Weekend Update

I had a great weekend that was packed with some shopping and a trip to Austin for soon to be SIL's bachelorette party. 

Saturday
I found some great things on my little shopping trip! I stopped by Gap and have now jumped on the bandwagon of the tee shirt dress and also found some great navy/black ikat shorts on sale for only $20! They had it paired with a bright orange shirt which I loved so plan on pairing them together! I also stopped by Francesca's and found a great dress that I wore that weekend. (sorry for all the iphone self photos)

I then headed up to Austin with my good friend Jen (who is also my future-SIL's cousin) to the W Hotel for a little fun! We had a poolside cabana, facials and a great time people watching. It definitely made me realize that I am not 21 anymore! We then had a little party upstairs before some of the ladies headed out for late night craziness. Sad to say but I didn't make it out. With the sun and pure exhaustion from the week I called it a night and am very happy that I did! I am so excited for Kristi's wedding next month in Costa Rica! The countdown is on now! (seriously how great is that cake???)

Sunday
I decided to do the yard for the hubby since he had a busy weekend away as well. Let me just tell you...this was not a fun endeavor in the 100 degree heat! But I powered through and am pretty proud of myself!! The rest of the day was spent doing a little relaxing!

I hope you all had a great weekend as well! What did you do? Do tell!!
