You know what sucks? I don’t have one picture from Father’s Day. How on earth could I have done that?!?

I had a busy weekend with a family friend’s wedding on Saturday night. It was fun to get dressed up with my family and celebrate great friends. I wore a Nicole Miller dress (similar here) which was a simple little black dress with ruching.

I was so excited to wear my new dress from Edith Hart. I saw it on the website a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. I contacted the store’s owner to find it sold out immediately. I was so bummed. Then, she contacted me last week when she unexpectedly got it back in stock. It’s my favorite summer purchase!

 Hope you had a great weekend!

Weekend Highlights.

I’m not much of a sports person, however my entire weekend consisted of watching lots of sports- mainly football and basketball. I celebrated my friend Brittany’s Birthday Saturday for the Indiana vs. Wisconsin game followed by the Bulls game. Last night I made spiked apple cider with rum to go with taco night for the Bears game. Apple cider doesn’t go very well with taco night but J has been asking me to make it for him since September. He was the happiest man alive sitting on the couch watching the football game and sipping on spiked cider. Does that mean a way to a man’s heart is through booze?! Both the apple cider and taco night recipes will be posted this week!

 

Weekend Things

I apologize for being a terrible blogger- I’ve been getting work done on my site and I didn’t want to touch anything and mess it up! My blog is really annoying to navigate through right now, so please excuse the mess. This past weekend was a lot of fun. I attended my cousin’s wedding shower, celebrated a birthday, an engagement, and had friends in town. I was crazy busy!

Weekend Wedding

Good morning! I am exhausted from this weekend, I was in Connecticut for my cousins wedding. It was a blast!

6am at the airport on Friday

Airport outfit:

jacket: theory

scarf: theory

sunglasses: chanel

We arrived in Boston before our drive to Connecticut and had lunch. My Mom and I got bloody mary’s after the flight.

Obvi I had to have Boston clam chowder. SO GOOD!

My Mom and I split a lobster roll too

We got to the rehearsal dinner and began our liquid diet starting with a drink called a Cosmo lite. The brides sister Stephanie loves to create her own drinks. She also is the co-founder of Culintro.

Cosmo Lite: vodka, soda, splash of cranberry, splash of lime juice, lime slice, orange slice.
