1. First College Apartment
So, the reason I was off blog land the end of last week was our oldest did a transfer orientation to IU and we went and saw his first college apartment he will be moving into in the Fall. He changed majors to Intelligent Systems Engineering and the IU campus has so much more to offer. Plus, he can walk to the stadium. Tailgate parties at his place, lol

2. Our Niece and her BF
I'm going to brag on our beautiful niece and her sweet boyfriend. They just graduated from Cardinal Ritter in Indianapolis and this Fall, she will be attending Xavier University. He will attend Easter Illinois on a baseball scholarship. Just this past weekend, Blake and his team won state! Our niece was unable to be there and had to listen to the game because she is on a field experience doing lots of fun stuff including......
....Hiking in Colorado!!! Love this girl!

Bonomo's Turkish Taffy
I always think of Narnia, ya know, "The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe" and the Turkish Delight when I think Taffy. My mom told me about the amazing Taffy from Bonomo's so I bought her a 3lb bag to share with me. Next up I want to try my other favorite flavor: Vanilla!

Your son's apartment is amazing, let me tell you the townhouse Nolan is moving to in the Fall at UF is so old, it reminds me of Melrose Place,lol! Your niece is just adorable, I'll bet you're proud of her. And speaking of adorable, how cute are you in that slouchy sweatshirt, it's sad to admit but I don't even own a sweatshirt. Can you believe that? I wanted to get one from UF last year and never did and then I just forgot. Maybe I'll get a cute one this year! Have the best weekend gorgeous!

That looks like some pretty nice digs where your son will be living. I'd say he's a lucky guy! Ok, that sweatshirt is cute, but the pants are super cute. Perfect lounging outfit for a night at the beach. You are just so darn precious! And you get a gold star for having a garage sale...UGH. We tried that a few times and they were such a flop. I hope you are one of those people who has great success with it. I'm quite sure you probably are. Have a great weekend beautiful friend! XO
ReplyDeleteThat apartment looks amazing!! I looooove me a slouchy sweatshirt, I seriously wore them non stop in high school and am so glad its making a comeback! Also, I WANT those striped pants!! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteJouer is one of my favorites! I have some of their fall colors and a deep red, but I've been looking for a nude, everyday color so I will check this out! Your son's apartment is so nice! Doesn't even look like college! Perfect for tailgating, too! Happy Friday, Andrea!

YAY for your son's first college apartment!!
ReplyDeleteThat beach sweatshirt is SO CUTE!!
That apartment building looks great! I bet he is going to love it and the location too. Your Narnia reference left a smile on my face. I think the girls and I are going to tackle reading the Narnia series through our next school year. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteYour son's college apartment looks SO nice--my little townhouse at Clemson has such a dump haha! That Jouer lip topper looks GORGEOUS--I have been wanting to try their metallics! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

What a fabulous first apartment! Love the slouchy beach sweatshirt too. Oh, and taffy so reminds me of summers at the beach.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, so much fun stuff! Your son's apartment looks nice! Have fun at the wedding and getting the house ready. Having a house on the market is no fun, but the new place will be worth it!
ReplyDeleteLove the new apartment! It's so crazy how nice some college apartments are these days! My mom always said the condos I lived in were nicer than our own home haha! And love all of your work outfits! You look so cute....as always!!!

That's such a bummer about the rain, but at least you still have many more opportunities for beach days this summer! That's so exciting about your son's first apartment, and even better that it's within walking distance of the stadium!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute apartment for him! Also- I'm intrigued about your pre-moving garage sale...I wonder if I should do the same. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove that last meme- I believe I should LIVE at the beach! Your son's new apartment is adorable- they didn't have cute places like that when I was in college! It is definitely hard to start over somewhere new, but it is worth it if this new college has exactly what you need for your future. Hope you have a great weekend- sorry you're having to miss out on the beach!
ReplyDeleteSo much to love! Congrats to your niece and how sweet of a college apartment is that! LOL at a great tailgate party spot. He's in for a fantastic year! Happy Friday <3

ReplyDeleteI love a good slouchy sweatshirt. I just bought a Captain America one on clearance this morning at Kohl's ;)
That college apartment looks awesome! And I am loving that dress from TJ Maxx. Boo on no beach time. Hope you have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice looking college apartment, nothing like the dregs I had to live in back in the day! Sorry the weather cancelled your beach time, but hey getting closer to moving time! That slouchy sweatshirt looks so cute and comfy! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour son is going to have lots of fun at that apartment! LOL! How exciting for him though! And your niece and her bf!! So much love I can see :) I hope you have a great weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous first place for college! Loving all of your fun looks girlie! Have a great weekend.

First apartments are so exciting! Blah...I finally gave up on the garage sale and hauled everything to GW last week. It's too dang hot already here and I could not bare to see my garage such a mess any longer. You sweet niece..I would SO love to be hiking in CO right about now. Have a super weekend Andrea!
ReplyDeleteThose apartments look SO nice. College student housing has come a long way, hasn't it? Haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd girl, you always pick out the BEST graphic tees and sweatshirts! I want every single one of these that you posted!
That is exciting about your son's transfer! Loving all your attire for this week. Fun 4th of July inspiration!

Congrats to your son! That apartment looks really nice! I really really love that off the shoulder star sweatshirt.
ReplyDeleteUmmm that apartment looks way nicer than the ones I had to live in back in the day!!! Congrats to him! Love the beach please shirt!!! And that taffy sounds wonderful!!! One of my fave youtubers was raving about the joer lip topper in skinny dip (I think?) since they have your seal of approval too, I'm getting it next Sephora order!!! Have a great weekend love!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely apartment for your son, Andrea. These things play such a big part in helping them produce their best at university :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pad Baby Nine will have come this fall! Toga! Toga! I really think we need to chaperone a home game weekend, don't you?! HA! Enjoy your weekend! It's raining all weekend here, too, due to tropical storm Cindy, but all is good! Hope you make it to the beach soon and give your beautiful mom a kiss for me!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely apartment!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting for your eldest boy doing big things in college! The apartment looks so cute and I'm sure he's excited that the stadium is so close. Love the beach please sweater! Sounds like you have some fun weekend plans. The brunch wedding sounds fun..Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteEmily @ Martinis & Bikinis
How fun that he will be in walking distance of the stadium! You look great in that slouchy sweatshirt. I need to get my hands on one of those.

Fantastic looking apartment block, lucky son. Your niece is so pretty and looks,such fun. Looking cute in your off the shoulder slouch number. Hope you got to the beach over the weekend. I didn't :-(. It didn't rain but it tried to.
ReplyDeleteAre turkish taffy's similar to salt water taffies? We eat them by the ton over here. And um....that apartment is insane!! I hope he gets right into the swing of things at his new school. If he inherited any of your personality he will have truckloads of friends by day 1.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Turkish Taffy's!! I wonder what they taste like? I'm assuming they're a very sweet candy?
ReplyDeleteLove all your outfits - even the totally relaxed one (how I love to be in the evenings lol!).
I hope you have a wonderful friend, gorgeous gal!

Your son's apartment building is so nice. Those were not there when my step-daughter went there over twenty years ago. Southern Living magazine has listed the IU campus as the most beautiful campus in Indiana. I'm sure Purdue and Notre Dame fans will disagree. We used to buy salt water taffy at the State Fair. Is Turkish taffy similar? Your niece is adorable...good family genes...ha! Love the beach shirt... xoxo
