Happy Fabulous Friday friends. Today marks the annual Picking Posies outting with my sweet mom where we go to about every area greenhouse to gather our flowers for the season and come home and plant, plant. plant. With the next 2 months being crazy busy for me with A Garage Sale, Proms and Kids graduating, I am scaling back a tad. Well, I say that until I get there and burst with excitement and my green thumb starts calling. I hope your last weekend of April is full of green, sunshine and so much fun!!
1. My Featured Lady...
Make sure you head over to The Blended Blog to see my piece on my dear Friend LAURA. I'm excited that my first feature is about this incredible beauty!
2. Sweet Tooth
Why oh why was born with such sweet tooth? However, I was certainly happy to indulge that sweet tooth this week for two awesome goodies. See that's the thing, it has to be like the best pie or the best cookie for me to indulge and these were two of the BEST...so I'll add a few more crunches and a few more (try 1000's) steps
Look at this lucious Key Lime Pie mom brought me
(you may remember she makes one for me every year on my birthday but was gone this year so Yep, it was worth the wait!!)
And Let's Not forget the toffee laden goodness of
Just Right Chocolate Chip Cookies from Tuesday's Post
3. Ripped Jeans
I have a couple pairs of jeans with rips here and there but these are my first pair to really be ripped up. Sweet Emily from Martinis & Bikinis featured her love of these mid-rise Jeggings from Express and I am in love too. Jazzed them up for the first night of wear with a blazer and Barcelona Cami, both from Express..
Other ripped up goodness
4. Pineapple Doormat
5. Grad Dress HELP.....
Really friends, I seriously need your help. All 6 of these dresses may have went home with me because I cannot for the life of me decide which one to wear to my son's graduation...I am not good at even dressing room selfies but Help a sista out and tell me your favorite or favs as I may need a couple for parties, awards nights, etc...

ReplyDeleteI say the striped dress is the best - love it!
ReplyDeleteYour ripped jeans look great and I LOVE the pineapple doormat! I think I'll be adding that to my Target shopping list!
ReplyDeleteI vote polka dots for graduation!
Have a beautiful weekend!
That pineapple doormat is so cute! Those ripped jeans look amazing on you! I vote for the first dress with the stripes! Have a wonderful weekend!

I like the striped and the cobalt dresses. I love that doormat too. I need to get planting too. I am ready for some color! If only we could find a spare hour or two to rub together! Have a wonderful weekend, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I want that doormat!! So cute. I really like the first dress! Have a super weekend lady.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun outing with your mom! That's such a great idea! I LOVE all your graduation dress choices so much but I think that either the neon or cobalt are my favorite!! Happy Friday lady!

Yum that key lime pie looks amazing!! And I love your ripped jeans!

The coral lace or the cobalt dress would look beautiful, although all of these look soo cute on you! :) Also that doormat is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLoving the pineapple doormat! I am in need of a new one so I think I may be heading over to Target to see what I can find! I say either the striped dress or neon dress (or keep this one for a fun dinner/trip??) for your sons graduation. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteAll the dress you picked are such pretty colors! I love the coral lace and the cobalt blue! Cobalt always looks so good on blondes :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Andrea!

I love those distressed jeans!! Also- I have never tried key lime pie. Intrigued
ReplyDeleteFirst off, LOVE your outfit with the distressed jeans!!! You look amazing!! Moving on... haha. I love the cobalt blue dress and the floral dress. Both of them look great on you even though it's just a dressing room selfie. :-) That key lime pie also looks so delicious. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOMG that doormat is adorable!!! Now I may have to go and get that, at least for our back deck! I love it!!! The ripped jeans look I love, I just can't seem to make myself buy a pair. Maybe one day! And yes to the key lime pie. Gimme gimme!! Have a great weekend!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm going to break from the rest, I love the polka dot dress. I guess for me I think graduations are more formal, serious events, they aren't cocktail parties.(although cocktails may be included in the parties after/around) That dress is classy, respectful, yet fun. The others are fun and flirty (especially the striped one which is my 2nd choice) but I think the polka dress would put you in the classy mom category. Good luck with your choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the shout-out, Sista! I left you a comment about BIG HAIR on The Blended Blog. Have I told you lately that you're the best!? Well, you are! As for dresses, I'm liking the striped and the cobalt. If that neckline is what I think it is on the cobalt, I think you should totally go for it because it will show off one of your best features! Can't wait to read about which one you decide on! Have an awesome weekend. You and your precious mom plant some flowers for me because if I even TOUCH a plant, it will surely die! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dot and the blue dress!!!!
ReplyDeleteJaymie
I like the neon and cobalt blue one because I feel like they are more you but I think they ALL look great on you!
ReplyDeletethat pineapple mat is adorable!!! I want one!!!

You look gorgeous as ever in those ripped jeans and wear them so well! Love it! I am digging the striped and floral dresses...all look great, but those are my favorite. I'm sure you'll pick a beautiful one for the special celebration. Enjoy your lovely weekend friend!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the polka dot dress - perfect for graduation and if the event is outside - wear a hat!
ReplyDeleteYour friend Laura is the cutest, Andrea! I will be sure to check out her blog -- and I'm with you on ripped denim! They are the best!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy Weekend!

