Greetings...from the Beach!

I am still alive, I promise.  I dropped the ball on my Monday "Road Trip pics" post that I was going to do, because I just didnt' feel like being on my computer while on vacay...you all will forgive me right??  We have had a great week so far...but it has rained alot!  Here are a couple pictures from yesterday between the rain showers.

I'll be back next week!

Road Trip Survival Kit

Since we are off on our road trip to the beach today, I thought it would be fun to share my little "Road Trip Survival Kit" that I put together.  I filled this adorable chevron box with some of my favorite things, along with my hubby's :)

My Survival Kit includes...

sugar free redbull

 water

 my favorite candy

hubby's favorite candy

my favorite magazines

...and some snacks

I bought two of these at Target yesterday.  I thought it would be easy to carry everything, and cute too :)

They are black and hot pink...and only $2.50 each.  Dollar Spot...Whoop!

I went to two different Targets yesterday to try to find Emily Giffin's new book, Where We Belong, and both were sold out!  So, I'll have to pick this up along the way.  If you haven't read her books, you should!  I love every single one of them!

Monday I'll be posting some of our favorite Instagram pictures of our road trip so far!  

Have a wonderful weekend!  

Beach Bound!

I'm so excited!  I just got home from working my last shift before my 3 week vacation!  We are leaving at 8am tomorrow morning, so today I will be busy packing and getting everything ready to go.  We are following my parents and sister and driving to New Orleans to stay the night.  I'm super excited to get some delicious beignets and coffee at Cafe du Monde! 

Then on Saturday, it is off to Rosemary Beach!

Tomorrow I will be sharing my Road Trip Survival Kit.  I have had so much fun putting it together.  Then on Monday, I'll be sharing some Instagram photos of our vacation so far.

Have a wonderful day!

Henri Bendel Lavender Leaves Candle

I got this candle as one of my anniversary gifts and I wanted to share it with you guys.  I had one of these candles several years ago and loved it.  Lauren got me the Lavender Leaves scent and it is amazing!  If you haven't tried Henri Bendel Candles, you definitely should!  I love little luxuries around the house like this...it feels so warm and cozy!

They also sell this cute travel size now too!

Happy Wednesday!

If I had all the money in the world to decorate and style our home...it would look a little bit like this...

Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary

Today is our 2nd Wedding Anniversary, and I feel so blessed to have the husband that I do.  It has flown by, and we have been through so much.  I am so thankful to have him by my side every day.  I thought it would be fun to relive a few moments from our special day with you guys today!

Fall Fever ~ Fashion & Favorites

Another pre-Fall post from me today!  Yes I know it is not even August, but September 1st is Fall in my book.  That is when I whip out the decor and start getting ready for the season!  I can't help myself.  Why not enjoy every moment of my favorite season...even if it is a little early.  Well, I'm not decorating yet, but I am loving all the Fall fashion and goodies I see coming out in my favorite stores lately.  Here are a few looks I am totally going to be sporting this Fall...

I pinned this outfit on Pinterest, and love the corduroy skinny jeans paired with the cognac boots

Kate can do no wrong in my book.  I love how effortless Fall fashion can be...Boots and scarves are the best!

via

How cute is this outfit?  Love it all.  I have to say, I didn't totally love my boots...so I am still on the hunt.    The pair below is from Aldo, and I love the style.  I am looking for something more structured and not so slouchy...any suggestions?

Here are some more of my favorite Fall things...

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Glitter Pumpkins

Scarecrow Crunch

I got this recipe from my friend Audrey, and now I make it every year.  It is so yummy and easy!

~ Recipe ~

4 c Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal

4 c tiny twist pretzels
1 22oz bag Autumn Mix or plain candy corn
1 6oz box chocolate Teddy Grahams

1 bag Reese's Pieces
2 6oz boxes caramel corn *

*Sometimes I mix in white chocolate covered kettle corn or plain kettle corn instead of the caramel corn

Aren't these adorable!  She packaged some up and added a cute label to give as gifts for neighbors.  Love this idea!

P.S.  Who's excited for the Opening Ceremonies tonight?!?  USA! USA!

I love the Olympics and am so excited to watch gymnastics, swimming, and track and field!  We will be at the beach next week, and are all excited that the Olympics will be going on while we are there!

Enjoy your weekend!
