...Alice + Olivia Hattie Tiered Dress. Sequins and ruffles - what's not to love and it was on sale, too. I'm such a sucker for sales (especially when it's on something this pretty).

[Afternoons at the pool are a weekend tradition now]
This weekend: Enjoy the (much needed) extra time off.

...{Wish List}...

• I suppose some shopping is in order: {1}, {2}, {3}, and {4}.
• Also, weekends by the pool = excuse for new swimwear: {1} and {2}.

...{Design, Style, & Food}...

• Cute - I'll file this one away for Makaylee's first birthday!
• And finally, we had high hopes, but it was a let down. Let's try something else.

Happy Friday! Make it wonderful :)

...Memorial Day weekend & Summer must-haves. I love the feeling of Summer - just the idea of Sun, poolside lounging, picnics, cold drinks, and constant Al Fresco dining really thrills me, which is a good thing because we get plenty of it!...

...Louis Vuitton Infinit Bracelet. This was my birthday present from Nick. I really like the color and that it can change to be black or deep red depending on the lighting.
