Living on Cloud Nine: Fridsy Favorites

It was a good week. The humidity finally came down, Stella turned 8 months, and I smiled all week remembering the great girl’s weekend that took place last weekend.

1. Friends

I’ll share more in a recap on Monday, but here are just a couple photos of the sweetness. In the next two favorites I’ll share a couple other brands that helps to make the weekend special. And there are many more to share. This was the last photo we took when these precious ladies had to depart Sunday morning.

Lots of memories made!

What we did first Friday noon....EAT

Here is my spread and of course see a charcuterie board by my dear friend at Graze by Erica, the local charcuterie extraordinaire with her own shop including fabulous gifts in our town! What you can’t see is all the other things I made which included pasta salad, mini versions of like crunch parfaits (blueberry here), pasta salad, cream cheese and bacon cucumber bites, and my mom made us her fabulous Key Lime Pie! Notice I linked to some of those recipes, a few of my favorites!

2. Cozy Earth

My love of Cozy Earth runs so deep; I have everything from pajamas to lounge wear to sheets to pillows and comforters to tanks and midi skirts! There was one color in the long pajamas that I didn’t have and that was navy, so I decided to make sure all the ladies got a pair of pajamas to get cute photos and a video in our bunk room! We had so much fun making this Reels Video for Instagram!!! A true slumber party girls’ weekend! The long pajamas are hands-down my favorite color I wear my black pair every Saturday morning to lounging! As always, I have the generous Cozy Earth promo code for you to get 40% off!

3. Teddy Blake "Emma"

Let’s talk stilettos! And you thought Teddy Blake was just amazing handcrafted Italian leather? No, they also have added shoes to the repertoire and are they ever gorgeous! These lace up beautiful heels called the Emma come in five of the most glorious colors. I love my baby blues! Here is a sneak peek with them on and I cannot wait to show you how I styled them. Each one of the ladies visiting this past weekend got a pair and a different color.

They’ve developed their own fabrications for a unique and incredible feel that you just can’t find anywhere else. M.Rena celebrates every shape and size with authenticity, sustainability, reliability, and top-notch customer service. These terry linen joggers and tie dye tunic are fabulous!

STELLA MAE

Our sweet girl turned eight months yesterday! A week from Tuesday she gets spayed, and you know I’m going to be a nervous wreck, LOL! This first picture is her and her lemon dress awaiting the arrival of the ladies last Friday.

MEMES

Olivia Newton-John

A sad note for sure was the passing of Olivia Newton-John at 73! Wasn’t she amazing? True story and one of mine and Mr. nice first dates at a party, we sang Summer Lovin and it’s still remembered to this day! I loved everything she did from Grease to Xanadu to Physical to her quest for breast cancer cues and awareness! I will always be hopelessly devoted to her! The tribute from John Travolta…so moving!

Happy Weekend to all the Sandy Fans out there......

Linking up with Friday Favorites // Metamorphosis Monday

xoxo

Spring officially arrives tomorrow, and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend here in Indiana! I’m just antsy for pool time and getting my flowers in the dirt but that’ll still be several weeks out. Hopefully, I can soak up some sunshine with a good book this weekend!

1. Bar Cart

This Bar Cart was one of the first purchases I made for my glam space when we moved into our house. I shared it with you before, but with some new followers, I thought I would share again because I have a confession. This bar cart is for decoration only and I don’t change it out for the seasons, gasp, I know! This bottle of champagne has been on here for three years and it just matches the space so well that there’s no reason to change it up. Basically, the liquor is just for show, LOL. Now, I do love that it is on wheels in case I need to roll it somewhere, LOL! AnyWho, this bar cart is one of the most popular at World Market so I thought I would share it again and some fun finds to go on it like the fun LetterBoard with lil Champagne Bottles. And of course one must have Pink Champagne Flutes and some darling Stemless Ones.

Cheers!

And here is some goodness to go on it!

2. Red Aspen Nails

My dear friend Holly over at Everyday Holly sent me some gorgeous press on nails called Red Aspen Nail Dashes as she knows I love doing my own and have for a decade now. The color selections are glorious and so far, the ones I have on, have stayed on for 13 days without any lifting and I just love them! I’ve used another brand of press ons for years and I think these are way better quality. AND gasp, the nail dashes are reusable! Other brands are not! Sooo cool!

Make sure you check them out HERE because they’re so easy to do. She also has nail highlight reels on her Instagram!

And they even send a cute lil card that I'm using as a bookmark.

4. Easter Dress Contender

Well, it’s highly doubtful I’ll even be wearing a dress on Easter, but we can still have some contenders that may end up on the summer dining alfresco wardrobe list. That includes this adorable and flattering Dress. It’s a fraction of the cost at Nordstrom Rack and it’s just so charming. There are several different colors and patterns, but I just loved the sage green, red and navy blue background of this one. And Lace up Sandals are my favorite Summer sandal. These Red ones are only $30, come in other colors and very comfy.

BEACH TOWELS FROM SOCIETY6

More Society6 goodness! I mentioned in my Instagram stories that I had been on the hunt for extra-long Beach Towels and 4 matching ones to go on four pool chaises. You know I love me some pineapples so the pink pineappley Beach Towel Goodness from Society6 was perfect!
