Weekend Vibes and Blue & Cream Introduction

Happy Monday dolls.  Last week was pretty crazy busy so I was really counting down the minutes till the weekend.  Back to work full-time with a little one is definitely exhausting but I am really happy with my current childcare set up.  Plus, Mark usually picks him up early so I don’t have to worry about the mad dash out the door every day.  I do spend a good amount of time cleaning/sanitizing bottles and pump parts.  I am quite the balancer on the drying rack let me tell you.  This weekend I got a ton of work done, we ventured out of the house for some sunshine and good eats.  I also scouted a lot of places for photo ops.  I am fortunate to live close to so many cool spots.  Davis Island which is in Tampa has a lot of history and gorgeous architecture.  Plus, it’s close vicinity to the water.  I have to remind myself I live where so many people vacation, it really is gorgeous down here!

 

I wanted to introduce you to a great new website that I stumbled on.  If you are looking for affordable high-end designers, Blue & Cream is definitely a website you should check out.  Self Portrait is one of my lust designer lines that I just adore.  The price point is a little daunting but Blue & Cream has some of their pieces for half off.  The sizing is a little limited so if you see your size, definitely grab it.  I also really like Helmut Lang and they have a great selection there.  Their Warehouse Sale selection is deeply discounted pieces that you can find a major score on.  I am also very impressed because the Warehouse sale is not from four seasons ago, they have stuff that is still current on other websites.  I scooped up this Self Portrait skirt for a steal!  Isn’t the structure of the lace so pretty?!?

Mules are on sale here!  Very comfortable.

 

We capped off the weekend with a visit to our favorite Bartaco.  I know it seems like it’s the only place we ever go to but I love the management, it’s baby friendly, and they have the best food.  Their new secret taco is a maitake and corn, vegetarian friendly.  It was delicious and now that I’m no longer pregnant, I can partake in the margaritas.  They seriously make the best drinks!

 

I just love being able to spend all this beautiful time with my baby and husband.  Life gets so crazy during the week so I really love soaking up every precious minute and time with them when I can.  Enjoying life right now.  Tell me about your weekend happenings! Linking up with Biana!

    I think BarTaco needs to either give you guys a set table or your own parking spot for how often you’re there LOL! Hope you have a great week ahead! xo, Biana-BlovedBoston

    Bartaco decided to come to Bham and I need to check it out, I still haven’t been. There is a place right down the street from my office that has the best guac ever, so I rarely venture from it. Sounds like you guys had a good weekend. You really do live in a place where most people want to vacation! Gotta soak up all its beauty!
