Weekending-The Birthday Countdown is On!
June 30, 2014Happy Monday. You know when you have lots of things you need to do, a list perhaps and then you get like two things done and they weren’t even the most important things…..yup that was pretty much how this weekend went down. Alright big news around here. The week countdown is on till the Big 3-0! I’m super excited! Okay quick weekend recap linking up with my girl B.
I spent lots of time here both teaching and taking.
Then I got sucked into TJMaxx. Such amazing finds!
Another Dry Shampoo to try////Obsessed with these acrylic letter bookends///I mean I wanted to buy every one of them!
Was this the find of the century or what? Cynthia Vincent silk sheath dress on major clearance.
It has been hotter than blaze outside…..so I’ve pretty much been living in this dress. I got it when it was on sale and seriously it feels like pj’s. Oh and the 16 year old hostess at the restaurant told me she loved my dress….yes this almost 30 year old still has it hahahaha.
Found on SHOPBOP black long Cutout Rachel Pally dress save version here///obsessed with the side detail on this one (and it’s on sale!)///black and white striped version here///love this color (free shipping and 15% off student discount….hello .edu email!) Please ignore the aftermath of the engagement picture outfits.
On Sunday after Barre we ventured over to Square One Burgers and honestly had a delicious meal.
I was pleasantly surprised plus we had a few happy hour libations and then headed to Traders Joe’s for some wine tasting (I am not a wings person at all but they were really good!)
This weekend was spent on getting together a few guest posts for all you lovely ladies who are traveling this Summer. The most amazing part was wrangling in a very handsome photographer who actually took my picture with my DSLR camera and not just my iPhone in rapid fire succession. I can’t give away all the fun pictures but loved this money shot. What do you think of his first shoot? ;-) (please ignore my scary hands….salt for lunch and it’s a million degrees out….plus my new lens leaves nothing to the imagination now)

Finally, my new blogging notebook. I just could’t resist it.
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Check back tomorrow for my birthday wish list and things I’ve been digging lately. xoxoxoxo

Kathy @ Vodka and Soda says
i wonder how much different tj is from winners (which is the canadian version of TJ). i bet it’s way better since for some reason, the second companies cross the border, they turn to a bag of ass :( target, marshalls…what’s next??
Stacy G says
My mom just picked up that dry shampoo for me from Marshalls! lol I need that maxi, that bag is gorg and I love your new notebook. Mine definitely needs an upgrade! XO Happy Monday!
Tracey says
Love your blogging notebook and that black dress!! It looks amazing on you. Also, I cannot believe that CV dress went from $119 to $20 FREAKING DOLLARS?!
Latsyrc728 says
Awesome deal on that dress!! Happy early Birthday too! My 31st is in less than a month. 30 really isn’t a big deal like people make it seem it is.
I was at TJ’s and TJ Maxx this weekend and we *almost* went to Square 1 but changed our minds at the last moment. Great minds think a like. :)

You know what??? I have not been doing enough TJ Maxx shopping so thanks for reminding me. I have been wanting to re-accessorize my house a little and they have the greatest finds! You did good! Love that cut out dress!
Paige @ Reasons to Come Home says
Why do I always forget about TJ Maxx??? The Batiste is the best dry shampoo I’ve tried yet!
Brianne says
I love the quote on your blogging notebook!
Cassandra Duncan says
I think you’ll like the Batiste dry shampoo. I haven’t been using dry shampoos for very long, but I have been on the hunt for my favorite. So far, the Batiste is the best that I have used. With other dry shampoos, I feel like I have to wear my hair up still because it still looks somewhat dirty, but with Batiste I’m able to wear my hair down and it looks like I just washed it.
