Birthdays & Vineyards

This past weekend was one of my best friend's birthday! Leslie invited us all to Winston-Salem and planned a ridiculously fun vineyard romping Saturday! I haven't laughed and had this much fun in forever!

Saturday morning we headed to Brandon Hills Vineyard, a small little place that Leslie occasionally works at! We had a bottle or two then headed to Raffaldini


You see, we hadn't eaten proper food all day. There were bagels for breakfast but we kind of skipped out on lunch part. So all that wine went straight to our giddy, laughing heads!

My mom is part of Raffaldini's wine club (she would) so her and her friend, Paula, were there! I cannot confirm that my mother was the drunkest there,
 but there is a good chance she was!


Hugs for the birthday girl!

They took vineyard romping seriously...



 Happy Birthday Leslie! 
You are such an amazing girl and best friend. You have always been there for me and you really are a blessing in my life! I hope you had an amazing weekend and I hope we can do it again soon! 
Cheers to 25 love!

Life According to Instagram

Because if you didn't Instagram it, it didn't happen. 

Every time I go home to my moms house my sister has stolen all of my comfy pants! Except these, they would fall straight off her skinny ass and that makes me happy, they are the best pants ever. promise. 

I got contacts! I HATE wearing my glasses to work so this was huge for me! Now if only it didn't take me 20 minutes to get them in...

Valentines Day at work! 

It snowed... a lot, so naturally there was a lot of wine involved!

We spent Presidents Day lounging around, and if this picture isn't the definition of lounghing then I don't know what is!!

I was doing some spring cleaning on Monday and found my swatch book from NC State! Love it!

 Wednesday I stopped by Nordstrom and finally got a large Longchamp! Along with some adorable other things! I have to look cute for all the vineyards I'll be romping around tomorrow!

My jeweler is across from the mall so I had to stop in and get my ring cleaned! It was so sparkly and shiny that I seriously could not stop looking at it! I just kept moving my finger!

The Charlotte Social

Hi dolls! Happy Thursday! 
Back in December when  I attended the Charlotte Blogger Dinner I met some amazing girls and had such a great evening! I knew that I wanted to socialize and meet-up with these girls many more times! I met one girl, Bri (cute name!) who was active in a lot of Houston blogger meet-ups when she lived in Texas! So it didn't surprise me when Bri created The Charlotte Social Blog

A blog dedicated to connecting Charlotte bloggers and organizing meet-ups! YAY! 

If you are a Charlotte blogger then you need to head over and join! I would love to meet more of you ladies and have us all participate in some fun evenings together!

Thanks Bri for creating this, you are a fabulous girl and I can't wait for future events!

Mother Native Jewelry

A while back my cousin sent me some awesome earrings that I have been meaning to share with y'all! My cousin Megan is huge in the arts and music scene in Boise, and has some really artistic friends! She picked out some amazing pieces of art for my ears!
When she sent me the earrings the card that came said Mother Native, but you can get in contact with and purchase from Wild Lustre on Facebook!




I just love that the earrings are such a statement in themselves. Pair with a simple chambray or white v-neck and you have an awesome outfit! I love the colors and design of these earrings! The artist is so talented and has so many amazing handmade pieces!

Thank you so much cousin, I love them & you!!
xoxo


ps. my blog sale still has awesome items! Go look!

Harlem What?

I'm going to need someone to explain this new Harlem Shake fad to me! I am SO lost! What is it? Why? Who started it? I have a million questions but yet I am so intrigued! I watched about an hour of videos the other night and like I said, I don't know what it is but these take the cake...

Obviously App State goes HAM on Harlem Shake...



A mens swimming team doing the Harlem shake? Sure! Why not!

And duh I'm gonna go with a NCSU video... I mean check out that hot dog, he's loving life!!!


So seriously will someone explain this awesome thing to me??

Outfit | Stripes & Peplum

 I am obviously a huge fan of stripes and when you mix stripes with peplum, I'm loving it. When we went to Ohio over Christmas I so stupidly left my hanging bag in Charlotte. Insert panic. So I headed to Forever 21 and snatched up a few sweaters and this darling striped peplum top. I adore it! Pair it with my new clutch from Emily and its one of my favorite outfits!
