West Coast Weekend

Just returned from working and weekend'ing on the west coast.

 It was incredible - great sights, food, wine, company, and the best -

Zero Humidity.

More pics to come...

Weekend

Wow, it's already Wednesday.

Bloggin' sometimes sneaks away from you.

I jetted off for the weekend to celebrate my dear cousin's upcoming wedding. Living in NYC she wanted guaranteed sun, so we escaped to this fabulous boutique resort. It was delightful & FUN. And I got to see my sister who I hadn't seen since Christmas.

Here is the bride dressing the part. We kept it classy.

My other cuz, her sis & MOH, did such a great job with all the details & accessories. These were delicious cupcakes from a local bakery that devoured at all hours of the night.

The cousins

sister.

(who claims she didn't have a 'hurt head' all weekend.)

After a long weekend of sun & fun, I then carried on the getaway to one of my most favorite events of the year with husband, brother, & his gf...

It's a tradition like no other, and we had a blast. In fact, John says he added a nice contribution to our 'china cabinet'. That's 32 cups just in case you're curious.

It was the perfect weekend filled with lots of family quality time.

Doesn't get any better than that.

M & K are Hitched!

This post is lonnng overdue but I wanted to wait for the newlyweds (aka. LTK's fave readers) to return from their incredible honeymoon to Argentina, Uruguay, and somewhere else? fancy & fabulous.

M&K got married St. Patty's Day weekend in Charleston. And not just Charleston...but a beautiful historic plantation under the Avenue of the Oaks. We all stayed downtown on King Street which I had not visited in years. Best shopping, nightlife & food.  Not to mention how fun it is celebrating a best friends wedding with all of your friends together in one place.

Everything about the wedding was perfect from the gorgeous setting, grilled cheese station, 80's band (ohhhh yea), and just the simple elegance.

Complete Southern Charm.

Not to mention, M was super chill ;) and had the time of her life which always makes for a fun wedding.

Oh & she let us bridesmaids where any color dress and any style.

People ranted & raved over how good it looked and it just so happens everyone wore complimenting colors...yep, she knows her friends well.

Enough chat, here are the few (sadly) pics that I took.

Wigs & Whereabouts

Well Hello friends. It's been a busy week and I feel like I've been all over the place.

We left off last week during one of our best friends Big 30th birthdays. 30, really??!

We kicked off the weekend and "wigged out". There is something crrrrrazy fun about putting on a wig and getting wild. It was a birthday for the books.

Next up I traveled home for 2 of my best friends baby showers. {Pics to come soon - on the camera}

Then to Birmingham for a quick work trip.

And now signing off for the weekend for M & K's nups!!!! wahoooooo!!! It is going to be the perfect weekend in Charleston celebrating some of our best friends.

This pic screams Spring. Not gonna lie, it's a little tough waking up to dark bed but I'm loving the extra hour of sunlight at night.

Pink Wallpaper



Loving...

...that it's Friday.

...this DIY necklace from a very talented blogger, here. can i just purchase?

...the new Tom Flat's

These pink pretties have my name written all over them.

Anyone own? If so, are they comfortable?

...And lastly, this diva pup has made herself quite comfortable lately. We got bold one night and let her sleep on a dog bed in our room (instead of crate). This is where I found her early the next morning.

What?

Thank goodness it's just a $50 thrift chair from an estate sale.


Happy Weekend Friends!

Monday, Monday

Hi! I am home today celebrating our President's. Thank goodness. The weekend was so beyond fun that I am still exhausted today. And I think I slept 12 hours last night.

We had a blast! Can you imagine 13 girlfriends in one house at the beach?! As mentioned, this bride is fun. Tons of fun. She was the perfect bachelorette & totally rocked it all weekend.

We've made a pact that most pics would stay within the group. Don't worry we were well behaved, it's just ...what happens in Folly, stays in Folly.

Here are a few just to recap the perfect weekend.

Notice how the pics get blurry as the night goes on....oops.

Wild Women's Weekend.

Happy Friday!

I'm escaping with the best friends for a fun bachelorette weekend in Folly Beach celebrating one of our dearest friends. Let me tell you, she is f.u.n.

Party Marti, can't wait to celebrate you!!

Is it noon yet?

Catching Up

Hi There! Where have I been??? It's crazy how a week goes by from posting and it feels like a day.

We had a wonderful weekend in South Georgia with some old, fun friends.

Of course there was bribing involved - to get me to S. Ga for the weekend required a pit stop at Scott's beforehand.

We came home with the bottom mid-century prints for a steal....

Right Bldg

& these Andirons for another deal....the husband has been wanting original, old andirons for quite sometime.

Left Bldg



I was quite impressed with him - what was supposed to be a 30 min limit in each building turned into a 3hour browsing session. It wasn't me enthralled with all the goods. It was him checking out every.single.man.booth.

You know the ones that have all the dark wood junk ...old knives, books, fishing stuff.

So after a fun Scott's outing we made our way South. Check out this gorgeous sunset

And then we spent the weekend with our friends at a gorgeous plantation where little Finney went on her first Quail hunt. Let's just say it was a perfect weekend for JH.

Who would've ever thought this girl would be such a dog lover?

Hope you are having a great week!

Weekend: NYE

Goodbye 2011, It's been a fun one.

Cheers to the New Year!!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

9 Days to Go....Are you ready?!

I absolutely love this time of year and one of my most fave traditions of all is Christmas Cards.

The husband has a hard time sending a card when we don't have kiddos {remember he doesn't like to be exposed}, but I think it's a great tradition and fun to look back on previous years.

There is nothing better than coming home from work and checking a full mailbox of cards & not bills! Anyone Agree?

Those that know me know I don't listen to him :) and of course we sent out a card...for the 3rd year in a row.

Merry Christmas!!

Side note: Tinyprints is amazing but I wish they gave you the option to change the cards wordage. AKA Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays! Mr. Chairman, are you taking note?!

Side note 2: Finney is twice this size now...they grow too quick!


I saw this quote yesterday and it was a great reminder of one of the reasons of the season.

Enjoy your Weekend!
