Pampering Party!

This weekend was so nice and relaxing!

My Mom and Aunts came to visit this past weekend.

Chef Keith, whom my family calls Matthew as in Mathew Stewart (Martha's son) prepared a fabulous meal for us.

He grilled Filet's with Mushrooms and Twice Baked Potatoes and we had ourselves a little patio party.



Don't mind the towel. We had a little rain shower!



Saturday morning we headed out for our day of fun.

Pedicures, Manicure, Lunching, Shopping and Dinner were on the books.

We did some serious shopping from here so this is what we looked like by the day!

 

Sunday was very relaxing!

We had a yummy brunch at my local favorite Pewter Rose

It is the perfect setting for a Ladies Brunch and the menu is amazing.

Good times!

OH SHIFT!

I would say it is a pretty good day if this is the worst thing that happened!



I had been anxiously waiting for this and now it has been postponed. They say they will relaunch at 6:00PM only after they

said it would at 4:00PM also.

I will let you know what I get if they every come on line again!



Guiliana for LOFT!

Guiliana has been busy!

She has partnered up with LOFT and designed a line (pink of course) to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The line was unveiled last night and the stars came out to show their support.

I would have loved to be at this party! 

Of course, they were sporting Pink!

Jennie Garth looks amazing!

The line will make it's debut in the stores

October 1st, which also marks the day of Breast Cancer Awareness month. 

Here is a sneak peak at what the line will look like. 

Guiliana designed this necklace herself for

LOFT

This is perfect timing after last weeks Falling For Pink Post.

I get to buy pink AND support a GREAT cause!

Mark October 1st, on your calendars ladies because these are limited edition items and they won't last long.

My Latest Obsession

No, it is not an outfit, new trend, new pair of hot shoes.

It is this little fella!



Meet Grant Jason!

Born July 30, 2012

8lb 8oz

to one of my Very Best Friends Anna!

He is just two days old in the picture above.

It is amazing how you can love someone so much just becasue they are a part of another person that you love so much!

This sweet boy had my heart before he even made his arrival!

Grant's mom at his Peter Rabbit Baby Shower back in June.





I could not wait to get my hands on Grant!

We spent a few sweet hours together cuddling and smiling!

Stay tuned, I have a niece and a nephew scheduled to make arrivals VERY soon!

Pacos N' Tacos!

I love trying new restaurants!

In fact, there is probably nothing I love more than going out to eat!

I would say it is a hobby, a very expensive one!

A few weeks ago we tried Pacos Tacos & Tequila



What a neat place! It is hidden little gem.

The atmosphere was great. They had a great patio as well.

I am a sucker for a patio. I love to eat outside.

The girls! You can find Dee on the Right over at

Dee's Adventures

You can find Brian on the right over at The Wandering Gourmand

I had the Three Taco Combo. The Brisket Taco was by far my favorite.

This was such a fun outing from the neighborhood where we usually hang!

Blog Date Night

Thank you Dee for organizing such a fun evening.

We met at Dressler's for a drink and headed over 

to La Paz for a yummy Mexican Dinner!

the  important stuff!

Can't wait to do it again soon!





Falling for Pink

If you have been following my blog long, especially this spring, you will know that I was obsessed with Coral.

Don't worry I have not gotten rid of it yet, I am still crushing on it but I am cheating for sure with Pink!

And, not just pink!

BRIGHT PINK!

The greatest thing I love about this bright pink is how amazing it looks with my old flame Coral!

This is like having your cake and eating it too!

Yep, that is indeed a pink and coral cake!

Pink will also be big this fall. It looks just as good paired with leopards and animal prints!

Here is the outfit I put together wearing two of my favorite color crushes.

The outfit above was my inspiration! 

 

What do you think?

 

Are you cheating on coral too?

 

 













Friends with Kids

If you could not tell from some previous posts, a lot of our friends are having

 children-and I mean A LOT!

At one point this year we knew 36 people who were pregnant between the two of us.

WOW!

We are more than excited for them however the timing is just not right for us. We have some traveling and events we want to check off our list before we dive in.

Enough of that!

We thought renting "Friends with Kids" would be fitting.

It was not what I thought it would be but it was a really cute movie.

It is about a group of six best friends. Two  couples have children, the other two are not in a relationship with each other and decide it would be a good idea to have children together since they are getting so old and have not found anyone else. (strange but cute)

It is really interesting to see how different all three couples handle raising their children.

You should check it out from the Red box.

Are any of you ladies that are not pregnant feeling the pressure from the others?

A trip to Wine Country

My oldest and dearest long time friends came up for a weekend and we hit the road north to Shelton Vineyards.

My neighbor Dee  has raved about this place for some time.

After we arrived we headed over to Harvest Grill for a yummy lunch.

We had such a nice lunch outo n the patio while catching up and telling old and funny stories.

If you go you must try the Bruchetta! I loved it so much I had TWO!

Then we headed over for a little wine tasting.

I am not usually a red wine drinker but their Reisling was AMAZING. Not to sweet! It was perfect and only $10 a bottle!

Next on our list is Rafaldini Vineyard!
