Aren't weeks so much better when they start on a Tuesday instead of a Monday? I never mind working on a Friday but there's just something so dreaded about a Monday so I never mind skipping straight over it and going to Tuesday. Unfortunately, we have a company meeting all day today (and I mean ALL day, it starts at 9 am and ends at 7 pm) so I'll be completely MIA from blogland but I'm linking up with Biana anyway to share my weekend recap since it was a busy/fun one!

Friday was an early day for me since I was on social media duty for the weekend (which basically means I'm on call for anything that pops up on social over the weekend). I was supposed to head straight to Tampa after work for the Summer of Rum Festival but right as I was headed out we found out it was canceled due to Hurricane Hermine and the winds so instead I headed out with Kerri and the boys for an impromptu happy hour.

Saturday was the first UCF game of the season so we headed down to tailgate for a bit before heading in to watch the game. My parents also came into town Saturday for a quick birthday weekend trip for my mom. They were due to come in earlier but after a full day of delays they didn't make it in until Saturday evening.

Sunday the weather was better so we decided to head over to Epcot for some birthday fun for my mom. My parents hadn't been to Disney in like 20-something years so it was fun to get to experience that with them even if my dad was more than skeptical about being there.

Monday was by far my most relaxed day. We started out the day a little later (which was nice) before my mom and I headed out to try to get pedis. Unfortunately every place was closed so we ended up doing some shopping at Target and running to lunch at my parents favorite Mexican restaurant in town. It was rainy so after lunch we headed home and binge watched Z Nation before heading to bed.


Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Happy Wednesday and last day of August! I'm not going to lie, I've been trying REALLY hard lately to make fall happen here. I know we still have a few more weeks of summer (well for us Floridians, it's more like a few more months) but my little taste of cooler weather while I was in Wisconsin has me ready to break out the booties and flannel. With the few storm systems we have out in both the Gulf and the Atlantic right now we've had a breezy past few days so I decided to take advantage of the ever so slightly cooler temps. 

This top was one I received in one of my Le Tote (save 20% when you sign up with the code SEQUINS20, code ends today!) boxes and the second I put it on I knew I'd be keeping it. It looks flannel but the material is actually pretty lightweight and I love the zippered shoulder detail. It's the perfect top for the transition from summer to fall and you can't beat the price on it. I wore this outfit during out Fantasy Football draft on Saturday and it was nice and comfy without being too hot. This will definitely be a shirt on massive repeat this fall and I'm not sad about it! And I'm not sorry my Starbucks made a complete appearance in this post either. I haven't had the Starbucks Teavana green tea in forever but when I got it over the weekend I refused to put it down until it was gone. I'm already craving it again today. It's probably a good thing that there isn't a Starbucks within 5 miles of my office or I'd probably be there right now!

Happy Monday friends! Another weekend over too soon. At least next weekend is a long one so I'll try not to be too upset about this one being over. Did any one do anything fun this weekend? Mine was a mix of busy and relaxing... kinda. But I barely took any pictures so you know it was a good one! With football starting up again next week, my weekends are going to start getting busier and busier so I'll take one final "calm" one before the storm. Linking up with Biana for our weekend recap! 

Friday night was a come home from work, make dinner and chill kind of night. I made it through the entire first week back from vacation without coffee so by Friday I was ready to veg out on the couch and relax. Oh and go to bed nice and early!

Saturday I woke up and headed down to the UCF campus to stock up on new football attire for the season. I seriously have more black and gold attire than any one single person should own but hey, I love supporting my alma mater. After some shopping I headed home to prep for our annual Fantasy Football Draft. After the draft we headed to the local brewery down the road for some beer and CAH.

Sunday was a shopping and errands kind of day. Nothing overly exciting but I got a lot done and even managed to hit up Starbucks twice in one weekend! A major accomplishment for me since if I get Starbucks once a month it's unusual. 

Sorry for my absence on Friday. I was insanely busy at work and by the time I got home I was beyond exhausted so I didn't even check my email once. Hopefully this week will be a bit calmer but our all company annual meeting is coming up and I'm presenting (by myself) at it so we'll see. Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Happy Friday sweets! Hope everyone had a fabulous week! I think I'm finally pretty much back into the swing of things from vacation even though I am still definitely missing that Wisconsin weather. Not to mention the food and the beer :) Although I'm pretty sure if I was up there any longer I would have come back at least 5-10 lbs heavier so it's probably a good thing. I have a few things planned this weekend but I definitely plan on relaxing and catching up on my sleep mainly. But until it's weekend time, let's jump into my Friday Favorites with Amanda!

1 // I've been obsessed with lapis lazuli for as long as I can remember, probably mostly because it's my favorite color and it has a hint of sparkle in it. So when I saw Kendra Scott added lapis to their fall collection (as well as a gorgeous granite) I immediately wanted every piece. Obviously that isn't an option so I'd settle for this gorgeous ring. 

2 // These are my new favorite jeans under $100! I love the hint of stretch without them stretching out easily and they're super comfy. The hint of distressed makes them great for dressing up or down too.
3 // I received the Bite Beauty Multisticks from Influenster and at first I wasn't so sure about them but they've definitely grown on me. The Cocoa color is a great eyeshadow color that goes on creamy and doesn't crease and both the Blondie and Macaroon colors are perfect for lips and cheeks! I love that they're lightweight, but still provide a lot of pigmentation and have a great staying power. I put the Cocoa color on at 5:30 am before hopping on my plane last week and it was still going strong when we headed to the football game at 7 pm that night!
4 // At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I am SO ready for fall weather. It usually doesn't get really cold down here in FL so most of the fall/winter I can get away with a heavier cardigan and I am loving this one! The chunky weave, the tassel trim; all perfect!
5 // Speaking of fall (sorry, not sorry) DV does it again with their Target line! These peep toe camel colored booties are the perfect transition booties from summer to fall. Now why can't they have them in my size?!

Happy happy weekend friends!
