I am a girly-girl, no question about it. I love fashion, shoes and getting dressed up. I can roll with the guys, but prefer to roll with the girls. I absolutely have more girl friends than I do guy friends; I simply love bonding with women.
I have a few guy friends, and they are great as there is never drama and it's a simple friendship, but not much can beat a shopping trip, gossip sesh or brunch with my ladies.
I know there is that stereotypical drama thing that can happen, but what's a little drama when the ultimate benefits of women friendships are so wonderful.
Do you have more girl or guy friends?
Typically the weekend starts Friday night but on Thursday I came home after work for an amazing surprise: flowers sitting in my apartment with a sweet note and gift card from my boyfriend. What a little trickster! A better look at the bouquet HERE.
On Friday morning I got my car back from the dealership (unfortunately, I've been having a reoccuring problem that they can't seem to solve. Fortunately, I have a warranty and have been given loaner vehicles during the interim). I was so happy to have her back! Sadly, she acted up again on Saturday and is alas, back at the dealership as you read this.
Friday night thai take-out.
Home-made breakfast on Saturday morning; yes, that is a bacon basket & I only ate a quarter of my toast (weekends are for indulging).
Saturday afternoon I spent the day shopping with a friend. I ended up scoring three items: a white sweater (see below & in background), a lilac crochet skirt (see below) and a sweet open thing bangle-cuff (see below).
Outfit deets: Garage denim jacket & Joe Fresh dress (old).
Saturday ended up being a beautiful day so I snapped a shot of my view. I'll never tire of looking at this (although I will eventually be moving. Eventually).
Saturday night was an all-girls' birthday dinner for a friend (we all wore silly glasses). Since we went to an Italian restaurant, everything was pizza and pasta (well, almost everything) so I opted for a gluten-free chicken & portabello pizza. Honestly, it tasted like crap and I won't be doing that again.
Saturday night outfit.
Outfit deets: unknown brand top (from Marshalls last year & I finally ripped off the tags to wear it this night), American Eagle skirt (new!), Zara heels & studded Aldo clutch.
From left to right: American Eagle (the new on I was talking about, above), gifted chain-link, F21 gun metal, Swarovski, gifted square bangle & F21.
On Sunday I met up with a girl friend for brunch and then headed to my parent's place. Later on I did groceries and poked around Joe Fresh and snapped this shot after I tried on some t-shirts (but didn't purchase anything).
Outfit deets: Gap denim jacket (thrifted & DIY bleached), unknown sweater from Winners (new!), Sirens shorts (seen HERE in pink) & unknown sandals (old).
I spent the afternoon detailing Kiki and she's lookin' so nice now (despite being at the dealership #wahwah).
I got to hang out with this little girl, Peanut, while working on my car. She's so cute: I had my mats out of my car because I was washing them and while they were on the ground drying, she kept trying to lie on them! What a weirdo.
On Sunday evening I threw on my new (thrifted) Mexx jacket and some jeans and ran out the door. Monday looked rainy and then it turned sunny and I had a pre-season beach volleyball practice in the afternoon, which was fun. The evening was low key so I didn't snap any pics.
Let's Chat sesh coming up this afternoon!
Hey guys, just wanted to check in but not going to do a full post today. I'm having a bit of an off day, so I'm going to leave it at that. I'll be back to regular posting tomorrow, with a long-weekend recap.
Hope you had a great weekend! See you tomorrow.
Outfit deets:
* W118 by Walter Baker peplum top (from Winners; new! Here in red & blue).
* Mexx bubble skirt (old) which you've seen (a long time ago!) with a denim jacket & belted (this post is almost embarassing), and in my parent's garage & similarly in grey (on contrary, love this post).
* Zara heels (new!) which I've worn the heck out of in a matter of two weeks. I love these shoes so much and they are comfortable (way more comfy than my newest Prabal Gurung neon heels).
* Urban Expressions purse; I normally carry this purse only in the fall, but recently broke it out and am loving it for Spring.
* Accessories: Auslini bangle, H&M necklace & Gucci shades.
Happy Friday everyone!
Last night my bestie and I hit up Le Nordik nature spa, which is like an indoor/outdoor spa with tons of different baths (read: pools) that have different temperatures, various saunas, lounges, an infiniti pool, a restaurant, fire pits, bean bag chairs, hanging chairs, hammocks, and loung chairs distributed throughout the property, which is located in the the middle of a forest. It's stunning and beautiful, and oh-so-relaxing and it was my first time there. We spent the majority of our time in the hotter baths and experienced a really cool sauna aromatherapy show (I almost didn't last in there, it got that hot). After a few hours, we bunked up in our fluffy towels in the lounge and had some wine and gourmet appetizers (I tried a wild bison sausage and she had a roasted olive plate). I didn't snap any pictures as I left my phone in my locker and it was a night to disconnect and unwind; you know, without technology.
This weekend is a long one and I'm so glad it's finally here. The days seem to be filling up, which is so much fun because I love being busy, but with relaxing type plans, know what I mean?
Tonight I'm going on a date, tomorrow there is a shopping date with a girl friend, tomorrow night there a birthday party for another girl friend and on Sunday morning I'm getting together with a different girl friend for brunch. On Monday I have a volleyball pre-season practice for the upcoming session which starts next Thursday. See? Busy, but enjoyable, relaxed plans.
What are you up to this weekend? Have a great one!
