1 – PEONY SEASON

Happy Saturday and happy Peony season! I always get excited when they start popping up at Trader Joes. A sure sign of summer! Have you been surviving Maycember? It’s always such a crazy month. I’m behind on posting so grab some popcorn! I’m sharing ALL the things today. :)

I took this one last year. They make me happy. :)

Frida Vase

I can’t see peonies and not bring some home! They always look so pretty in this long time favorite vase and it’s on sale right now!

It’s watertight so I don’t need to do this but I a lot of times I set a tall glass in my vases to fill with water. Works great for vases that can’t get wet and is just easy to keep things clean and change the water quickly.

Tall Quin Vase/Green Faux Branches/Celia Woven Tray/Frida Vase

I usually pair peonies with these faux green stems.. always a pretty combo for summer!

3 – RECENT FASHION FINDS

Contrast Detail Cotton Dress (Astr) / Contrast Detail Cotton Dress (Nordstrom) / Clemons Espadrille / Strapless Bra / Seashell Pearl Necklace

A few recent fashion favorites.. LOVE this cute cotton dress! I fell hard as soon as I saw it on-line and really hoped it would be a cute fit. It is! So comfortable and a perfect summer/ vacation dress. Isn’t the necklace fun too!? That’s the Target seashell necklace I shared in a past post. It’s adjustable so you can make it as short/long as you like. I linked my favorite strapless bra too!

I have it on with a pair of wedges I’ve had for years (linked a similar pair above) but it also looks really cute with a thin sandal or flip-flops.

Kaylia Tie Neck Minidress / Classic Half Slip / Butterfly Necklace /Strap Sandal

This is another dress I’m in love with! Definitely a splurge dress. I have a few summer events in mind that it will be perfect for. It’s so flattering with a higher waist and the collar, puff sleeves and black tie are perfection! It’s on the short side (I’m 5’3 1/2) and it runs a little small. I’m usually a 2 in dresses and the 2 worked but I felt more comfortable in a 4 so if you’re in-between sizes I would go up one. You definitely need a slip with this one and I linked my all time favorite half slip that I wear all the time. It’s so lightweight and thin I can’t even tell I have it on!

Bamboo Top Handle Bag / Checkered Runner

Clearly I’m a fan of the black and cream with a tie look. :)

Slingback Heels

Stylish heels for an upcoming event! They are surprisingly comfortable for a high heel and I love the neutral color that will work with any and all dresses.

Nordstrom is having their Half Yearly Sale! Below are a few things I think are worth debating! Several are in my cart at the moment. :)

4 – MCGEE SALE

Eucalyptus Stems, Woven Vase

This gorgeous woven vase is also on sale this weekend! I ordered during the last Mcgee sale. It’s so beautiful! I’ve been using it with my Eucalyptus stems. It comes with a clear glass vase that sits inside of it if you wanted to use it with real flowers/stems too.

5 – SWEATSHIRTS

Lemon Sweatshirt, Lemon Sweatpants , Jeans, Sneakers (similar)

I know it’s heating up for most of you but we always get cool, cloudy weather in May and June. I found a couple of cute sweatshirts that have been keeping me warm on cool days! I couldn’t resist the lemon one of course. It comes with cute matching sweatpants too.

Jeans, Sneakers (similar), Sweatshirt

I knew my husband would like this sweatshirt so had to get it too. :)

6 – TRAMPOLINE/YARD

Tree roots were causing issues and we had to replace the entire framing lumbar.

It has looked like this all week with caution tape around it.. ha.

But now we are up and running with a brand new trampoline ready for summer! We did a little research and liked this trampoline best. It comes with a net if you need one! This in ground trampoline was hands down the smartest thing we put in our yard when our kids were young. They used it more than they used the pool! Now the teens still jump once in a while and we always have friends’ kids on it throughout the year. This wasn’t a project we were expecting or excited to pay for but happy that it’s done. :)

We also planted some new flowers in our front yard. I can’t wait to see them take off!

I added more roses in a few spots around the house too but they aren’t blooming yet. The iceberg roses lining our driveway have been here since we built our house and I love coming home to them.

Wishing you sunshine and flowers this weekend! May is a beautiful month!

If we could only slow down to enjoy it. ;)
