Weekend Wish List

Shell Caftan// Orange Swimsuit// Floral Necklaces

Cane Bag// Coffee Table Book// Clover Charm Necklace

Entry Rug// Smocked Dress

Happy Friday! Do you all have any fun plans this weekend? We are going to dinner tonight, and we will go to my aunt and uncle's annual derby party tomorrow! It has been HOT here this week, so I plan to spend more time outside! This weekend's wish list is very blue-focused; it's not what I intended, but it's just how it happened. You all know I love blue and white, which is no surprise!

Some items of note... 

- The new arrivals from Lilly are SO good. I love the blue and white shell print. It's so different than other things they have released! This collection was designed in collaboration with Lilly Pulitzer's daughters, Minnie and Liza! So neat. 

- This Entry Rug gives me S+L vibes, and you will never believe where it is from!

- How fun are these Floral Necklaces? I've been very into colored costume jewelry lately. It is a nice way to accessorize in the summer without having to layer! 

- I read an article interviewing the costume director for the TV show Palm Royale. She mentioned this Coffee Table Book as a source of inspiration for the show! I've never added something to my cart quicker! 

- This is my favorite swimsuit cut, and this  Orange Swimsuit is so pretty. I love a scoop neck and a low scoop back. It's classic and easy to wear. A solid color also makes it easy to pair with many different coverup options. It is currently on sale! 

Denim Jacket// Sweatshirt// Blue and White Top

Pink Raffia Clutch// Sandals// Tinted Lip Balm// Small Tote

Shift Dress// Red White Blue Pillow// Scallolped Tank

Some items of note... 

- Love this new Sweatshirt style in one of my favorite fabrics of all time. It's truly the SOFTEST. 

- This is a fun little Pink Raffia Clutch that's inexpensive! 

- This Small Tote is on my dream wish list. I love its clean lines and simplicity. So good. 

- This Red White Blue Pillow is another S+L look for less. I bet you can't guess where this is from before you click. SO good. There are quite a few good pillows: this one, this one, this one, and this one.

-  This Shift Dress is another good Lilly find from their new arrivals! I have this style in a few prints from years past. It is an iconic Lilly silhouette. 

- I have a lip gloss/balm/stick problem. I love them. I love to try all of them and all of the different colors. This is the latest Tinted Lip Balm that is intriguing to me. It doesn't hurt that it is on sale. I am eyeing the shades nude lavalliere and nude crush. Don't let the names fool you; I don't think they're very 'nude' at all!

Lately

Pajamas

Sunglasses// Coverup// Tote

350 Bakery Cherry Pie

My sister's adorable handbag under $50

Happy almost weekend! It was a slow week as Henry was sick going into this weekend and is now thankfully on the mend! I was so worried about him all weekend so that kind of occupied all of our time and attention! Luckily, nothing big was wrong; it was just a little GI issue, and all is good. Phew. 

This week, I tried Pilates for the first time and signed up to add that to my regimen! I am excited to learn more, try it out, and see how I like it. I have been feeling like I wanted to add more restful exercise, and Pilates seems like a perfect workout to complement Orange Theory! We shall see! 

It has felt like June here in terms of weather. I have been so glad to get out and walk with Henry daily this week. Today, I made plans to meet my mom for lunch, sit outside, and enjoy the weather! April and May are so iffy with the weather. You just never know, so this has been great! 

Linen Top (on sale)// Shell Necklace

Skirt// Clutch// Sandals

Pesto

Eating: I love pesto. I know it's easy to make your own, but I'm lazy. I love to try all of the jarred pestos, and I typically love the Gotham Greens brand. However, I picked out this one on a whim. I had not noticed it before and loved that it was made with only olive oil. It's crazy to me how many pestos are made with other oils. Pesto is olive oil. I snagged it at Whole Foods, but it looks like you can get it shipped to you via Amazon, too. It's incredible. The best jarred pesto I've ever had by a mile! It's so light and fresh. 

Sweatshirt// Leggings

Sandals (on sale under $100)

Sale: I love these Sandals. They are so comfortable and easy to just slide on and go. They're what I like to wear for walks around the block or running a quick errand or two, or at the lake. You can hose them down.

Watching: I just finished One Day which was really good. I feel like it may have dragged on near the end, but overall, I really loved it and would recommend it. It's a love story/drama. We are watching Summer House, and I think this season is decent after a few lackluster seasons. We started Baby Reindeer, I feel like everyone has been loving it, but we stopped watching after a bit. We found it so bizarre and very dark. I am so excited to hear that filming for Severance season 2 just wrapped. In this article, Adam Scott hints that we will get season 2 soon. AH! One of my favorite shows ever. 

