In case you missed it, this week we really kicked off Summer with
our TBB ASKS Link-Up on Monday. I loved reading all the Summer Loves of my fellow
friends. I am so happy it is another sweet Summer Friday!
Let's share some Favorites!

Lisa from Daily Style Finds
I swear my dear friend and
Blogger Lisa, should be a personal shopper. This girl showcases all of her wonderful
fashion finds on her Blog almost on the daily, often finding the best sales. She is so up to
date on fashion, trends and styles and has been aspiring tirelessly to create her
own clothing line. This is no easy feat and trust me when I say, you’d love her
designs and tastes. Not only is she stylish, she is one of the sweetest people
you’ll ever meet and happens to be one of my TBB sisters whom I got the honor
of rooming with in Toronto. There, we found so much in common. From both being
only children to living in neighboring states, right down to driving the same
make and model of car! Go check out her awesome BLOG, I know you’ll come away with
style ideas and maybe some blogger blame purchases, lol! HERE is one of Lisa's most favorite looks she has put together!

2. Pool News
Well, the concrete is poured, water and is in, electrical and gas hooked up. Just waiting on salts, chemical balance and auto cover..we’re so close, maybe this weekend but darn Mother Nature says rain. I did plant my window boxes and got excited when they installed a dial for the LED light package in the pool. There are a bazillion lighting options even one called “romance” and one called “party!” lol.
Our Built-In Pool boys who work for the company in the Summer! How funny as they happened to dress exactly alike on this day, had to get a pic!

All
we’ll have left is landscaping, the back yard grass and sod, sprinklers installed and a Jimmy
Buffet Margarita maker purchased, lol!

5. Misc. Fun
MOM DAY
Now that mom is retired she can really enjoy fun summer weekdays with me and friends. She is a beach, lake and pool girl too so Wednesday we headed to a favorite Lake Michigan spot for rooftop dining, including the BEST fish tacos, yummy cocktails, a long walk and trips to cool home décor stores and a farmer’s market! It was a gorgeous day!
MY ROSES
My landscaper is amazing, he has a very keen eye and just knew I'd love these roses. They are the prettiest peachy/light coral and I have 10 of them..all full of dozens of blooms and they smell amazing!

Your pool house is so darn cute! I love the window boxes and the little seating area outside! Hopefully the forecast is wrong and the rain stays away for you! I know that Lake Michigan spot...wishing I were there right now!
ReplyDeleteOh boy that pool house is fantastic! You are going to have the best party house. Love the sweet picture of your cute boys too!!!
ReplyDeleteYour day out with your precious mom sounds like the most perfect day, all the things I'd want to do in a day.
You are a beauty in that coral drop waist dress my friend - so pretty on you! And those roses - oh my goodness, gorgeous!!!
Love ya!

Woo hoo for the pool!! I love that you got a margarita machine! I love all of your outfits for the week, so cute. Rooftop fish tacos sound so good right now.
ReplyDeleteThe pool and pool area are gorgeous! I’m sure it’s so hard to be patient now. The coral dress is adorable and that’s your color!
ReplyDeleteOh that pool set is looking glorious. I'd pop over to celebrate with you but fear I may cause a tsunami!
ReplyDeleteNow just what are you doing to me, young lady? I had my weekend outfits planned, I was totally in control of my own wardrobe, but now I've seen you in all your cool coralness and now I have to stop what I'm doing, go search out my coral jersey dress and party like Mrs Nine; Wishing you a swimmingly good weekend, who cares about a few drops of rain - you're going to get wet anyway, x.
No surprise that I stole your coral look, darling, posted today! Hope you're OK with that. Hugs and thanks for the inspo, Mary x.
DeleteOMG your pool is going to be AMAZING!!! So jealous!!! Ugh yeah rain here too all weekend, boo!! So fun having your Mama to hang out with!!
ReplyDeleteYour boys are the cutest! Love that you've got live-in pool boys haha!! And you and your mom are the cutest! I'm so glad she's retired now so y'all can hang out during the day! So glad your pool and backyard are getting close to being finished. Are y'all doing a saltwater pool? Dustin and I discussed putting in a pool at our home (and ultimately decided to wait until we build our next home) but I told him I wanted saltwater because I've heard such great things about it! Have a wonderful Friday, my friend!!