Okay, for the dresses I love the cobalt, coral lace and stripes. All great choices though! I am LOVING ripped jeans right now and so is my daughter! That pineapple doormat is adorable! Great price, too! Have a great weekend love!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your dresses but I really love the polka dot one! It looks so good on your figure!

I feel you on the sweet tooth...I hate it and it doesn't help that chocolate is like a drug! You can't have just a piece...you gotta have it all! I'm excited to try the cookie recipe soon...I pinned it and can't wait to whip some up! Love those ripped jeans, Andrea!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh...all of those dressed look fabulous on you...but I would say for graduation, perhaps the coral lace or cobalt dress? And for a party the neon dress would be fun! Can't wait to see what you go with!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, gorgeous!

Where did you get that gorgeous polka dot dress! I need that right now in my closet! Pick that one a hundred times over! I think I like the top row of dress best, any one of them would be great for summer events! And yay for your first feature, headed off over there to check her out!
ReplyDeleteThe striped dress hands down wins IMHO for graduation dress! I LOVE key lime pie and made my husband get me one at this BBQ place here that also has a dessert shop on my birthday last August. I may need another one for my birthday this year!

Definitely not the coral lace or the neon. I would go for striped, polka dot, or floral, in that order.
ReplyDeleteI love the doormat! I'm sure it makes you smile every time you enter the house!
ReplyDeleteAll the dresses are great! I think I like the polka dot dress and the coral lace one best.
Have a wonderful weekend, Andrea!

I like either the polka dots or the coral lace for your son's graduation! They are the most classic looks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun annual tradition to keep up! We plan on doing some landscaping and planting this weekend but my green thumb has never been on point. LOVE the jeans on you!!! Aren't they so comfortable. I just love that distressed look and I love how you dressed it up with a blazer. Amazing outfit!!
ReplyDeleteOoh striped or floral dress (although you do no wrong in anything you put on!). Key lime pie is my faaaaavorite! Your mama's recipe would be amazing I feel quite confident. Have so much fun with the flower shopping and planting!
ReplyDeleteI love all the dresses too, but my vote is for either the coral lace or the cobalt ones.. those colors are just so pretty! I was blessed/cursed with a BIG sweet tooth too and now that I'm pregnant it's getting pretty ridiculous. Have a great weekend Andrea!
ReplyDeleteAll those dresses are super cute! My favorites are the cobalt, floral, and polka dot!
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dot and the cobalt dresses the best for a graduation! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't have too much of a sweet tooth but I make up for it with incessant cravings of nachos and fries! Ugh, the struggle is real. LOVE those jeans, you look great!
ReplyDeleteAll of those dresses are so pretty but I really love the lace and the neon dresses! Desserts are always so good, and oh my goodness, that key lime pie your mom made looks so delicious! I wouldn't have been able to turn down 1 or 3 slices! I hope you're having a fantastic Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting back into blogging after a 3 year hiatus & Laura sent me over. Isn't she the best Bloggy friend ever!?! Lovin your blog & the ripped jeans! I have the boyfriend cut from American Eagle & they are so comfortable!!! I worry about pulling them off at my age but they feel so good who cares! As for the dresses, I like the polka dot one for graduation & the neon for a party, it really sets off your tan! Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm I really love the floral and the cobalt dresses for graduation type events. The striped dress is fun for a Saturday out or something. The neon dress is summer event perfection if you have a BBQ or something coming up. I really REALLY want key lime pie now, so umm I am blaming any future binge all on you. Hope you have a great weekend!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are really awesome favorites! I love those baked goodies! =)

I'm having the same problem - no idea what to wear to graduation, etc, etc... My favorites are polka dot, cobalt, and floral. But honestly, you look great in all of them. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood morning beautiful blog buddy! I was born with a set of sweet teeth too and sadly I'm going to calm those things down over the month of May - hello sugar detox. I'm scared! Key Lime Pie is my weakness! Actually Key Lime anything! That door mat - swoon! And girl those dresses! My favorites are the top three!!! Let me send you my address and you can just let me borrow them?!?! Love you bunches! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really love the first two dresses. I can totally understand buying all the dresses. Now you'll at least have more for other occasions!

I love jeans with rips, and I have a huge sweet tooth! Totally with you on this post.

I have sweet teeth, too :)
ReplyDeleteThe pie and cookies look so good!
I personally love the Striped the best. Floral would be second. Coral Lace for a more upscale event and the Polka Dot would be cute for a cookout. I don't care for the neon or cobalt.
ReplyDeleteLove the ripped jeans. And a big thank you for the recipes. Yummmm!

Love the polka dot dress followed by the striped dress. All are pretty, though.
ReplyDeleteOh so tough picking just one dress! I like the cobalt blue one, floral one and polka dot one on you, they are all really nice!
ReplyDeleteAway From The Blue Blog
That polka dot dress is perfection! Definitely my favorite, but you look great in all of them!
ReplyDeleteCoral lace and floral are my top two picks!
ReplyDelete~Sheila
You picked the best choice with the polka dots for the occasion. Years from now when you look at the pictures the classic look will still be in style and you look so nice in it too.
