I know its only Monday and that we are just coming off of a weekend, but I can’t help but look forward to the upcoming holiday and three day weekend. Please tell me that I’m not the only one? With little to no daytime plans, I have images in my mind of relaxing all day every day. Maybe even getting some pool time with the pups – our favorite warm weather activity. I swear its like I haven’t sat down in weeks and haven’t had a really relaxing weekend in weeks either. We have fun plans for each night of the weekend with a birthday dinner Friday night, a Mexican night Saturday night, and a cook out on Sunday night. All with good friends that I feel like I haven’t seen in ages. Here’s to hoping that this work week flies by so that the much needed three-day weekend gets here soon! Both Molly and I are big fans of dressing festive for the holidays, but not too festive – if that makes sense? We won’t be emblazoning ourselves with American flags head to toe, but we most definitely will be sporting some good ole red, white, and blue throughout the weekend:) I almost purchased that Target bikini the other week, and I might just have to get it this week. Its not too festive that I couldn’t wear it on other occasions and I love the style. Whether you’ll be by a lake, pool, beach, or grill, there’s lots of fun finds for a festive three day weekend. Woop. Woop.
On another note, you can get 50% off Soludos‘ new lace up espadrilles today only with code “luckydaily1″. I think I am going to get these guys!
Is it just me, or does this time of year just seem beyond crazy? We had a wedding this weekend, have one next weekend, and have lots of other little events thrown into the mix as well. Lets just say that our weekends have been pretttyy jam packed. Then there’s graduation. It’s bananas. Shopping for a grad gift that is. To most, finding the perfect gift for a graduate can seem like a daunting task. You want it to be memorable and special, but useful all at the same time. It can’t be a completely random gift, as you want there to be a little bit of meaning behind it. Like, a great canvas weekend bag for visits home if its someone going off to college. Or a fresh set of Biscuit sheets for the college graduate we will most likely be in need of some brand spanking new bed linens. Personalized gifts always fit the bill for a graduate of any age. BaubleBar has darling monogram and initial jewelry that I wouldn’t mind owning myself. You can also find great initial Jewelry boxes, iPad cases, and a Claire Vivier Catch-All for loose change and jewelry. All of which would be useful and special for any graduate. Guys are a little tougher (per usual) when it comes to graduation gifts, but I love the idea of a great watch or a fresh new dop kit – both are things that they most likely won’t be buying for themselves. If all else fails, what guy doesn’t love a good gadget? We’re pretty much obsessed with our UP Bracelets, or an iPad is sure to knock their socks off.
When I graduated from high school 8 years ago (umm scary), my aunt and uncle gifted me a hand-painted ceramic piggy bank and put cash in it (didn’t find that out until years later!). The bank is the type where they only way to get the money out is to smash it. Over the years I have been filling it and filling it with loose change. Just last year I was walking by the bank and the light was shining just right and I noticed that there were some bills in there. Surprise!! Those sneaks. It made me all the more eager to smash that puppy open. I am so close to finally filling the bank to its brim. This JA Donkey Bank is pretty awesome and would be great for the same use. Just think, they’ll think of you every time they add to it:)
Whew! What a day. What a day. One of those long but good, really really good days. So I will make this one short and sweet. Lots of good finds this week and as always too many good sales to count. They need to stop with these darn sales so that my bank account can have a rest. That Anthrodress is amazing…I tried it on back in February when we had our event and it is so different and flattering on. Obviously now that it is on sale, I will probably have to buy it? Its one of those pieces that I know I will get lots of use in for both work and play. Since the Great Gatsby movie comes out this weekend (so so excited!!), I had to include Kate Spade’sGatsby Clutch. I’m off to Chipotle for dinner – the tummy is growling and I literally have zero food. Happy happy Thursday (night) chickens! xx!
