This weekend started out great.
It was so blazing hot this weekend, my hair pretty much stayed in this fishtail braid.
While I did some of this.
Have to cover your face and highlights this hat is only $24!! It’s perfect for the Summer!
I woke up Sunday morning to this….
Got to spend a few hours at Costco where I found some money finds like this (I have a feeling I will be using that little mini more times than I want to admit). Btw…..like honestly why do razors cost so dang much?
Ultimately my day then needed to end with these.
I wanted to take the time to give a little shoutout to my dad. He is seriously the most amazing, wonderful, caring and sweetest man ever. I mean on Father’s day he wanted me to come down early so he could “quickly wash my car”. He raised six successful children and is now enjoying his newly retired self. Don’t worry he is staying very busy with his grandkids, orchids, church and all his new endeavors. I love you dad and can’t even put into words how much you mean to me.

Were all 4 of your tires flat or just one? Geez, I hope it wasn’t all of them. Fishtail braids are my favorite I just need to spend the time to actually do them.

OMG It was definitely SO hot this weekend! I didn’t even get any pool time because it was too freaking hot! I need to get me one of those mini razors! Such a smart idea! And I agree, they are way too freaking expensive. Love all those pics of you and your dad! Too cute! Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

That little razor is so cute! Love the shoutout to your dad. He seems awesome!
PS I am so jealous of you living in Florida. It’s just not fair.
Joey says
Besides the low tire, this sounds like a perfect weekend. I feel like I could use a dose of all those things!! Esp the cupcakes!
Brittany @ Perpetually Daydreaming says
Love the fishtail braid and maxi! Cupcakes and wine sound (and look) delish. Sounds like a pretty good weekend. Hope you have a good Monday!
P!nky says
That sunset is amazing, you are so lucky lady!
Love the hairdo and outfit and those fish tacos look delish! Glad you had an enjoyable weekend.
Caitlyn {Home Sweet Ruby} says
That sunset is gorgeous!! Looks like an awesome weekend, I don’t know how you manage in that heat! Charleston is oddly very similar in the summer to Florida, which was a disappointment for me because I thought I was getting away from the humidity when we moved here. haha!
Girl Brooks says
Pretty sure I drooled over the fish tacos and cupcakes. Love how you kept the fish theme, too.
Christina says
oh those tacos!!! i am giggling at the razor. ;) you never know when you’ll need that!!!!
Paige @ Reasons to Come Home says
That sunset is gorgeous. So jealous! Loving the fishtail braid and it’s seriously the sweetest that your dad wanted to wash your car for you on Fathers day! Happy Monday, girl!
Rebecca says
Yeah um, why do razors cost so much!?? Love that fishtail braid, and is that Forever 21?? Aka my favorite store ever?? I can never leave there without buying 20 things!
birdie to be says
Ugh… so sorry about your car. I seriously hate car problems. Love your pics with your dad and your fishbraid. Wish I could do that!
Tracie Everyday says
I’ve been living in the fishtail too! If only I could wear the fishtail with some gold hammer pants, then my life would be complete.
Nichole @ casadecrews.com says
Aww, your dad is sweet. We just bought our house this weekend, and yesterday, my dad just went to the house and cleaned out our gutters. I was like, “umm it’s Father’s Day, you should be lounging!”, but he said he couldn’t stand the thought of us moving in with all that. Gotta love nice daddies. Love the fishtail braid!
Megan @ ThefancyFlamingo says
That fishtail braid looks great, wish I could do that to my hair! I love living in Florida too!
Alex @ she's his co-pilot says
Your fishtail braid looks great! As does that hat on you!
Seriously, why are razors so expensive?? And why does the hair on my legs grow back so quickly….?
Kate @ Another Clean Slate says
That mini would be perfect to leave in my car’s glove box for when I notice I missed shaving my knee!
SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph says
Razors are ridiculously expensive. I order mine from Dorco now and they’re a zillion dollars cheaper.
I can’t braid for crap, yours is awesome!
Katie Elizabeth says
Aww love the dad pictures! Mine is the same way – he washes my car EVERY single time I come home! And seriously, why do razors cost so much?! Glad you guys had a good weekend.. drooling over those fish tacos!!
Karly @ Miss in the Midwest says
I’ve been wanting to get that mini razor! It’s at Costco? Good thing, we are going there next weekend. Love looking through all your pictures – looks like a good weekend!

Kasey Lynne says
Florida can be so dang pretty! I love the sunsets there. I have a close friend who lives in Orlando, and everytime I visit her, I have to go to the coast. I just love it.
LOVE that Trixxi Maxi on you. I want to buy one so bad, but I’m afraid it will be too short….BUT, Nordstrom does have a great return policy.
Court @ Sweet Home Alabamian says
Sad day for the Beamer! And your wallet. Your dad is precious. :)
Emily Storey says
Ahh that last picture is beautiful! I wish I lived near the ocean :) maybe one day… ;)
Great picture of you and your dad! And love the black maxi! you can never have enough maxi dresses in my book! xx
Mree says
I cannot stand the heat so I could never live in Florida. Last time I was there, all I did was complain that it was too hot and it was only March. hahah. Love the fishtail!! I go nuts when the “low tire” light comes on. It has to be reset by the dealership which I think is such a pain. You know the potholes around here!! OOh I have been wanting to try that razor. Will have to go to costco. Love me some crumbs!!
Best, Mree
Sara {Rhapsody and Chaos} says
Those fish tacos are making me starving. They look SO good! Your dad sounds fantastic :)
Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often says
Love the hat! The low tire light always freaks me out but hopefully you made it to a place to add air. Great pics of your Dad.
Shelby H. says
Perfect weekend! Razors suck and men’s are like twice the cost I swear. Loving the maxi (F21?) with that necklace! And your dad is too cute ;)
brooke lyn says
your fishtail makes me miss my long hair
Amy @The Crazy Wise Woman says
I was thinking did some crazy slash your tires??? Lol… I’m guessing it was something else. Oh and those fish tacos look amaze!! Cute maxi!
Kelly Elizabeth says
Love your fishtail! Always love the fishtail! :)

Nadine Lynn says
Oh my! That view! I need the beach immediately!!!!

Amanda - Voyage of the MeeMee says
I definitely can’t comment w/o making a bad “fish taco” joke… haha! ;P
Razors and tampons are the bane of my existence. Shit should be free! Mostly the tampons though b/c I don’t shave THAT often… bahahah! ;P
Just Me, Angie! says
