FRIDAY FAVORITES...SUNFLOWER EDITION

Anybody else have a hard time getting it in gear this week? I sure have! I am excited about our day trip to a couple college campuses tomorrow to get grad photos. This is been a long time coming and the campuses should be pretty empty but because college towns are hotspots, we are not eating out anywhere and will pack a cooler for drinks. Let’s get to a rejuvenating weekend so that next week will be better than this one!

1. Sunflower Field
Last September, my mom and I went to a local sunflower field for the first time and got some photos. Our kids were excited to get some photos with professional photographer friends and I tagged along and had the kids take a few pictures of ole mom! I was telling them; the funny thing is this first season of blooms is only a third of the size of how tall they are when they bloom in September. I can’t wait to go back. But I do love how these pictures turned out!

2. All-American
It seems like these days, Mr. Nine and I are having a hard time finding a TV series to binge that we are enamored with! Most of the ones we’ve watched lately have been just so so and don’t always keep my attention. Enter this CW show That we’ve been watching on Netflix called All American! It’s loosely based on a true story, very relevant to present day and we love it! I don’t know what it is that’s why I always love these shows resolve revolving around high schoolers, LOL! There’s been two seasons released so far with 16 episodes a season and the great thing is season 3 comes out in October.


3. Week's Attire....J.Crew
J.Crew has been having a killer summer sale and I have loved all the pieces I’ve gotten from them. Sharing some of my favorites.

4. Boho Outfit and YES....BOOTS
I know kids, it’s too hot to think about boots. But I am always thinking ahead to the next season and of course contemplating my porch pumpkins! These BOOTS from the Mint Julep Boutique are just too good not to share because there’s such a great price and as good as any that you get in July at the Nordstrom sale! But little did I know, the Nordstrom sale is postponed until next month and many of y’all are saying you’re secretly happy about that because who wants to buy sweaters and boots in July, LOL! And the boots look so cute with the dress!

My flowers bring me joy. Just a sampling here of the front porch, just look at those coleuses and petunias!


And I have been cutting the snowball hydrangeas and bringing them in the house! Perfect vase flowers and they last about 10 days.

  23. Beautiful sunflower pictures, and so many cute outfits. I love those booties too. We love All American. If you like it, you should watch Friday Night Lights. It's basically the same story. FNL is also based on a true story, and I gotta' believe they're the same. Happy weekend. XOXO

  29. How gorgeous are those sunflower pics, and loved seeing your photo shoots of the graduates over the weekend. As for tv shows we've been binging lately while at home - The Crown, The Office (instant mood lifter), and we finally started season 2 of You. It's a psychological thriller, but it ropes you right in. Oh and I just saw that The Last Dance (the documentary about the 90's Chicago Bulls team) is now on Netflix - SO SO SO good <3

  31. Whoa, those front porch flowers are beautiful. They look so pretty and just so inviting. Great job on them Andrea! Those photos you and your boys took at the sunflower fields turned out amazing. I am so glad you guys were able to do that. And I am ready for boots! I am not really a summer fan so I am patiently awaiting boot season! :)