Oh, sweet friend! I've never seen a cuter pool house in all my days!! I love every last detail from the adorable seating area to the beautiful window boxes! It's absolute perfection! That along with the new pool and all the fun lighting options to come - sounds like PLENTY of fun in the sun for many sweet summer seasons to come! How fun that your "pool boys" were matching! Your posts, much like you, always make me smile! So happy for you with this new addition to your home so close to completion!! Hope the weekend to come, rain or shine, is a beautiful one for you! xoxo!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished pool! I know you will love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the sweet feature! I love that you and your mom headed to the beach in the middle of the week. And, lastly, it is so funny to see your boys wearing Birkenstocks - those were my go-to shoes in college - and now they are back again!

ReplyDeleteThe pool is soooooooo close! Congrats to your mom on her retirement and now you'll have somebody to enjoy that pool with during the summer 💛 that rose is beautiful too! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting about the pool. I'll take a margarita, yes please! How cute are the boys in the matching outfits down to their Birks! I love your pool house and the window boxes look great! I'm obsessed with gingham too! You always look so cute & styling in your outfits. Dining on Lake Michigan with Mom sounded like fun! Fingers crossed for no rain this weekend for you guys. We're expecting some too.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh your pool area is to die for! I am just going to invite myself on up. Those window boxes are so cute! Light package??? You just spoke Chris's love language. That boy lives for some lights. Enjoy it! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it all.
ReplyDeleteYay, yes, Lisa has gotten me to buy a bunch of stuff too, she's such an enabler! Your pool looks great, and the roses, I don't know how our gardener does it either, the roses are so pretty and we get several blooms a year. Happy Weekend lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great picture of you and Lisa- you both give me bangs envy! That pink gingham top is definitely going on my wish list-- so perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteThe pool house looks great! That pink gingham top is very cute and perfect for any summer occasion!

I love the ruffled edges of the rose, and the color too! I know you're enjoying having your pool boys around for the summer!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I just want to sit in your backyard and enjoy the pool and those flowers! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pool house, and I love all your outfits. The floral dress is especially pretty. In stunned you have a landscaper! Lucky you! I break my back in the garden every day. I enjoy gardening but wouldn't mind some help once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI love that you and your mom got together for a lovely rooftop lunch; how fun!
ReplyDeleteI almost got that gingham top but ended up passing because I wasn't sure if it would wrinkle. Now I am regretting it. I can't wait to see it on you! Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVicky looks beautiful as always and I'm so glad that you girls can get together for drinks during the day! Wish I could join you! The pool is looking AWESOME, girl!! Eek! I'm so excited for you, but darn Mother Nature! Don't you just love "built in pool guys"? Happy Friday, Love!
ReplyDeleteLove the pool house and the window boxes. Too cute! And, mother/daughter time, the best!!!! Have a great weekend and I do hope the weather cooperates.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting the pool is almost finished and that your boys were part of the process. You and your Mom are the prettiest most fun duo! Glad you're getting to spend lots of time with her. Coral looks fabulous on you and I think it's one of "my colors" too, so I hear from people along with other pink tones. I can't wait to wear the dress you gifted me for my cousin's wedding in July. I've been waiting for a special occasion for so long! Enjoy the weekend my lovely friend! Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteCan t wait to see the pool area when it is ready! Have a great weekend!

I loved that cute little gingham top. I really forgot about it until today and saw that it was marked down to $19.50. I stopped by our outlet mall to see if they had it. Yes! The cashier wanted to charge me $40.00 but I told her on the web it was listed at $19.50. She gave me the online price. Score!
