The Weekend Style & Memories

I love the weekend because I can dress however I want. I can stay in oversize pj pants, driving moccasins and hoodies or I can dash about in a cocktail dress (whether the occasion calls or not). This weekend, I plan to do a bit of both. Tonight: cocktail attire for a charity party; Tomorrow: pjs & mocs; Tomorrow Evening: I may have to bust out my leather leggings in honor of Bikes, Blues and Barbecue. They helped me snag my sweetheart two years ago this weekend, after all…

You never know what the weekend holds!

On The Water

In Fayetteville, it’s bikes, blues and barbecue season. While I love the event for our small city’s economy. I don’t so much love living next door to all the ripping and roaring of the bikes. Today I’m rather wishing that my beau and I were going somewhere magical for the weekend, maybe sailing?

The Weekend!

Kick up your heels! It’s Friday! I’m having my first little shindig at the new place tonight.

I’m planning to wear my new favorite dress from Maude (below).

I have lots of besties in town and we’re planning to make the most out of our time together. There will be eating, drinking and merry-making. We’ve also got a BIG football game that the whole town is excited about. I’m a happy girl!

The Week’s End

I love, love, love this photo. It’s been a rough week, don’t we all deserve a weekend? The weather should be beautiful and even though it’s hot, it’s still Summer! I have a friend’s birthday to celebrate, dinners to go to, a house to fix up and plenty of New Orleans music to listen to as Sunday is the 5th anniversary of Katrina. It’s hard to believe! I flew out on the very last flight. The Saints were on my plane…

I hope you have a wonderful weekend with at least a little celebration.

Monday, Monday

Ready or not, Monday arrives every week. This week, I was not quite prepared. “One more day,” I seem to always plead with no one in particular. Thoughts of going back to bed and the beach (two weeks!) are filling my head but in the meantime, my to-do list  must be attended to…Here’s hoping your weekend was wonderful and your week has gotten off to a great start.

Older

So I did it. I got another year older. I also felt real special as my friends threw me a little fête (above – day & night) and my sweetheart helped me move (pictures to come).

Petits Fours

This lovely array of Petits Fours met me at work today…..and my diet’s shot. Oh well, that’s what birthdays are for!

The first day of the weekend

Hello there. Doesn’t Thursday always feel like the beginning of the weekend? No matter how much you must accomplish before Friday evening, when it officially commences? It’s always a wash of relief to wake up and know it’s Thursday. There are four full days before Monday comes round again.

This weekend is particularly exciting for me because Saturday is my birthday. It’s always lovely when your birthday falls on the weekend, particularly Saturday. You can compel your friends and loved ones to celebrate Thurs. night straight through Sunday morning. That’s what I plan to do…per usual. I still get very excited about birthdays. What’s not to love about an occasion to celebrate, where everyone you care about feels obliged to make you feel special?

Fortunately, I already feel special. Hope you do too…on your birthday and always.
