Friday Favorites

Just a few of my favorite things.....
Perfect for the natural and not trying too hard Summer glow  (especially when you've been indoors everyday and anything else screams SPRAY TAN!) 
'

My tried and true mascara. I always get tempted to try other brands but nothing makes my lashes pop like Stila. 

J.Crew striped tees. Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer -I'm wearing them. 

Ruffled bikini bottoms. J.Crew. 


Natori bras. Heaven sent for the bustier set.  Find them at Nordstrom or Bloomies. 

Starbucks iced lattes for sanity.

Fourth of July at the Beach


I'm heading to the beach for the next week. I can't wait to spend the 4th of July there along with one of my good friends! Right after that I'll be heading up to NYC to visit the boy. I can't wait for this little mini vacation. I'll be sure to keep up with blogging to keep you posted on our adventures.

Recently....

Bayside Bride, the wonderful bridal blog I'm interning for,  published my article on Lisbon, Portugal as a honeymoon destination. It really is one of my favorite destinations and I'd love it if you read the article! 




JP and I headed to the Hot Chelle Rae and Demi Lovato concert at Wolftrap. Wolftrap is a great place to have a little picnic, wine, and listen to some of your favorite music. However, we were surrounded by preteens. O well, we enjoyed watching some of the funny dynamics and middle school level flirting going on. Demi Lovato and Hot Chelle Rae both sounded fantastic live though, so don't fear if the preteen in your life drags you to a concert! 

Our spread. 

As you can see, the crowd behind us is a little bit on the younger side haha! 


Turns out we have a rosemary plant in our backyard. I had no idea my parents had taken to growing herbs (the things parents do once they become empty nesters!). Anyways, I love rosemary and put it to use to create a very easy and healthy summer pasta inspired by this recipe http://www.marthastewart.com/337683/pasta-with-rosemary-shrimp-scampi.  


Yum!

Mojitos, Chocolate, and Ice Cream

We celebrated one of my best friends Jewish Princess's 21st birthday this week! We headed to a Mexican restaurant for mojitos. However, the best part was the chocolate empanada Fellow Lilly Lover and I shared. Incredible does not even cover that ooey gooey chocolate goodness! Happy birthday J and may 21 be your best year yet! (And thanks for being the only person to watch scary movies with me!)
