The Weekend

Happy Monday! The countdown begins for my trip. I leave in two weeks! I'm still trying to figure out if I need anything else for my trip, but I have been trying hard not to shop too much lately and save as much as I can for my trips. Although all the recent sales make it really hard. Anyway, I hope you had a great weekend. In this post, I'm catching up from my birthday weekend as well as this past one so today you get the two weekends combined.Photo 1: A few favorite navy and black things currently in my wardrobe. This blazer, this dress, the perfect black skinnies, this tee, and this skirt are new favorites.Photo 2: My Paris ballet flats {old from J. Crew, similar here, love these}. They will be perfect for walking the streets of Paris!Photo 3: Some nights I don't feel like cooking, so my dinners have consisted of simple cheese plates. My new favorite topping is this red pepper jelly I found at Williams Sonoma. Spread some goat cheese on a cracker and top it with just a bit of the pepper jelly. So good!Photo 4: A classic outfit on heavy rotation this summer {chambray shirt, white toothpicks, embellished sandals, similar here}. I added this fringe bag recently for my trip to Morocco.Photo 5: The most delicious tacos from Arreira Taqueria in Wilmington.Photo 6: A cool beachy spot at Beach Shop & Grill in Topsail Beach.Photo 7: Pretty little weekend things. {items shown: pink roses, J. Crew necklace & planner, Open Door Shop gold spoons, Apilco Espresso Cup & Saucer, Lamy Safari pen, Honeydew for Madewell Bralette}I also whipped up delicious blueberry pancakes with a streusel topping. I'll be sharing the recipe on Thursday so stay tuned for that.All iPhone photos