Listening: Loving this song that is all over social media right now!

Loving: This mug + these pajamas.

Sandals

Loving II: This is a recommendation from my mom! She loves these pool slides, and they look so cute on her. I love the nude color as it elongates her legs and matches everything. She likes that they are comfortable and have more support than your typical pool flip-flops!

Sneakers

Loving III: I have quickly come to love these sneakers. I am a big Ultraboost fan, but they're $190. These go on sale for $70, and I like them just as much as Ultraboost for workouts and walking! There is no break-in period!

Wanting: I'm very much a person who will not throw out an appliance until it breaks. So, therefore, our coffee maker is perfectly good and I do like it. BUT, if it ever dies, this is the one I will replace it with. I love regular drip coffee, but I also love our Nespresso. However, it's annoying having both machines on the counter, so I keep the Nespresso in a cabinet. But, this machine is both a drip coffee machine just like the machine I have and love AND it brews Nespresso pods. SO brilliant. These pink pants are adorable and, even better, under $30!

Amazon Rec: This coverup is back in stock! I'm wearing a medium for a roomy fit! You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!

Traveling: We are off to Charlotte soon to visit my sister and brother-in-law! I can't wait, it's been a minute since I've visited!

Floral Dress at Atelier Playa Mujeres

Dress

Clutch// Similar Earrings

Sandals// Similar Belt// Sunglasses

I've shared most of the outfits I wore in Mexico to social media and the LTK app, but this one has yet to make its rounds, so I'm sharing it here first in a good old-fashioned outfit blog post! 

This is what I wore on the last evening of our trip. We stayed at our resort for the entire trip. There were many bars and restaurants on the property. This was my favorite bar, El Detalle, which is in building three, if you are ever at Atelier Playa Mujeres. We had dinner at the Mediterranean restaurant, Cala Di Luna, which was so cute and made you feel like you were in Greece! We ended the night with some stracciatella gelato. 

I had other, cuter shoes to pair with this outfit (these) but do you ever get lazy on the last day of vacation?  Because I do. I was glad my Hermes oran sandals worked with this Dress because I was not feeling heels! It was such a fun vacation with so many family and friends but there was not a lot of rest, ha!! 

This was the perfect dress to wear in Mexico, though. The fabric was lightweight and breezy! I paired it with a belt because the dress runs big, and I didn't have time to exchange it for a smaller size before I left, so the belt did the trick! However, I recommend sizing down one, maybe two sizes! I'm wearing a small and should have gotten an XS... I'm rarely an XS in anything. 

I brought only costume jewelry on this trip so I got to wear lots of different and fun earrings from my collection. The specific color of my earrings is sold out, but I just love this style of Earrings for adding color to a summertime outfit!

Can you believe we are nearing Mother's Day?! This year, Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 12th so you have a little less than two weeks to prepare! 

I love my mom so much, and I think she deserves the world. All moms do!! She is truly the best, and I do not take one day with her for granted. She is so supportive, loving, and a wonderful person. My biggest hope is that she always knows how appreciated she is. I think one of the best things in the world you can give to anyone is your appreciation. Let it be known and celebrated! 

Experiences are also so special, especially if you are around our age and our moms are older- they have all of the stuff they could really need! So, I listed quite a few ideas at the end of this post! Time together with your mom is truly the best gift you can give each other! 

However, I am a gift giver, and there is nothing better than giving gifts to my mom! This gift guide is filled with so many of my favorite things and things I have also gifted to my mom! When shopping for my mom, I particularly like to treat her to little luxuries that she may not buy for herself. 

If you want recommendations straight from my mom, she did a great gift guide for the holidays that you can find, here! 

If you are looking for something inexpensive to give to your mom friends to let them know you are thinking of them, I think a plant makes a gorgeous gift as you can pop it in a pretty planter! Even something simple like a $3 basil plant potted in this little blue planter.  It would also be a thoughtful touch to give to a friend who might be missing their mother or as a beautiful gift to give a host/hostess if you are attending a Mother's Day Brunch/Lunch/Dinner!

Experiences:

- Spa Day/Massage

- Facial Treatment (like at McCauley and Dean if you are local!)

- Manicure/Pedicure

- Overnight/Weekend Getaway 

- Afternoon at the garden center or whatever her hobby may be (golf, tennis, needlepointing, etc.)

- Dinner and a fun night out (see a show, comedy performance, concert, etc.)

- Hire a service: cleaning, landscaping, nanny, car detailer, etc. 

- A nice bottle of her favorite wine or champagne

- Afternoon tea at a fancy restaurant/hotel!
