Cheers to Friday!
I’m planning to spend as much time outdoors in the gorgeous sunshine today and tomorrow (getting above 80? yes please!), so much so that I might even help garden or do actual outdoorsy things with my husband.
spoiler alert : odds are, that will definitely not happen, but ya know….. it’s the thought that counts?
We will definitely be having happy hour cocktails on the porch tonight though!
AND I have kept all of the plants that were planted two weeks ago when my in-laws were visiting ALIVE.
So…. I am earning tonights skinny margaritas!
I have an easy and under $50 dress to share with you today!
I don’t know what it is, but I have a bit of an obsession lately with tie front tops and dresses. (Well, perhaps I know what it is…..I feel like maybe it’s because they work well for smaller boobs AND you can tie them to enhance what your working with. Just being honest. Plus I always love a v-neck top – they’re just more flattering in every way.
Anyways, this dress is super light weight comfortable. Also crazy comfortable are the scallop wedge heels.

I just saw on E News as I write this post that Three Olives has a Rosé vodka. I am not a Rosé person (all Pinot Grigio all the time, and don’t insult me with that chardonnay nonsense) but I feel like this is something I need to at least try!
You know who would love this?
Kyle would love this……
I need to go follow Kyle on instagram or something since I won’t get to see
his antics for a whole year.
Hashtag I already miss Summer House.
So, Khloe had her baby yesterday. I really don’t have “feelings” for the Kardashians in general, but Khloe is my favorite of them all (isn’t she everyones?) and I can’t help but feel awful just thinking about giving birth when all of this is going on.
editors note : I also just need to say, and sorry to speak ill of my-boyfriend-andy-cohen, but the way my-boyfriend-andy-cohen says “Khlo-Ayyy” makes me crazy. It’s like the way the Kardashians say “Kan-Yayy”.
anyways……I digress…..
I discussed it in yesterday’s Coffee Talk, but I added the links in later (oops) regarding Shannon + David Beador + Jeff Lewis’ text battle. If you haven’t read the text exchange, trust me, it’s worth a read! David is awful in them and it puts Shannon’s edgy erratic behavior into perspective.
He says horrible things to her about her weight and then gets into with Jeff too. I wish I had Sirius XM radio so that I could listen to Jeff’s show and my-boyfriend-Andy-Cohen’s show (the WWHL in LA has been great all week!)

:: FAVORITE FINDS ::
These striped heels are under $70 and probably my favorite find of the week. In lurve.
The only summer clutch you need (already under $100 and also on sale!)
Just ordered this under $100 romper to try for my trip to Miami or Scottsdale.
This tank looks way more expensive than $55 and will stay in your closet forever.
The Sweaty Betty workout line has arrived at Nordstrom and I’m antsy to get my hands on a few things. I love this tee with the adorable hem (for in and out of the gym!) This pacesetter tank is and this jumpsuit are also on the list!
Gimme these earrings and take me to the Amalfi Coast!
can’t get enough of this gorgeous color and style either!
Found the ideal summer sweatshirt, navy + white striped included and on sale!
A bikini top with the cutest stitch detail and neckline. I don’t know which color I like better!
Adore this breezy floral mini ( on sale! )
An eyelet tie front top that will take you now through summer.
Best summer holiday cami I’ve ever seen.
I want to be wearing this top with white jeans right this moment.
Pretty sure I would live in this under $100 dress.
My obsession with tie waist shorts continue – the shimmer in these takes them up a notch.
The little back cutout in this dress is everything (and so is the $39 price!)
I love the slight drape in the top and the open back of this watercolor dress (that also comes in a top I’ve shared in the past! And I’m in love with it in solid black and white – it would definitely be the go-to for date night)
Can’t get enough pom detailing + love it for swim accessories especially!
An on trend + affordable straw bucket bag that looks just like much pricier versions.
There’s no denying that Kate Spade knows their way around a dress. I am lusting after severalllll at the moment.
embroidered shift minidress // trim tweed dress // daisy minidress // gingham fit & flare // scalloped sleeveless
I’m on the hunt for a sarong cover-up. This pink pom option is super cute and I also think this striped sarong is too cute!
Classic + timeless shirtdress in my favorite pattern.
The fabric on this jumpsuit looks like the perfect thing for hot summer days.
A dress that can do it all : work, weekends, out, showers, wedding, anything!

:: LINK LOVE ::
I laughed out loud at this : how building ikea furniture almost destroyed my marriage.
an excerpt: “Did you know that Ikea is responsible for 28 percent of all divorces that occurred in the US in 2017? You probably didn’t, because I’m totally kidding and made that up but, honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true.”
I forgot to discus Lala’s texts with “her mans” ex in yesterdays coffee talk.
