FRIDAY FAVORITES....ME AND YOU EDITION

"Me and You!" That Kenny Chesney song is our wedding song and tomorrow is our Anniversary! We’ve had a lot of heavy stuff going on lately, but my man is a rock and a sweetheart....Mr. Nine...My definite Favorite! And let’s get to all the other goodies too! I've got it packed full of goodness today Kicking off this fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

Bonus: Our Anni Fun
We’re going to celebrate our Anniversary in style in a beloved Lake Michigan town at a fabulous little boutique bed-and-breakfast! Here is a picture of it. It was voted best of the best on TripAdvisor, in other words, in the top 1% of the worlds accommodations and voted one of the most romantic! If you follow me on Instagram, I’ll be sure to share some goodness and Instagram stories.
We will be in the Guest Manor on the Left.


1. Day with Mom

My mom and I had the best day on Tuesday! It was a hot but beautiful and breezy day. We started off having brunch in a nearby town at a place called the Chicory CafĂ©! It’s New Orleans inspired and oh so yummy! We even had warm beignets with our cappuccinos and Mimosa’s! Look how cute mom looked in her little striped top! Afterwards, we changed clothes and walked the town’s Riverwalk! It was more than we ever imagined, and we saw so many cool things, lots of pretty perennial flowers, sculptures, little gnome villages around trees and even a mini-Cooper mounted sideways on the side of a building! Plus, we got in about 4 miles! Then, we came back and had a pool afternoon! Love these days!






2. Promos of Goodness
The Hotel Collection 

These Candles are heavenly. The new Gatsby Line is especially divine, very aromatic for both women and men alike, it will make you want to sip champagne in a dimly lit lounge listening to swanky music. Not just candles, but reed dossiers, oil diffusers and room spray too! Very reminiscent of the Roaring twenties and GREAT gift idea. I’ll be lighting one for our Anniversary!

I have a 20% off code for you!!

Magic 
Spoon
Magic indeed! I was skeptical. I have been seeing this Magic Spoon cereal everywhere and it absolutely lives up to the hype! I adore cereal but I don’t buy it or eat it very often because of all the artificial flavors and sugars and bad stuff for you! But this Magic Spoon has made me love eating cereal again! Zero sugars in all of their cereals. Grain free, gluten-free, soy free, GMO, let’s just say it has none of the bad stuff but is chocked full of protein! Like 14 grams a serving! The frosted and the peanut butter are my favorites and I love you that you can get a variety pack to try it. AND that you can build your own bundle which I am doing next.
I have a $5 off code for you!!

4. Me and You In Liverpool

You know I love it when Mr. Nine joins me in collaborations! We were both over the moon to get some cuteness from Liverpool Jeans! Not only are our jeans from Liverpool, but my beautiful coral and soft Jean jacket and white blouse is as well! Mr. Nine put on his first pair of jeans and said I am in love! He is very picky about his jeans, but these checked off every box for him and I’m telling you, your husband would love them! My frayed him hugger jeans fit me perfectly as well! I love everything they have to offer!

NATURE

Of course, more nature round our house to be had. 

 

These Hibiscus..pretty evident that their name of “Fiesta” lives up. Don’t these colors just look like a Mexican party!


There are 3 families of Geese around the pond right now and this Geese parent was telling her Goslings to "hurry up!" Probably because the Nine lady was approaching, lol!

Have a great Memorial Day

THE CUTEST T-SHIRT DRESSES

These 3 T-Shirt dresses are my go-to pieces! At $15 a pop, even less with your Target red card, I cannot tell you how often I reach for these when trying to decide what to wear! Dress up, dress down, and always receiving compliments every time I wear them.


I especially love throwing on sneakers and a ball cap and heading out. So easy breezy and the soft T-shirt material is so comfortable.

 

Stripes

Stripes are generally always a good idea on T-shirt dresses! The simple Blue Stripe adds the perfect touch are there’s so many accessory options possible. I just jazzed it up for the upcoming summer holidays with some red and this might be my favorite, Mr. Nine loves this outfit!


DRESS HERE // CAP HERE // SNEAKERS HERE // NECKLACE HERE // EARRINGS HERE

 

Color

You know me, I love color! A great color T-shirt dress is also a good idea. This is the exact same style as the striped one and oh so adorable! I also love throwing a Jean Jacket on with these!

