As I sit here at the end of a long weekend, the only word that comes to mind is exhausted. A good kind though. Between the girl’s early wake-ups due to excitement, being in a new environment, and who knows what else… and all the fun we jam packed into the last three days, it’s 8pm and I’m pretty much ready to call it a night without my own “unwind” time….

The weekend started with an impromptu get together with one of Harper’s friend’s family… then we woke up early Saturday to head down to San Diego to see some good friends and explore… then back home for a family BBQ on Sunday (complete with a Harper directed family dance show…), and now here we are, on the other end of the weekend: tired, but with lots of wonderful memories made.

I hope that everyone here had a wonderful few days, and that the week ahead is a good one!

**I’ll be sharing a recent favorite meal we made, along with June’s capsule wardrobe later this week…
______

(Kicking off the weekend with a morning hike… top, sneakers, bag)

(Loving this soda….)

(A little lunch date with TJ at a favorite spot… pants, top, bag)

(Mellow Friday night at home…)

(Such a fun little experience with the family and friends…. jeans, tank, gold pendant (another almost identical option))

(A little girl time after the zoo at the Alila Marea Hotel….)

(MDW weekend outfit… cool and drizzly, so the cotton pullover was the perfect top layer… tank, lounge pants)

(Ending the weekend with gooey s’mores…)

We’re heading to Hawaii with my family at the end of this week and I have everything I am packing all planned out:
I’m packing this little black linen dress, black strapless dress, white flowy dress (under $50 similar option if you’re look for a white dress), and this white ruffle skirt/top combo (I got this last year and bring it on all our trips), strapless linen dress…
These linen shorts…
Eyelet cover-up, black sarong wrap, oversized gauze maxi button down, crochet halter dress…
And then many of the swimsuits I already own… like this black and white contrast suit (under $50 option), black bottoms and bandeau top, copper two piece…
And these black flip-flops and these tan and sparkle ones (which I’ve had for almost 3 years)…
and my favorite black and white canvas bag (so roomy!)…
and for walks/hikes I’m bringing along this workout dress (so comfortable), these shorts (love the material), and this tank (luckily there is a washer/dryer so I’m only bringing a few workout items)…
