Weekend Recap....

Friday - Kevin & I headed down to Shadow Lake for their Sounds of the Summer Concert Series. It's a fun outdoor place to hear local bands play. If you're in the area and are looking for something to do on a Friday night, I highly recommend checking it out - it's perfect for a family friendly night out!




And, just a quick walk away is Freddy's! They have the best frozen custard!!


Here's Kevin with our super yummy Hawaiian Delight!


After the little concert, we rented and finally watched Just Go With It. Oh my gosh, SO funny! I'm a huge Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston fan, I thought these two were perfect together!


Saturday - the morning went by waaayyy too fast! Between meetings and tackling small projects on our to-do list, it was gone before we knew it!

Later that afternoon, I met some friends in Omaha's Old Market. With the CWS going on there was just so much to see! A big point of conversation was how it's such a great time to live in Omaha - we are all just so excited to see Omaha grow!

After walking for a bit, we settled in at Stokes. Stokes has some a-mazing Mexican food...and their margaritas and sangria are out of this world!

{Katie, Erin and Me}


Here's Katie's strawberry margarita...and yes, it did taste as good as it looks! Ha!! ;)


Our little city, all lit up...checkout this view!!! Sooo pretty!

Sunday - Well...besides Church, it's been a pretty lazy day. And...now, I think this afternoon thunderstorm is God's way of telling me its time for an afternoon nap! Lol!

Hope you have all have fabulous weekends too!!

Oh my word!!! I'm just in LOVE with this dress!!



It's just the most perfect Summer dress!! It's just terrible that it's temporarily out of stock! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it gets stocked again very soon!


So...the truth is that I may have a *slight* Ruche obsession. They just have such simple, chique stuff! I'm in love!! Le sigh.




Here's some of their beautiful summer-y accessories...


Beautiful coral necklace!





Fabulous look!




Fun girly necklace!




Ok, I can't wait to get this one!! Perfect for Summer!!

Happy Friday!!



Yay, it's Friday!! Which means...the weekend is quickly approaching! Kevin and I have some fun things lined up...shopping for house stuff {it's a never ending endavor}, laying out by the pool {at least for a few hours}, attacking our {never-ending} to-do list, catching up with the family, and meeting up with my friends for a fun Girl's Night Out!

P.S. can you tell "relax" is not a word in my vocabulary when I'm home and things need to get done?

Not all rainy days are gloomy....

....especially when you have fun rain accessories!!!

With all the rain we've had around here lately (including a pretty crazy storm tonight - eek!), I thought it would be fun to do a post about things that help make gloomy, rainy days brighter. One of the super fun things about rainy weather are these oh so adorable classic Burberry wellies...



or these...



...or these from Juicy Couture


...all adorable and all sure to keep your feet nice and dry!



And, walking around with either of these umbrellas is sure to make any rainy day much more enjoyable






How fun is this "purse raincoat" Great idea!


....If you like this one as much as I do, you can find it & others like it here


Of course I can't leave my sweet Molly out

*No, this isn't Molly but it is a cute raincoat and I know she would look fabulous in it! ;)


Hope you are all having a bright and cheery week, regardless of the weather!

Fabulous Girls Weekend in KC

This weekend my bff, Christina, and I met up in Kansas City. Not only is it one of the Midwest's hidden gems but it's also the perfect half way point for us.

We both arrived Friday and didn't waste any time catching up! The weekend was a nonstop chat fest, yup, it pretty prefect!

Our first stop Saturday morning was the plaza...friends, I *heat* the plaza!!!

Not only does it have fabulous shopping but the architecture is a-mazing!


Picking up a few fun items at Mac!



Halls department store....where I bought this...


I've been wanting it for what seems like forever now but, whenever I finally get around to getting it, it's always sold out. I'm beyond in LOVE. Ha!


More of the gorgeous plaza - love their fountains!





After a fun day of shopping and yummy eating, we saw Bridesmaid's



What a great weekend!! We are already planning our next girls weekend get-a-way!!

Hope you had a fantastic weekend too!
