I knew I had a text message saying she could do it. So ... now I'm off to the show stag because it's too short notice for anyone else to watch Cash and all my friends have plans. 

At least I'll look cute in this chambray pantsuit.

Chambray Summer

Oh, how I love Chambray in the summer... and no I'm not talking white wine. Chambray, not to be confused with Chardonnay, is that light denim material you've seen everywhere lately. Although I like where your head is at!

Chambray is the fabric of the moment, but what is it really? It looks like denim but feels like linen. Well, although it does share some common elements with denim, it is actually categorized as it's own unique material.

Chambray is a plain single weave construction, giving it a softer feel than traditional denim. Subsequently, after washing this material, you will need to iron it to bring back it's soft texture. 

I am loving this tulip backed tank top in this alluring fabric, coupled with a traditional pair of slightly distressed white denim jeans. I styled this look with a pair of nude strappy summer heels and my brand new Katey Brunini bracelets. 

Katey Brunini handcrafts all of her fine jewelry by hand to create the most beautiful natural pieces you have ever seen! For my birthday this month, Dallas added a pearl bangle to my already impressive stack.  

These bracelets have always represented milestones in our relationship. One from our first wedding anniversary and one from Cashton's birth date with his birthstone at the center. 

This one also has great meaning in my life. Dallas gifted me this bangle as a representation of Woofer, our late fur baby who we said goodbye to last month. Of course, I cried when he put it on my wrist and told me the meaning. Now, I proudly wear it every day along with my other reminders of a blessed life I am lucky to have.  

I wore these gorgeous pieces of arm candy with my Daniel Wellington watch to complete this look and you can shop the details below.

Hello Sunshine

Hello Sunshine! I love a weekend that is 90 and sunny! It makes me feel like I'm on vacation. 

Now, if only I had a babysitter and a cocktail!

Since I have neither of those things, I plan on spending the majority of this weekend staying cool in the pool. The swimming pool is two-fold for me. It gives Cashton something to do while staying cool and it wears him out! 

That's the name of the game people because when the baby sleeps, you sleep! (In theory) 

To celebrate my weekend in the sun I am excited to debut this adorable cover-up and hat from Luxe Angel Boutique. 

Luxe Angel Boutique is located in the heart of South Park at 720 Gov Morrison St #160, Charlotte NC 28211. They are in the same plaza as Earth Fare! 

Keep in mind, that if you can't find the item you're looking for online, they can always ship to you. Just call the store at (980) 229-0220. 

This white off the shoulder pompom cover-up is perfect for a staycation or a weekend at the beach! The floppy hat is a must-have for any getaway in the dog days of summer and of course, you can't forget the sunscreen!

Happy Birthday Fabrik Birkdale!

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fantastic week and with the weekend right around the corner, it's time to start planning those date night looks that are sure to capture your boo's attention!

I wanted to share this maritime denim outfit with all of you. The nautical striped dress is from Express's summer line and the Kendra Scott earrings, Jimmy Choo shoes and Kate Spade clutch add a pop of color to this summer stunner! 

I felt like the purse was a nice way to honor the late Kate Spade this week and it is just a chilling reminder that depression does not discriminate. 

I've also paired this look with one of my all time favorite denim jackets. This one is from Fabrik Birkdale and I'm obsessed with the girliness of the ruffle on the sleeve. 

Fabrik Birkdale is also celebrating it's 2nd Birthday today! Tonight when you visit the Birkdale location you can meet the founder of Fabrik and receive a 40% discount on one item while you sip cocktails from 5-7pm! 

You can also check out their new arrivals on my Instagram story and call the store for details if you can't attend tonight's event! Happy Shopping Dolls!
