Monday Obsession: Sunshine & Kendra Scott

If any of y'all are in Georgia right now you know it actually already feels like summer.  The time has changed, the days are longer, and for some reason temps are in the 80's.  While I have really been resisting turning on the AC in March I have to admit there are many things I love about this time of year {even if it's already blazing hot}: 

1. The sun is basically out all the time. What's not to love about that? Sunshine = happiness.

2. Summer is just around the corner! This means that vacations and weekends on the lake are fast approaching. 

3. Sleeping with the windows open at night. 

4. Two Words -- Patio Drinking. 

And, if you are going to be participating in your share of patio drinking/dining, we all know you have to look good.  With summer coming and humidity on the rise I will most definitely be sporting a ponytail most of the time in this crazy Georgia heat.  With that said, I obviously needed some cute new earrings to wear with my summer dresses. 

I got these these Kendra Scott beauties this weekend.  

Ok,  I confess. TDH actually bought them for me {more on this later -- I will get a date re-cap up soon!}.  Swoon. 

My girlfriends and I are obsessed with her stuff right now.  These are my first pair and I adore them! 

Love you. Mean it.

Sunday Funday = Monday Bumday

The Housewife has seriously been wearing me out with all this running! I was so tired from 17 miles on Saturday that I made a lackluster attempt at having a few cold ones on Saturday while we were watching football (Sooooo sad about The Dawgs!).  On top of that I was a little overzealous yesterday when I was @Phipps Plaza patio lunching and shopping with my bestie EBM (does it get any better?). Ok, I was really overzealous.  A bottle of wine and 1 vodka soda later we happily ate our Tavern Chips and cruised the mall for hours.  Except that I felt like utter, complete poop today at work.  Seriously--I think I drove into work with the sweats at 7 this morning. I had to put the air conditioner on full blast for my entire commute. And I am a morning person tried and true.

No joke, this was the brand of Sauv Blanc we were drinking.  Should have listened to that label -- but this could be a legitimate instance where "no means yes". 

In reality, other than the accomplishment of the longest run of my life (to date) it was really not a productive weekend for The Single Gal -- unless you count the awesome Lilly Pulitzer sale items I snagged at Belk. A lot of DVR was conquered, some laundry, and a serious day o' fun with a friend on Sunday.  But here are few things I totes meant to put up last week when I never got around to blogging. 

Found a new Essie color -- "Over the Edge"! I am seriously obsessed with all things gray and this shade is so gunmetal without being too Twilight...I think. What are your thoughts -- is it too "Sons of Anarchy"? Does my hand look fat because I cut part of it off in this photo?

Starting a new collection for the gold stack. Sure, would I love all the new Michael Kors stuff? Cha. But Hogan would be starving if I bought any of them. And me too, probably. These beauties can be found at your local Forever 21 store. I know the panthers/jaguars/whatever that is are kind of out there. Fashion is hard y'all. I'm taking some chances these days.

Also, currently reading and fairly disappointed in the following:

One Day by David Nicholls

 

Now I'm off to prep some beach necessities for The Housewife -- ironing some cover-ups for her and making a pile of goodies for her to wear while on her vacay.  Now that I am back from St. Simons and most lake days and pool days are gone with the advent of Fall it is only fitting I send them with her for one last voyage.  After all, all good things must come to an end -- even this blazing hot summer we have had in Georgia this year.
