A weekend of racing, tasting and relaxing

I love the weekends!  The only thing I wish I could change is adding a day between Saturday and Sunday. :)

Here are a few pictures from my favorite 48-hours of the week.  We squeezed in hanging out Friday night with my sister Jessica, racing on Saturday, dinner on Saturday night at one of my favorite places, Taverna Opa in Orlando and lake time with the fam Sunday.

PF + MK

Did that just happen?  I went to the lake today with my family and left a little early for a haircut.
I still get my hair done in Orlando near where I used to work so when I am over that way, I try to schedule my appointments.
Simon called me while I was getting my hair done and said he was going out with friends for a little while so I decided to grab food to go.  PF Chang's is one of my fave spots so I ordered some take-out.  The sweet server said "Your order will be ready in 15 or 20 minutes.  Want to stroll the mall and come back and grab your food?"  Sure, what a great idea.  Nothing too serious can happen in 15 minutes.
I have had my eye on a couple new bags so I took a quick walk to the Michael Kors store.  Well, in the blink of an eye, I was at the register swiping my card.  Did that just happen?  Yes, in fact it did.  In a record seven minutes from the time I placed my order.
I also scored an extra fortune cookie.  What a great day. :)

Summer Style

August is here and that means summer is almost over.  We had rain 27 out of the last 31 days so I am hoping for a somewhat dry August before we head into fall.  I have been on the go and have been relying on a few pieces to get me through my weekends.
I put together my first collage (thanks for the help Annie) showing some of my favorite pieces.

Elizabeth Porter

Simon got me these earrings at Christmas.  I have been wearing them all summer.  I wear mostly stud-earrings and these are some of my faves.  For sandals, these MKs are great.  They are very comfy and never gave me blisters plus they are cute with dresses, shorts and jeans and have just enough heel to be nicer than flip flops but still great to walk around in.  My watch was another gift from Simon.  I have several of these MK watches.  I love the boyfriend style and favor pieces that are good to wear at work, out and about and weekends.  I have had this bag for a few seasons and finally eyed a new one that I may trade up to.  This bag is really roomy and has been a good buy.

Stripes and basics have been my summer wardrobe.  I ventured out with my first colored denim and picked up these bottoms from Loft.  They hold their shape during the day and are cute full-length or rolled up to a small cuff.  The BR soft long sleeve is perfect for the days I have been on the water all day and I grabbed this cute striped suit while I was out of town and needed one quick. Lastly, another BR piece, I have worn this skirt with every color top from pink to orange to white and it's really cute.

My first collage is complete.  So exciting.  I have found some great summer-to-fall transition pieces and can't wait to create my next board.
