See that three day weekend coming up?

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!

Sooo…I have this running joke with Molly every time we are traveling and in an airport together that I am going to buy one of those outrageously overpriced neck pillows that they sell in the airport.  I actually have one that’s super cute and pink that I used when I traveled to Italy but somehow it got lost in the shuffle of moving in college, and I definitely do miss it – airplanes are a death sentence to the neck.  I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw that Kate Spade Saturday has an airplane essentials kit in a classicly cool black and white stripe.  This takes the neck pillow to a whole new level and one that I could totally jump on board.  Its no secret that python everything is my best friend, so I had to share when I found the perfect python flat sandal.  I’m not kidding when I say that I probably wear my flat python sandals that I got at Cole Haan a few years ago all. the. time.  The wedges are pretty freaking good too.  It makes for a great neutral and goes with everything.  Madewell’s Embroidered Botanica top isn’t something that I would normally go for, but I was instantly drawn to it when I saw it.  I am picturing wearing it with white shorts and jeans all summer long.  I have yet to find a pair of denim shorts that I love (does anyone else think its hard to find a good fit in these guys?), but these stars would make for the ideal Memorial Day and Fourth of July outfit, no?  Especially with Club Monaco’s Rhonda sweater (strange name for a sweater???).  I love a good short sleeved sweater.  I’ve already purchased one J.Crew swimsuit this season (this one), but I can’t help but love the colors in this one – wondering how that top would fit – anyone tried it??  Their swimsuits are always a go-to for both Molly and me each summer.  A fun new coffee table book is always on the list – I’m really trying to grow my collection as much as I can, and a few red accessories to ease the bold color into my world.  So. Many. Good. Finds.

Some Sales + Steals

APoT_Sales+Steals_130501

Some pretty darn good sale finds this week, friends!  Molly has the above Anthro accordion dress and it is absolutely gorgeous – I couldn’t believe it when I found it on sale, thought it would have surely sold out.  It’s the perfect piece to dress up or down that that you could almost wear year round.  And even though its May, we are expecting temperatures down here in Dallas to get into the 50′s tomorrow  (eek!) so sweaters must not be out of the equation yet?  This Madewell guy made its way into my closet a few weeks ago and I can’t get enough of it.  It’s been perfect to throw on with white jeans or shorts this time of year.  We have both had our eyes on the feminine yet classic J.Crew silk collar tee, so I couldn’t be more excited to see that its on sale.  Not to mention that J.Crew is still running 25% off any purchase from now until Friday, May 3rd.  They’re making it quite hard for me to save my moneys!

P to the S: While browsing Nordstrom last night, I came across these (here and here) insanely cool colored leather jackets by Bernardo that are 50% off.  I want one.  I need one?  Which color do  you favor?  These are kind of everything.  Also.. for anyone looking for summer wedding dresses (black tie or cocktail) I just got a dress on sale from BCBG – they have so many pretty options!

Some Steals:

  • Clockwise from second left: T by Alexander Wang Skirt // J.Crew Silk-collar Tee //  Madewell Sweater // Parker Top // Elizabeth + James Heels // Anthropologie Accordian Midi Dress // Rebecca Minkoff Pouch

Some Sales:

  • Shopbop: New sale and markdown items waiting to be snatched up… (this might be the BEST black and white dress. ever.  But if navy and white is more your speed – try this dress!)
