memorial day

I hope you're as ready for this long weekend as I am! I think we have a pretty awesome weekend planned! We're barbecuing every day (in case you hadn't assumed that from all the yummy posts this week) and hopefully lounging by a pool Sunday, Monday AND Tuesday as long as the weather stays nice. Sunday there is a parade in my hometown. I think the whole family is going to that, including my super pregnant sister and cousin! As a side note, Jess is 36 weeks on Sunday and ready for Branson to come out any time now! I'm really excited to celebrate with everyone and consume some delicious food and drink! I think I'll be consuming one or two of Jenna's cherry mojitos on Sunday.

I love this outfit! I themed it all around the tank top and the bathing suit top. I fell in love with both instantly and I love how they sort of coordinated with one another.

Don't forget to be Sun Savvy this weekend! Wear sunscreen, and don't forget to reapply!

Hope you have a great (and super safe!) long weekend!!

color love

This week Alison told us to pick a color and run with it. I know my color choice here seems pretty darn lame, but I have to say I'm loving it! I'm normally a very bright and colorful kind of girl. I'm the wacko who thinks that yellow shoes go with a white skirt and purple shirt. Or that a green cardigan is a neutral. But sometimes you have to tone it down.

When I saw this dress from the new "shops" collection at Target, I was immediately smitten. Honestly this was my second favorite dress I saw, but I couldn't get the image of the fabulous strapless green one to show up. Plus, like I said, sometimes it's good to stray from your norm.