Ruffle Details

Ok, let me tell you about This One! When it’s even a little warmer, forget the Jean jacket because you want the cap sleeve ruffles to show off the perfect detail on this one! I love the length and I love the color options! Of course, this royal blue caught my eye which looks great with both bright colors of course you can make it patriotic as well!


DRESS HERE // EARRINGS HERE // SANDALS HERE // NECKLACE 


I seriously cannot say enough about the versatility, affordability and cuteness of T-shirt dresses! Do you own one or even more than one?

FRIDAY FAVORITES...USA EDITION

Did someone just say Memorial Day and the end of May is next weekend? And per usual unpredictability, Indiana went right from winter to summer this week with almost 90° temps!


1. Sunday Funday

We were not in the 90’s quite yet last weekend but that didn’t stop Mr. Nine and I from getting in the pool at 72° air temp. Thank goodness for the heater. My Mr. Nine has had quite a lot on his mind these past couple weeks and he needed that relaxation!

We even talked about maybe having an 80’s themed dance party this summer!



2. Rituals

I love getting new body creams, shower gel and body scrubs. Rituals offers the best smelling, luxurious products at such a great price point! The packaging is gorgeous, and the scent of The Ritual of Karma line is Holy Lotus and Organic White Tea. It is so refreshing, and they have great gift sets too.

Really good price points for this Luxury and you can get it at Sephora.

I'm loving the Body CreamBody Scrub and Shower Gel


3. Week's Attire

These first two I purchased from two great lines at Walmart and are absolutely adorable! Would make perfect outfits for Memorial Day and the 4th!! Wal-Mart delivers in 2 days!!

4. USA Americana Look

With Memorial Day next weekend and of course Fourth of July right around the corner, it’s time to pull out all the Americana gear! This USA Sweatshirt is from Target, only $20 and oh my goodness is it ever SOFT!!!

Wednesday ~ Always Eyeing Eyelet



NATURE

Always nature to behold round these parts


BLUE HERON 

The Blue Heron that comes to the pond every spring and summer never ceases to amaze me! I start snapping away and I’m always happy when I can get a picture of him in flight!


DAISIES
Last Fall, my mom told me about a new proven winner perennial that she knew I would want to have. They are called Daisy Mae just like our beloved doggie that passed away two summers ago. I have always loved daisies and they already have so many blooms on them!



GEESE FAMILY

Have you ever heard a Goose hiss? They are fierce protectors of their babies, which I love. We have a couple sets of geese families around the pond and they protect their babies so well, always hissing at me when I walk by. I told them to “relax I’m not going to hurt their precious babies!”

Have a great weekend sweets!!

ALWAYS EYEING EYELET

I think I have loved eyelet my entire life! Last year I started seeing a lot more of it but this year it is everywhere! I think it is so feminine and sweet for little girls, young women, middle-age women and old alike! Today, I have three adorable eyelet tops I’m sharing with you but I’m not gonna lie, these aren’t the only three I’ve gotten for the season.

 

You may have seen me mention in my Instagram stories that I had not been happy with The Loft this year. Well, that changed when I walked in and saw the displays of magenta and orange when I was returning that yellow tent of a dress! I am especially drawn to magenta and I have several pairs of shoes in this color so the smocked neckline magenta eyelet top was a given!

This Top is sooooo good! AND it’s 50% off right now with Code: CUTE



 Top HERE // Jeans HERE // Sandals Similar HERE // Sunnies HERE // Earrings HERE

What’s so funny is when I ordered that horrible Yellow Dress, I was pleasantly surprised with the Back Eyelet Top I got. I will wear this tons, with white jeans, regular jeans and shorts with my Tory Burch Miller Sandals! These two tops are my favorite things I’ve gotten from the loft in a really long time!



Top HERE // Jeans HERE // Sandals HERE // Necklace HERE // Sunnies HERE

And this one......definitely MINT marvelous! I have been drawn to mint. I shared this Flutter Eyelet Top with you before and it comes in some other pretty colors too but I just love the way the flutter sleeves fall! 

AND it's only $20!!! 

It’s such a rich shade of mint. I’ve not been finding a lot of tops at Target this spring either but this one is perfect enough to get me through!



Top HERE // Jeans HERE // Necklace HERE// Earrings HERE// Sandals Similar HERE

 

This probably won’t be the last of eyelet you see from me and let me know if you like it as well. I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
