Happy Monday. I know talking about the weather is filler conversation but when it finally cools down and the humidity subsides in FL, we get excited. I have tried to buy high quality staples that will last multiple seasons. Then add a few trendy pieces that don’t break that bank. This weekend was spent organizing and getting ready for the next few months. I have a feeling this holiday season is going to fly by. Let’s get into a few fun snaps from the weekend, linking up with B.
Before we dive in, did you know the Rebecca Minkoff sample sale is going on right now? I have never seen her prices marked this low! I am in love with this moto crossbody. Check out this gorgeous jumbo burgundy number. If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a Mini Mac this is the time, seriously it’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen it marked.
Friday, I was off of work. If you follow me on snapchat (@meetatthebarre) you probably were clued into that. When I’m home I love snapping products and everyday life pics. It’s so much easier to take a quick 10 second video of why I’m loving a certain product instead of having to style it pretty. Am I right?
Saturday we headed over to Universal to take advantage of our Annual passes. The new NBC Sports Grill opened in City Walk and I absolutely recommend it if you want to catch a game before going into the park. The food was excellent and pretty reasonably priced. I also liked that they have open air dining. The weather was just glorious this weekend. Humidity gone. We headed over to the park and I had to get a shot inside of the London phone booth. Usually it is so crowded but for once nobody was around it.
Over to our favorite part of the park. I am telling you, every time we go, we find new details that we didn’t see the last time!
Even though we were stuffed from lunch, you know I can always find room for ice cream.
We made our way over to the main attraction which was the concert. I’m not going to lie y’all. I was pumped to see Jason Derulo.
He was beyond impressive. Even Mark was blown away. He can sing, his dancing is incredible and we were throughly entertained the entire time. His entire crew was on point. The DJ got the crowd going, his dancers were mind blowing and he barely took breaks the entire time while singing and dancing non stop. His workout routine must be killer to keep up with that kind of stamina and endurance. Naturally I snapped like a crazy person the whole time. If he is ever in your home town, I highly recommend checking him out.
I have wanted grey booties for the Fall and these are on point. They are comfortable and run true to size. Find them here. Similar pair on major sale here. Mid range here and here. Budget friendly under $40 here.
Last. I have been watching a fringe purse forever. Even though the trend is definitely here to stay, I wanted to find an affordable option. Well, I finally found it here. You can use it as a clutch, or attach the strap and use it as a crossbody or shoulder purse. The color goes with everything. Every single time I sport it, I get asked where to find it. It is by Violet Ray and all the pieces are made in the USA in New York. Check out the line. It was hard just to pick one!
I also swapped out my sunnies again for these fab Karen Walker ones. Have you checked out DITTO yet? Unlimited designer sunglasses for $24 a month. I am now on my third pair in a month. The shipping is free on both ends. They send you out a new pair, then just put your current pair in the box, use the pre paid shipping label and enjoy your latest designer glasses. So far I’ve had Derek Lam, Rayban and now Karen Walker. Completely seamless and great customer service. Try your first month for free with the code MEETATTHEBARRE. Which ones would you try first?
Make sure you check back tomorrow, I have 5 products that I have been using on major repeat and I’ll have all the details for you. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

I would be at HP world all the time!
Pinky says
So sad I didn’t make it to HP world when I was down in Orlando, I hear it is quite amazing. And I’ve only heard great things about JD in concert, he is uber talented! Love your nail color, I’m rocking a more greige version today.
Myra says
I am so freakin’ jealous of your passes to Universal and getting to go to Harry Potter!!! I WANT TO GO THERE SO BAD! Yay for the humidity finally letting up too! Hopefully it stays that way ;) x
Biana @ Blovedboston says

Alexis @ Chemistry Cachet says
I would love to go to HP world, how awesome is that! I also love that pink pillar and wall in the background ;)
Jenn says
Don’t tell me about another sale!!!!! I’m not listening!! haha
Loving those boots in the first photo. And I’m totally jealous that you get to go to Harry Potter–I haven’t been but have heard it’s awesome! Looks like a great weekend overall–glad you were able to bust out some Fall clothes this weekend!
Nichole says
I’m pretty much obsessed with Moscow Mules lately <3 Looks like a great weekend!
Jaelan @ Making Mrs. M says
I am completely swooning over that copper mug. I wanted to pick one up this weekend… found a set at Home Goods. $15/each!! AND AT HOME GOODS, EVEN!? I was flabbergasted.
Anyway, that was besides the point. Your weekend looks like an absolute blast!
Ashley says
That Violet Ray bag is so fun and looks like such great quality! I will 100% pay a little more for something made in the USA, so I love that this is a domestic made option!
Annie Thompson says
So intrigued by Ditto! I am so bored with my current pair that I have had for over two years! And I have always wanted to try Karen Walkers out! I picked up the same scarf at Target–such a steal!

Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says
Every time you head to Universal I think about how I want to take a trip and go there with the kiddies! Soon… Soon! Grey booties are on point, I love my pair because they go with everything. I saw Bruno Mars at a Fashionably Loud event back in 2011 and was so not thrilled to see him in the ticket… But that man took the stage and was AMAZING. He played his own instruments, danced and sang better live than on the radio. I bet Jason was like that, huh?
Caroline @ Windy City Chic says
Jason Derulo kind of reminds me of Usher! I think that he is really good and I want to know what his workout consists of. Speaking of, I read that he taught a cardio class at a gym. Could you imagine walking into that class? Haha. LOVE that burgundy RM bag, your fringe bag is fab, and love that plaid scarf!! It also looks like you had a fun weekend too. I’m glad! I hope that you have a lovely day today too. :-)
Meghan says
Looks like such a fun weekend! Checking out the Rebecca Minkoff sale now. Also so exciting that you saw Jason Derulo…he sounds like he gives a great concert! I hope you have a great week!
Ashley @ The Wandering Weekenders says
I’m dying to visit the new Harry Potter park! We went two years ago when it was under construction, and I’ve been meaning to make it back there! From the pictures, it looks amazing! It’s finally starting to feel like fall in Texas, so my fingers are crossed that it it’ll stay that way!
Helene in Between says
So I Love Jason DeRulo. Love him. Looks like you had a fab weekend and so glad to hear the weather was treating your right!!

Nadine says
Ahhhhh I want to go to Harry Potter world!!!! That concert looks like it was a lot of fun too! I need to get better about checking snaps. I think I only checked them on Sunday so probably missed a lot. I need to get to Target to get a blanket scarf….I am just trying to decide if I will wear it or not. I have several scarves that never see any wear because I hate things around my neck like that but I really want to wear them. The struggle!!!

HP world looks so fun!! loving your shoes :) xo jillian – cornflake dreams

I get so jealous every time I see that you’re at Harry Potter World! I still have YET to go and am a huge HP nerd. Love those Joie botties you’ve been rocking ;)

I so want to go to Hogwarts for a visit. :) I’ve heard it’s awesome. Target is on point with their scarves right now. Love that one! And it snowed here this weekend. I was bundled up at the game on Sunday like a marshmallow. Can’t believe you guys are just starting to cool down.
Alyssa @ Alyssa with an A says
