Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm back from my vacation and feeling rejuvenated and well rested. It was one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in awhile because it really required no work other than laying on the beach under the warm sun. I'll share pics later this week:)

Now that summer is pretty much over there are a couple of transitional items for Fall I'll be wearing constantly, starting with this leather peplum top. It's perfect to wear for date night, girls night out, and pretty much whenever you want to add a bit of feminine edge to your outfit;)

Enjoy the rest of the week! Xo.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Every time I see boho looking tunics, it reminds me of my trip to Egypt     I took a couple of years ago with a good friend. The weather was extremely hot (we're talking over 100 degrees everyday) so you wanted to be dressed in light and loose clothing. The streets would be filled with clothing vendors selling these type of tunics and and my friend really wanted to buy one as a souvenir to herself. I have very fond memories of us on the hunt for the perfect tunic but for the right price;) Part of their culture involves haggling so we have lots of funny stories of us trying to bargain. 

When I saw this shirt at the J.Crew store, I immediately thought of that great vacation and it was such a happy memory that I ended up buying this shirt. Since I love the embroidery on the shirt, I wanted to keep accessories to a minimum and let the focus be on the top.

On another note, last week my friend Meg invited me, along with a couple of other fab ladies to a fun doughnut tasting brunch she hosted at her place. I absolutely love the way she decorated her space and The Glitter Guide featured the get together on their site so check out the photos of the party and a peek into here place HERE.

Hope you're having a great week. Xo.

Happy Friday! One of the colors schemes I fell in love with over fall/winter was pairing black and blue together which is something I will carry through all seasons. I wanted to have pops of black show up from accessories in my outfit while paired against this super comfy and simple navy sweatshirt I bought last week. Comfy top, cut offs, and Chanel? This is basically my summer uniform;)

Have a great weekend. Xo.

Happy Wednesday everyone! At first glance, this black top looks very simple but the fact that the front of the shirt is faux leather gives it an edgier look than just your ordinary black shirt. The back of the shirt is a mix of spandex/rayon which makes it comfortable to wear when dealing with summer weather.

Have a great rest of the week. Xo.

Weekend Snapshots

This weekend I....

1. Went to go visit my grandma, but not with out stopping by to pick up flowers for her first.

2. Tried Chasin' Tails in Arlington, VA for the first time. The first time I had crawfish was in Las Vegas several years ago at Hot n' Juicy and wasn't that impressed (they opened a location in DC) with the crawfish/flavors...I dunno. So much work for such little reward from those critters. The place wasn't bad but it wasn't mind blowing either so I never bothered checking out their place in DC. But, I was curious about Chasin' Tails since it's been consistently getting good reviews and am really happy I did. We ordered 1 lb each of the crawfish and shrimp which came in a steamed bag with corn and potatoes. What impressed me was the sauce smothered and marinated on the crawfish and shrimp. Oh my Lord. There are 3 flavors you can choose from (cajun, lemon-pepper, and garlic-butter) or you can choose to get the whole "shebang" which is a mix of all 3 sauces. Trust me on this--get the whole shebang. I was so happy there was leftover sauce in the bag for the sausages we ordered later to be dipped in. I will be coming back again. Soon.

3. Placed some orders from Shobop earlier last week when they were having an extra 25% sale items and the items finally arrived over the weekend. One of the purchases was this Maison Martin Margiela ring set which I've been wearing nonstop since getting it.

4. Have been experimenting with watermelon recipes. One of the recipes that's been a huge hit in my kitchen is a watermelon mint salad. It's so easy to make that I'm almost embarrassed to call it a recipe but I'll still share the recipe on the blog this week because sharing is caring.

5. Discovered a cute little wine bar in Bethesda, MD called Vino Volo. I met up with a friend to catch up on life over vino/cheese/charcuterie which is pretty much my happy place.

How was your weekend?
