Weekend Update

Is it Monday already? I am always amazed with how fast the weekend goes! I was able to get up to Dallas this past weekend and see my family which was wonderful! The only bad part was leaving on Sunday (with a stomach bug), not fun!! 

Saturday was a great day with family! Every time I spend time there it always makes me sad that I live so far away. 

Here is my weekend in pictures.

{me & my beautiful sister}

the parents to be!

{Yum!!! Nothing can beat homemade ice cream}

{I had my first Smashburger this weekend and lets just say it was amazing!}

{OOTD: Loft dress and jacket, Francesca's necklace, TB sandals}
Forgive me for the blurred iphone pic

{A new wine for you: Apothic Red}
This was a great red blend that wasn't to sweet or to dry.
We paired it with steak and it was just perfect!

I also did a little shopping while in Dallas and picked up my Loft red skinny jeans, denim skinnies, a few blouses & necklaces. Loft had 40% off + I was able to use my savings cards = fabulous buys!! Can't wait to show you all!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Looks like a great weekend (except for a stomach bug, boo!) Love the pictures of your family--I agree, it is so hard living far away. Makes the visits extra special though:) Love your OOTD and can't wait to see your finds at Loft (yay for the skinnies, I wore mine this weekend!)

So great to spend time with family. I live far away from my family too and I know how it is to cherish the little bit of time you share together. Glad you had a great weekend!

If you are a fan of red blends, have you tried the Cupcake Red Velvet yet? Granted I am still kind of an amateur red wine drinker, but I absolutely LOVE it! :) PS - Cute striped dress! I am also a big Loft fan..

What a fun weekend! Homemade ice cream is one of my most favorite things of all time. I've tried various times and for some reason I am terrible at it! :(
