Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

8/25/2014

 
Another weekend gone by way too fast! I definitely felt like I was pretty much non-stop on the move this weekend so I'm definitely wishing I was still in bed a little more than usual this morning. Actually, I definitely don't feel like I spent enough quality time with my bed this weekend, I'll need to do my best to make up for that next weekend... even though I already know next weekend is going to be a bit busy too. If I could sleep in past 7:30 am on the weekends that would really help! Oh well enough of that! Time to link up with Biana and Meghan for another Weekending post!
 
 
 
I started out my weekend with a nice and relaxing pedicure. I went with one of my favorite summer go-to colors, OPI Cajun Shrimp, one last time before I full switch over to more "fall" appropriate colors. I say this now but I've been known to bust out a random "summer" color during fall so if you see me rocking this color again, don't judge ;) And no, that orange thing I have on in the pictures is NOT an article of clothing I'm wearing. The theme to my nail salon is "beachy" so they have sarongs they give out to ladies wearing skirts or dresses. 
 
 
If you missed it on Instagram, I also started my weekend by doing the ALS Ice Bucket challenge. I'm not going to lie, it's been so hot down here that the ice water didn't even feel all that horrible!


I started out my Saturday at this little cutie's first birthday! Isn't she gorgeous? It's hard to believe that a year ago she was born three month's premature. She's such a little cutie and I'm so happy and thankful I got to see her celebrate her first birthday! Saturday was the day of parties for me. I ended the day at Kerri's housewarming/bar crawl party.
 
 
 Leave it to me to order the drink with the flower... so fancy! I've been using a co-worker's New Year's Resolution of drinking more champagne so I ordered drinks with champagne in them all weekend. Definitely not disappointed there!


Sunday I met up with the same co-worker who's champagne plan I stole to do a few photo shoots for the week. She seriously has an amazing style, it was so fun getting to take pictures of her and have her give input on my outfits. After our shoot we headed over to enjoy this ginormous plate of nachos... worth every bite, I assure you, and a few adult popsicles since it was like 302 degrees outside. That is not even an exaggeration. I think summer is really confused. It's been scream/cry worthy hot here the past few days. I'm definitely ready for some cooler weather!
 
 
Hope everyone has a fabulous week! I'm hoping my internet will hold up this week. It's be intermittently going out so if I don't respond... that's why. I swear I'm not ignoring you!

  5. Cajun Shrimp is one of my favorite nail colors too! That and Essie's "Sunday Funday"... so pretty! And I will continue rocking "summer colors" until it cools off around here... oh and my white skirts/pants!

    And LOVING the idea to have more champagne, I may just have to steal that one too because champs is always a good idea ;-)

  14. I'm with you on the sleeping in thing. I just can't seem to make it past 7:00am Saturday and Sunday. Cajun Shrimp is my go-to color when I'm not sticking with typical red. I like your resolution to drink more champs! Maybe I should join you on that one because it NEVER disappoints!

  19. that nail colour is super cute, i would totally rock that in fall lol. i dont really follow 'season' appropriate nail colours when i do them, which isnt often anyway. i am still jealous of your weather, the hottest it's been here this year is like 98 degrees. pathetic!
