Three Day Weekend...

via

Lovely three day weekends, I'm excited to spend them with family and loved ones!  We don't have anything planned expect moving A into his new place...ughh I despise moving, but I love him and will do anything for him.  

How are you planning on spending your Memorial Day weekend, or if you don't live in the States how are you spending your weekend...is it warm where you live?

Antique Finds & Mini Outfit Post...

I was so jealous when my mom went to Asheville, North Carolina for the week.  We're all planing on moving out there by 2013 and I can't wait!  While Mom was out there she stopped by a few antique shops to pick up goodies for the booth, I'm in love...

The days have been so warm lately but with the air conditioning I get pretty chilly in the office so a pair of jeans is a must!

Designer DIY...

DIY - Red Valentino Bow Shirt

With summer here and the need for fun/stylish DIY I stumbled upon this fabulous blog.  Donatella from inspiration & realization searches through designer fashion and spots out items that she can easily create for half (most of the time more) the price. 

Red Valentino

Here she takes a Red Valentino Bow Back Cotton Jersey T-shirt design and creates her own design.  Personally it would be super easy to just buy a 1 1/2 yards of tulle (with the little knots on it) tying a bow at the top attaching it and then sewing down the sides using the pattern attached.  Either way it's a fun DIY to try!

Goodbye Spring, Hello Summer...

This weekend felt like Summer was here and Spring was a thing of the past.  A and I went up to the Annapolis for a date night/buying wedding gifts on Saturday and stopped by this cute little park by the Naval Academy.  It was so warm that I could ride in the jeep with the top down and no sweater!

I just love this baby doll dress.  I picked it up at the H & M outlet in Atlantic City on our Bachelorette weekend.  I paired it with Yellow accessories giving it a punch of Summer...

Weekend...

This week went by insanely fast for me, how about you?  I have a busy weekend planned (with photos for you)!  I am dog sitting my parents pooch, and plan on officially cleaning out my closet so I can add all my summer articles in/start my 30 for 30 (more info on that later).

I've added a few more goodies in my shop so be sure to skip on over to check them out!

So I've been craving a weekend away in the tropics.  A and I have not been on a true "vacation" vacation together and this summer we're planning on a little get away.
