:: weekend recap ::

I hope you all had a great weekend!

We went out to dinner with friends at St. Cecilia’s in Buckhead Friday night and loved it.

Our favorite was the Cacio a Pepe pasta dish and these amazing Sticky Pear Tarts.

I’m not a pear dessert person but it was insane! The beet salad was delicious too!

It’s definitely one the prettiest restaurant I’ve been in yet since moving back to Atlanta.

and the floors were gorgeous.

Friday nights outfit :

I wore a top I recently snagged at Stein Mart for $20.

I have been finding the best stuff at Stein Mart + TjMaxx/Homegoods here.

Saturday’s Outfit :

The Theory silk blouse was a top I bought as a bridesmaid to go with a long skirt, and it is truly one of my favorite things to wear over and over again. It was not only the cutest bridesmaids outfit but the only one I actually wear again.

This notched collar blazer (similar) is getting a ton of use still,

and will definitely be coming with me to Vegas on Friday!

seriously how amazing were these bridesmaids looks?

also… side note:
I missed the Vanderpump crew in Vegas by one week!

They were all there this weekend! Argh!

The Cupcakes + Cashmere Draped Trench that I had ordered from Nordstrom arrived and it was not a success.

It’s obviously very wrinkled in this photo, but I didnt bother steaming it because I knew right away it was a no. The material is super thin, and this was an XS but it just kind of hung and as shapeless. I’m sure Belted it would be cuter but the l didnt feel like I was tall enough to pull off the length and shape and just didn’t love it. Definitely didn’t look as cute as it had on the model. Oh well.

Kip said I looked “like a woman living in a cardboard box.”

I thought I looked more like I was wearing a lab coat. Either way, not good comparisons.

The under $25 sunnies were a much cheaper and successful purchase so it was technically a win win! I wish I had ordered the other tortoise color too so hopefully they restock, but this brown tortoise is still available.

On Sunday Kip and I went to a Flywheel class together, keeping up with the daily workouts.

This is hilarious to me because we were a bit hungover, and even if we hadn’t been, it was never an activity we would have done on a Sunday in Chicago.

I said “you know what we would be doing right now?” and at the exact same time we said “eating.”

We went over to my moms for family dinner and time with the kiddos.

My sister made the prettiest salad and some delicious cornbread muffins with chili.

There is a trundle bed I had been wanting to snag sitting in one of the upstairs bedrooms and we finally disassembled it and took it to our place!

at this rate there will be nothing left at my mom’s house at all….. seriously.

Our “office” seems like such a waste of space to me. It gets used because I use the treadmill and then I do some blogging from the desk so that the room is used more, but I felt like the trundle bed would make it so much more useful.

Plus we already have two occasions in April where we have 4 people staying at once so just having the guest bed wouldn’t be enough.
