Happy Monday. You are not seeing things. This space of mine is getting a big upgrade/update! I have switched over to wordpress. Please bear with me as the OCD person in me continues to tweak and change the design….it is still in the very early stages. I love all the plugins that is such a huge difference with wordpress that I have already noticed and I think the pictures look a lot crisper and brighter! If you still land here with my old blogspot page make sure to update to https://meetat-thebarre.com Linking up with Biana and Meghan!
Mark and I were off again this weekend! This time we actually stayed in the state of Florida. We headed over to his parents house on the other coast to get some visiting in and some work done on my baby car. On the way down we stopped by Cakes by Ron who made our wedding cake and cupcakes. Since Mark’s dad did not get get a chance go try the cake the night, of we got his own for him.
After we dropped off my car we headed over to Morton’s for happy hour. I just got these shoes up in New York and I am obsessed. They go with everything and no lie the most comfortable heels I have ever worn. The leather is so soft and the foot area has great padding.
Dress Charlie Jade old similar here + here | heels (on sale!) here obsessed with this pair! | Purse LV Neverfull here | Mirror Sunnies here |
Trust me I needed one of these after this week.
Got to take this badboy for a swing. My father in law said this could be our child’s car when they turned 16. Even though it doesn’t have airbags. 70’s Corvette for a 16 year old? Clearly he never read this story. I paired those above shoes with a vintage 70’s leather suede skirt from Mark’s mom and the end result was fantastic.
Eat way too much this weekend. Salads and water all week long I’m telling you!
The rest of the weekend was spent trying to figure out how to install lots of new plugins and making a running list for my blog designer (sorry girl!) plus trying to get ahead for this week. Also tried my hand at finally baking chickpeas (recipe to follow this week). So good!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! xoxoxoxo
Rachel Emily says

Looks like you had a great time this weekend–I think it’s so nice that you guys picked up a cake for Mark’s dad–so thoughtful! :)

what a fun weekend! and congrats on the move to wordpress! FYI you can set up a redirect so your old url forwards to the new one. This is especially helpful with any old pins etc.

Pamela says
Yay for the blog facelift! Love it! You kinda make me want to make the move to WordPress… then I remember what a pain in the butt it would be and how expensive it is to do it and then I realize, I’m just going to stick with Blogger haha! Glad you had an awesome weekend with the in-laws and by the way, now I want a mojito! Happy Monday love!

That’s amazing you all booked it to NYC recently just for fun! Love that. Your new site is looking awesome, girl. As is that profile pic! Excited to see the final looks!
Nadia @ The View Is Beautiful says
The new site is looking so good! Selfishly I’d love to see a rundown of the plugins you use and love sometime in the future – it would make things a heck of a lot easier for if/when the transition happens for me! I was so jealous of all your outings during the winter – the weather is finally nice enough to enjoy time outside here, so I’m looking forward to get out of hibernation!! P.S. You are looking AMAZING in your sidebar photo!
Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis says
Your new design looks awesome along with all your weekend happenings and lovely outfits!
Deborah says
New blog designs are so exciting!!! But super stressful. lol It looks great so far! And how awesome was the Florida weather this weekend?! Even with a little rain it was gorgeous.
Nichole says
Yay for new blog designs! Making the switch from Blogger to WP last year was the best blog decision, ever!
Paige @ Reasons to Come Home says
I hope you have a smooth transition to WordPress. I switched about a year ago and while I love the functionality of WordPress, it was hard to get used to! I’m still learning new things every day but glad to have other bloggers I can chat with about it! The new design is so classy and pretty!
Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says
Whoohoo! I’m likely making the switch later this year… It’s just so daunting! But Blogger has really been driving me nuts lately – so limited with what I can do! And the plugin situation is awful. Anyway, your weekend looks like a blast! I’m right there with you on the salads and water diet…
Kerry says
Those shoes are fabulous! Baked Chickpeas, sounds really good. Congrats on moving to WordPress!!
Allison says
LOVING the new design, girlfriend! It’s so chic and clean.
Also loving this post – those pictures are incredible and you look GORGEOUS as always and with all the ways you styled your gorge heels. That is hysterical about the car! Totally sounds like something my dad would say (he offered to teach me to drive stick on his M5, which was too much pressure for my anxious self). You look great in it! :)
Happy start of the week – I’m with you on the salads and water after a food filled weekend :)
Amy @ The Crazy Wise Woman says
Love the new look lady! Hahaha… the seventies corvette reminds me of growing up in the Motor City when everyone drove Corvettes, Trans-Ams, Camaros and Mustangs! Vintage clothing yes please!!!
Elise @ High Heels and Glittering Eyes says
I love the new look! Those shoes are to die for!
kristen says
