BARRINGTON BABES, GREEN PANTS & "THE" SHIRT X's 2

There’s so much LOVE I this post because it involves my beloved friends, evoked memories, my mama, and my new undying love for Barrington Bags, “The” gauze shirt return and green pants from Mauby.


First of all, 3 of my fellow Style Six besties, travel buddies and gal pal crew initiated me into the 50’s club with a beautiful Barrington Tote Bag! I cannot tell you how many times I have designed a Barrington Bag, had it in my cart and then never pulled the trigger. So, the fact that they put together a beautiful one that immediately reminded me of our first meet up in Nashville, just filled my heart with such joy! These ladies are the real deal. I could literally talk about how wonderful they are every day but just know when you visit Lisa's, Kellyann's or Shelly's blogs, you’re getting nothing but pureness and goodness from their sweet little hearts! I hope I can hug their necks and thank them in person this year because even though we talk on Marco Polo, I miss them immensely!



Just look at these beauties on our last trip together in Texas. We didn’t even plan to match the day we went to the Silos, but we were all sporting our Fall fabulousness!


It was so funny because mine and my mom‘s first lunch alfresco since Covid begin with us both sporting the same gauze button up shirt in different colors! Let me just say, in the late 80s, early 90's, my mom and I both loved to wear gauze. The soft cotton, well, there’s nothing like it! So, when these shirts started floating around blogger world, I immediately ordered some and so did my mom. The white is currently out of stock but there are oodles of colors and keep checking back because several of my friends have and they ended up getting the white one if that’s the color you prefer. 

 



I own the Violet that my mom is wearing here, and it is such a pretty shade! Looks so good with the white. Isn’t she just adorable, living out her influencer dreams, LOL!


I also was recently introduced to a company called MAUBY!

I love everything this company stands for and they were so sweet to send me these cropped Green Utility Pants! I love the shade. 


MAUBY pieces are designed to cater to fit, comfort, and sophistication. With a mix of romantic undertones and comfortably structured pieces, their clothes are rooted in quality and individuality. 


If you’re in the market for some green pants, I also found these and these.

 

I think it was quite fitting to carry my Barrington Tote Bag that day since we were headed to Lake Michigan! It gives off some sweet nautical vibes and I loved it with this outfit! The zippered ones are really cute too. Barrington allows you to design your bag in so many different patterns, monograms and colors. The possibilities are endless!

FRIDAY FAVORITES....ALL THE LOVE

I was going to have this Friday Favorites include Chicago for our quick overnight there, but I have so much to share about it, so I’m making it an entire post next week. Also, much more to come about the fabulous Birthday LOVE I received from Friends and family.

It was an unseasonably warm week here with 80° temps and I enjoyed every second of it. And Mr. Nine got his second vaccine on Wednesday thank goodness. I get my next week. He did say yesterday that he felt like a Mack truck hit him but he’s tough and he’s strong and he plugged away!



 1. Birthday Luncheon

Truly, I probably should’ve titled this post all the love from my marvelous mom! My mom executed the most fabulous birthday lunch last week! She pulled out all the stops from the ombré pink cake, gorgeous decorations, my favorite eggplant Parmesan lunch with a delightful salad and of course the traditional yearly Key Lime pie! THE BEST KEY LIME EVER… Recipe HERE






All the gifts she gave me were straight from her heart and I may have cried many happy tears. There’s so much to mention and I shared a little bit on Instagram stories but my favorite gift of all is the Beautiful Necklace she gave me that was her own handwriting! She sent her handwriting to the Etsy Seller that said, “Love you beautiful girl, mama” And they created the most precious piece that I will keep forever!

Opening it before I cried, lol


 Just precious! Talk about a special gift for those you love! She can do bracelets and rings as well!


2. Michigan Day

In keeping with my precious mom theme, we got to enjoy a lovely day and soak in those temperatures in lower Michigan on Wednesday! We just had to take advantage of the great weather because it’s back to the 50s here in a couple days, typical Indiana weather.

We enjoyed a lovely alfresco lunch at a place in New Buffalo Michigan called Beer Church. It’s so much fun you guys and the Margherita pizza and blood orange mule was delicious!

We then stopped by a greenhouse but the greenhouses here are not quite ready with their flowers yet, so it was on up to St Joe, Michigan to Silver Beach. Had we known so many people were going to be laying out on the beach, we would’ve joined in, but by that time we were just ready to work off our lunch with a walk out to the beautiful pier! Lake Michigan is so tranquil!

Happy Friday! Guess where you'll find me all day? In the garage..yep, where I have been most of the week as today is the first day of my BIG Garage Sale. It's always a hit and we have lots of fun!! This weekend is jammed packed as tomorrow is our school's PROM for two of our handsome guys. Keeping fingers crossed for glorious weather!! Wish me luck, this garage sale is paying for Grad Open house Paaaar-taaay!!! Also a big THANK YOU for the love and other insight regarding 
Monday's Post 5 Things Bloggers Feel...But Might Be Afraid To Say.
And may your weekend be lovely, lighthearted and loads of fun!! 

 1. Garage Days..
....are coffee days. (but champagne nights, lol) Isn't this tee from Express just the cutest!! (sold out online but still in select stores). 
Just had to have (Blogger Blame) it when I saw on KATE over at Green Fashionista.
She styled it so cutely with a darling necklace but I was just plain Jane getting my garage sale ready yesterday. 

2. Sunday Funday
It finally happened last weekend and Mother Nature gave moms a gift and it was a gorgeous day. We took mom up to one of our favorite beach towns for a Mother's day lunch at a restaurant called The Stray Dog where they have the best fish tacos and Mr. Nine decided to be Captain for the day, lol! Gee maybe I should've called this the Taco edition, lol.

4. Bell Sleeves
Last week I did a fashion post on this Bell Sleeve Top from F21 and it got me craving them some more. A reader mentioned she loved the 3/4 length of these so she didn't get the sleeves caught on things, great point. For me, I like the flow of them too.
Here is some more Bell Sleeve inspiration 




5. Tacos on the Brain
Think I can eat tacos in the garage? On Tuesday I showed you one of our family's favorite taco recipes: Asian Chicken Soft Tacos HERE
And that got me craving more tacos too. I found these 17 kinds. Everything from oven-fried Korean Chicken tacos to Chipotle Cheese Slow Cooker tacos. Can't wait to try some of these HERE
Go eat a taco and have some fun!!
