1. Pearl Stud Earrings

I'll be wearing these Perfect Pearl Stud Earrings

all week long on the beach while I am chillin'! These little stud earrings compliment any Summer outfit and are so darling. These dainty little cuties are sweet, sophisticated and simple. The stunning Akoya Pearls are totally enchanting and luminous in the sunlight especially.

They are perfect for some earring sweetness by the pool or at the beach and the perfect amount of luster. I love these Gorgeous Diamond Studs too.

so cute!

DAY IN THE LIFE

On Monday, on Instagram stories, I shared an ordinary summer day in the life in collaboration with Liverpool!! These are just a couple of the darling Liverpool outfits I wore that day showcasing my best life in good ole’ Indiana! I saved the stories entitled “Day In The Life” in a highlight if you want to check them out in my profile.

This outfit is beyond comfortable, I love the fit and feel of the white tee and these Linen Pants are everything I live for in the summer!

Threw on the cutest white cotton blouse from Liverpool with a hat and jeans to run some errands.

FRIDAY FAVORITES…ON THE ROAD AGAIN

How wonderful to be able to travel again. We still haven’t flown anywhere, nor do we have anything on the books, but you can bet you are all in for road trips! My mom and I did the recent overnight and then we’ll be on the road soon for an annual family vacation. Love love love road trip shenanigans and new adventures! Let's do this... LOTS of the fun Favs!!

 

1. Trip with Mom

My mom and I had the best time on our trip to southern Indiana so I’m breaking it down with day one and day two as it was such a Favorite, LOL! The only thing that wasn’t a favorite and I really should’ve got pictures with how much it was tore up was the road construction, we had to detour four times and the signage was not good, thank goodness for GPS and a nice man at a gas station in a fluorescent vest, LOL!

 

My parents are both from the southern part of the state and it is so much prettier down there than the northern, LOL. We started off with lunch at my Dad’s out in the country. 

Then it was off to the resort. I have been there once before, but I forget how amazing the West Baden springs resort dome is. Such a great story behind it that you can read HERE. We had a room on the highest level of the resort with a beautiful balcony overlooking the dome interior Just gorgeous. I feel like a princess when you’re standing up there.

We walked the beautiful grounds...

....had a cocktail in the atrium.

Then we went back and got ready for dinner at a steakhouse called 1875. Yes, I don’t have a picture of a super yummy filet mignon, sautéed mushrooms and brussels sprouts with bacon! And just look how beautiful mom looked for dinner.

Of course, we had to go into the atrium at night and see the lights, normally they change colors but unfortunately, they were working on it so we only had two colors, LOL

2. More Trip with Mom

This day, it was up and early, they had a Starbucks in the resort so of course I got that, and they had amazing homemade truffles that were so darn cute so that along with a banana with my breakfast, ha ha! Mom even spied me taking a selfie from the six-floor balcony which was so hilarious as I was the only one in the huge atrium.

 

Went back up and grabbed mom for an hour walk to the sister resort where we would spend the rest of the day after we checked out. Food some animals along the way, lol

Then, it was time to check out and get our wristbands to head to the sister resort which is truly beautiful as well. But first we stopped in town and had lunch at Larry Bird's restaurant, Brick 33; such a yummy tenderloin sandwich, onion rings and orange cream cocktail

We walked those grounds, shopped at the promenade shops and a most beautiful discovery was the fountains of Pluto water. Pluto water is known to have wonderful digestive and healing properties! So of course, I stuck my foot in it. Look how cute mom is in her sweet boutique hat. Then we went in the casino, fortunately only lost under $30 but we were disappointed. Why all the high finagled machines, just give us some great quarter slots!

Next up is what we’ve been waiting to do all day and that was ice cream on the sprawling front porch of the resort! The white rockers and American flags are just glorious. Mom had dulce de leche, and I had the butter pecan and it was delightful to get a sweet little rock in before our trip home. Love these precious getaways with my mama and so fortunate to get to do them!

4. Stein Mart Wrap Top

Have you ever been to a Stein Mart? We have one about an hour and 15 minutes away and I always enjoy going up there. I have never thought to shop them online but I’m so glad I did. I got four pieces from them, and this floral Wrap Blouse is one of them! Just check out how cute the back is! They have such a variety of cuteness on their website!

NATURE

Before all the storms came in last week, I snapped one of my pots that contains three varieties of Verbena. They were getting so pretty, hopefully they’ll come out of it, darn summer storms!

But sometimes the rain and storms do bring beautiful rainbows. Mr. Nine and I caught this one on our way home from a little day date last Saturday.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

Made Strawberry Shortcake‘s for Father’s Day. The cream in the middle of strawberry shortcake biscuits is from my Strawberry Crunch Parfait Recipe. Just use Bisquick to make the biscuits and added fresh farm stand strawberries and a tiny bit of ready whip on top.

Have the sweetest Summer Weekend Friends!!
