Friday Favorites


Friday favorites coming at you.  I love seeing favorites from people, gives me ideas of things to check out for myself.  Be sure and let me know your favorites so I can check them out!

Stranger Things Season 3: We finished season 3 last week and y'all it was crazy!!  No spoilers for those of you who haven't finished it yet.  I am a total chicken and don't do scary movies at all and I'll be honest and say that this season was a little creepy.  Much creepier than the past seasons for sure.  The characters were good, story was great and I would definitely recommend it!

Country Graphic Tees: I did a post styling these tees last week, check it out here.  I am obsessed with them!!  They are so cute and they look really fun and vintage.  I've really been enjoying styling them and showcasing my love for country music. 

Instacart: This has been a lifesaver y'all!  Such a great way to save time!!  I don't always have time to go to the grocery store with work and everything else going on so instacart is super helpful.  You pick out your items and schedule a delivery, the quickest they can deliver is 2 hours.  You then get an update on who is shopping for your order, if any items are unavailable and then when they are on their way to your location.  Sometimes things may be a few cents more and you do have a delivery fee of $4 but y'all I'm willing to pay that for the convenience of not having to go to the grocery store.

Rose Gold Earrings: I ordered these beautiful earrings from Aliexpress and have been wearing them ever since.  I love the simplicity of them and they don't irritate my ears!!

Runaway June: Yay for new music!!  I have really been enjoying Runaway June's new album.  Reminds me a little bit of old school Dixie Chicks.  Some of my favorites are: Head Over Heels, I Know the Way, Got Me Where I Want You Good, Bad and Ugly and Blue Roses.  

Let me know what you have been loving lately!

Summer 2019: Brad Paisley Concert

The continuing saga of Erin's free concert tickets.  Y'all my secret talent might be winning concert tickets...
I ended up randomly winning Brad Paisley tickets a few weeks ago and my husband and I had a little Friday night concert date.

It rained earlier but we managed to have a rain free night, it was also not crazy hot since the rain cooled things off earlier.  

Riley Green is a really new so he only played three songs, Chris Lane played next and he was great.  I have been following him for a while since he is a local boy from near where I grew up.  It's neat to see him actually preforming for real.

He just recently got engaged to Lauren Bushnell from the Bachelor franchise, he told a few stories about her and it was really cute.

My favorite part of the whole night just might have been when Chris Lane did a whole old 90's country set and I was living for it!

Brad Paisley was up next and he didn't disappoint.  He is crazy talented and it shows.  My husband knows way more about guitar and playing music so he was really impressed with all his maneuvers and solos.



It was a really funny concert, they all just seemed to be having a good time together.  One girl gave them her phone to take a picture and they all took a selfie.



They didn't let her off easy, they then proceeded to go through her photos and showed everyone that she took a picture of her boots and led to the fact that she had a dirty picture (we will never know).  

They had a military salute which hits a little closer to home now with my brother coming near his deployment date.  I appreciate the support for military personnel and remembering their service. 

We really enjoyed spending our Friday night with Brad, great music and funny commentary.

Instagram Roundup

 
Happy Monday!  Here's a having a great week.  We had a really great weekend with a country concert, a little shopping, and catching up on Big Brother.

I'm a big fan of a maxi dress.  If you haven't tried it out yet go!  I am pretty short (5'2"ish) and I always thought I couldn't wear maxi dresses, you just have to find the right length.  This striped dress from Peach is so comfy, I knotted it up for a more casual vibe.

Flashback to our Disney trip a few months ago.  If you are in Disney make sure you stop in the Polynesian and walk around that place is GORGEOUS!!  Also can we talk about this top, it's on a pretty great sale right now and you definitely need it. 

My look from the Brad Paisley concert.  I finally got to take my vintage Dooney out for a spin.  Y'all I have wanted this western Dooney and Bourke bag for years and I finally found it on poshmark for a steal!  More about the concert coming later this week!

Can't stop won't stop with these cute country music tees.  I love the vintage feel they give to a look.

Last thing I wanted to leave you with this bible verse from 1 Samuel.  I think it is so important to remember that we don't see everything and we can't know everything about people.  Just the same that people don't see everything about us and they don't know everything.  God is the only one who knows every little thing about us, important or not He knows it all.  He doesn't just see the outside He knows our whole heart.  What a comfort to know that even through knowing us to our core God still loves us, good, bad and ugly He loves us through it all.  What a blessing!

Hope y'all have a great week!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Finds for Less than $65!!

It's no secret that I love a good deal. In case you have been living under a rock the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is going on which means discounts on quality pieces from Nordstrom. I'm gonna go ahead and admit that Nordstrom is not my first place to go shop, it's a little out of my budget for everyday. I will splurge every now and then on quality pieces that I know are going to last. I perused the site and found a few items that I feel are worth a splurge or are just a pretty good deal, all under $65.  There are some really good prices on some of my favorite brands: Kendra Scott, BlankNYC, Adidas, Spanx, Kate Spade and more!

Have you shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?  What did you pick up?

Recent Purchases


I have done a little shopping recently and thought I would share with you what I picked up.

This vest is great quality and looks like the J.Crew Excursion vest.  This one is from Madison and Mallory and is coming soon!!  I can't wait for fall so I can break this sucker out!!

While in NC we stopped at the outlets and I popped into Forever 21.  They were having a buy one sale item get one free so I picked up two things.  This super soft emerald velvet hoodie is gorgeous!!  It was $9 but ended up being $3.50.  This one is perfect for the holidays but also just great for everyday, so cozy!

I also picked up this really classic varsity sweatshirt dress that is so cozy and comfy.  Perfect with sneakers for an easy, comfy look. 

OK so I didn't really buy these...my sister gave them to me while in NC but I just wanted to share my Rae Dunn mugs.

I had a Nordstrom note that was expiring so I stopped in Nordstrom Rack to see if I could find any deals.  I stumbled on this Dogeared necklace on clearance for $8.74 and couldn't say no.

So cute and boho!  I also love the almost two tone look of the metal.

Such a great deal as these are normally over $50, with my note I paid less than $5!!

Styling Graphic Tees: Western Chic Take

Y'all know I am a country music lover, I love old country and new country.  It is most definitely my music of choice.  I stumbled on these awesome graphic tees from Cut from the Heart on etsy and fell in LOVE!!  I love a graphic tee, easy to wear, cute and still comfy.  I thought I would share how I styled these tees, with a little western flair.  These looks are definitely my style for day to day but they would also be really cute for a country concert or county fair.

This top might be my favorite, first of all it's funny, second I love the vintage graphic.  I love pairing a graphic tee with a colorful kimono to add a little boho vibe.  These fringe tassel sandals add that western touch.  



With the guitar print I wanted to go a little more edgy.  I added these western buckle sandals and one of my favorite turquoise fringe necklaces from Montana Silversmith.  

I also threw on a fun western printed belt for a little extra detail. 

Complete George Strait junkie here!  I love the print on this one!  I paired it with my favorite squash blossom necklace, tassel sandals and my vintage cowboy boot Dooney and Bourke.
 

How cute is this purse??  I wanted it for years and found it on poshmark for a crazy steal.  So cute for a concert or fair.

Representing the main men of country music right here.  Paired once again with a kimono, my fringe sandals and my mini squash blossom necklace.



Styling posts are a little new for me but I really enjoyed styling these shirts.  Let me know what you think and which look was your favorite!!
