summer bucket list

So, I planned on doing a look for less post today, and then once I sat down and started, I realized two of my looks were sold out! So here we are at Plan B - my summer bucket list! It's beginning to really feel like summer, isn't it?! It has finally stopped raining every single day here in Lexington and the temperatures are getting higher and I LOVE it. I just wish that I could enjoy the summer days like I used to - being at the pool or beach with friends! I have a few trips coming up in July (Charleston and Austin !!!!!), but for the weekends that I am in Lexington, I want to make sure I make the most of them.

go to a drive-in movie   |  Growing up, going to the drive-in was a summer ritual. My mom would make homemade caramel corn and we'd pack up the suburban with tons of blankets and friends. There are a few drive-ins near lexington that look like good options - just need a great movie! 


visit 3 new breweries   |   Lexington doesn’t just do bourbon - they do craft beer, too! There are quite a few breweries in the area and I need to make a day of visiting them and trying out the different beers. 


go cabrewing   |   This is one of my favorite summer activities. Grab a group of friends, pack a cooler full of summer shandys and take a canoe trip down the river. It’s just the happiest day!


make s’mores   |   Because, why not? Is there anything that feels more summer than a great, melty s’more? I didn’t think so. Make sure to watch The Sandlot while eating s'mores. 


host olympics party   |   The Summer Olympics are hands down one of my favorite sporting events. I just want to take off work and do nothing but watch everything, even archery (it's addicting!) My friends and I are planning a beer olympics day for opening ceremonies, which is sure to be an eventful day.


What's on your summer bucket list? Did any of mine make yours?

WHAT TO PACK: MEMORIAL DAY


Yall ready for a 4 day weekend?! Friday at 5:00 seriously cannot come soon enough. I'm headed to my friends' lake house in southern Illinois and am so ready for some sun, relaxation, margarita buckets, and boat time. What are your plans? Does the above packing list fall into your travel plans?

STUCK IN COLDER WEATHER...MAYBE TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER










I mean, y'all. I can't handle the cold and depressing winter weather anymore! I know Nashville hasn't even gotten the tiniest bit of snow or ice, but that's almost worse when it's 13 degrees outside. At least make the cold worthwhile, amiright?! Regardless, I can't handle the cold for much longer. I am in desperate need of sunshine and using the above pictures as happiness and warmer weather inspiration. I'll just keep repeating to myself "36 days until spring, 36 days until spring", click my heels, and maybe I'll magically wind up on one of these beaches. Worth wishing for, at least!

Happy Thursday!

Wishful Wednesday

Wishful Wednesday

As the weather gets warmer and warmer, I can't help but wish for a new pair of neutral wedges. In my opinion, this kind of shoe is worth every bit of money spent. I wear them everywhere with everything because they are so versatile. Neutral wedges are like a Jack Rodger Navajo sandal, but with more height and oomph, perfect when you want to dress up a bit. These are a few options I have been wistfully looking at, and although the DVF and Tory Burch wedges are far out of my budget, the Dolce Vita, Franco Sarto, and BCBGeneration ones certainly could do. And maybe the Jack Rogers if I don't spend any money for a month! I can't decide which is my favorite, but I know as the summer months approach, I won't be able to hold out without investing in a new pair for Summer 2012!
