Weekending Summer Edition

Oh Monday Monday Monday……how did you get here so quickly?  Summer has definitely arrived in Florida! Linking up with my girl Biana for her second annual weekending post.  I’m not going to lie, my weekend wasn’t too glamorous but I got a few classes in, slept with no alarm and got tons of work done.  Everything is better with visuals right?

Weekending

Working on my standing split and the 5 minute plank challenge.
Finally got our group picture from the Grand Opening party!  Love teaching a full class.

We headed to our favorite sushi place.  Threw on this maxi.

Dress sold out but found here///save version in blue here///save version in black here

My absolute favorite bottle of pinot
Finished the weekend grilling by the pool and enjoying the gorgeous Florida weather.  See I do eat healthy I promise!  Grilled veggies, swordfish and rice.  Adult libation while we waited.
Words to live by….
How was your weekend?  Did you do anything more glamorous than me?  Check back tomorrow for the products I’ve been digging lately.  Have a fabulous day!! xoxoxo

    Ok, I think we really need to see your other leg in this standing split. I see you are wearing your Plie Tights! How are you liking them, I got mine last week but haven’t had a chance to try them at barre. I did try them on and I think I might like my Zellas a little more but still winners!

    We finally had summer weather this weekend and it felt wonderful to just be outside! All your maxi’s are so adorable, and a sushi date is always a good idea.

    I have been forgetting to take photos of my weekend lately. I think I took a total of 3…. I am so lame.

    But I did eat some grilled kobobs and my husband went to the waffle house AND I wore a new maxi dress as well. I freaking loved it.

    Happy Monday to you!

    You look SO pretty in your red maxi, top bun and shades girl! I didn’t do anything huge either. I spent Saturday with my family then ended it with friends, then stayed at home in my pj’s yesterday doing stuff around the house. It was a pretty good weekend :)

  10. Caitlyn {Home Sweet Ruby} says

    June 9, 2014 at 11:44 AM

    YUM I love Pinot! Looks like such a great weekend!! So sorry I never got in touch with you, Saturday was crazy busy in Tampa and I was kind of winging it with what time I was going to get up there! Next time I’m in town we’re totally getting drinks, and I’m not talking about the coffee-kind. :)

  12. Pamela {Sequins and Sea Breezes} says

    June 9, 2014 at 12:02 PM

    Wait. 5 minute plank challenge?!? Um yeah, I think I’d pass out. Seriously you are gorgeous in that red maxi! And we totally grilled out this weekend too… such great (but really hot) weather! How fun are your Gator Solo cups? Perfect for tailgating!!

    Oh I love that last quote– so true! LOVE that maxi dress too- the red is such a great color! Your standing split is impressive girl! I can hardly do a 30 second plank! I can’t even think about 5 minutes!

  18. alyssa says

    June 9, 2014 at 2:00 PM

    June 9, 2014 at 2:48 PM

    I LOVE YOUR WEEKEND! I just love you more and more everyday. You go girl! Love the challenge, you have a killer body, love the maxi, love the Pinot!

  21. Karly @ Miss in the Midwest says

    June 9, 2014 at 2:51 PM

    There were zero signs of glamor over here, but it at least was productive. I know I already told you, but you look killer in that maxi! Glad you had a good weekend. :)

  22. Brianne says

    June 9, 2014 at 2:53 PM

    I’m doing the 5 minute plank challenge too! Along with a crunches, pushups, & squat challenge. I really love that last quote and the image it’s on.

  23. SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph says

    June 9, 2014 at 2:59 PM

    I think I’d probably die if I tried to plan for five minutes at this point. But I should do some type of plank!

    Glad you had a good weekend!

    June 9, 2014 at 3:39 PM

    Love the maxi a usual. Can we talk about that split?? I need to learn how to do that!

    Love – and have – that maxi! Definitely adding this wine to my new found (and free, obvi) app (Rate a Wine, because drinkers be getting confused by what is/not worth the moolah ha). Happy Monday!

  31. Lindsay @ Broke and Bougie says

    June 9, 2014 at 4:36 PM

    I did my first race this weekend, and now that that’s over and I can cool down on the running I think I’m going to look into finding a Barre class nearby – you’ve inspired me!

  47. Samantha Hawes says

    June 10, 2014 at 2:32 AM

    You looks so pretty in that dress! :D My weekend was crazy busy! I headed to Houston on Thursday and back on Friday night. Then Saturday the boyfriend’s parents came into town to visit for the week. By Sunday, I was already exhausted. Hah.

    June 10, 2014 at 2:29 PM

    I love that maxi so much! Also, I love summer, but cannot drink red wine during it. I have to stick to white. Looks like a great weekend! xo
