Happy Sunday! Two things to kick off our week! For starters I turned 49 last week! Wow.. how quickly the last year in my 40’s snuck up! So grateful for another beautiful year. I’m also grateful that Addison’s college Spring Break always lines up with my birthday week so I get the whole family together to celebrate! Second thing – I’m mixing up my weekend posts and switching from Saturday 6 and the Sunday Edit to one blog post that will go out on Sunday called Sunday 6. It will include my 6 things and then the weekly round-ups all in one post! My goal is to get another post or two up each week and to keep the six things I’m sharing on Sunday a little shorter. Saturday 6 was always supposed to just be 6 quick pictures of favorites I’m loving but I’m so long winded it turned into a weekly novel with all the things going on around here. Ha! Let’s see if I can be more concise and pop in more often! Change is always a good thing right? If this change isn’t we’ll change it again. Even at 49 years old I’m tricky like that. :)

Love my friends! We had a quick lunch to celebrate with whoever could make it. I also love that I’ve had enough birthday lunches and get togethers and holiday parties with everyone that my friends are all friends with each other now too. Some of them already were but now they all are. :)

1 – SMOCKED TOPS

Smocked Top (all colors)

Moving on to 6 things I’m loving because I’m keeping this post short right!? I love this smocked top so much! I wasn’t sure how it fit so I ordered it in 3 colors and 3 sizes and laughed because I want to keep them all as is! I got the white in my size but petite and it’s darling as more of a cropped top. It barely touches the top of my really high waisted jeans. I ordered the blue in xs regular and it fits perfect too.. short but not as cropped so I would say this top is true to size. I ordered the navy in small (one size up) and the sleeves and length are just a little longer so it works as more of a full length top. I’m wearing the navy in the family pic above.

My outfit: Smocked Tee Madewell, Smocked Tee also at Nordstrom, Mary Jane Flat, Paige Canyon Bootcut Jeans Petite, Regular Paige Canyon Jeans,

2 friends: Puff Sleeved Top Amazon

5 of us wore white tops to lunch so we had to get a pic! Must be spring. :) The white top I’m wearing is a different smocked top I’m also loving! I have it in green too. It’s Madewell but you can also buy it at Nordstrom. My jeans are also a newer favorite.. I got them in my regular size but petite for length. Two of my friends had on this puff sleeved top from Amazon and it looks EXACTLY like one from Anthro. Comes in lots of cute colors too! We’re all buying it!

2 – PERSONALIZED GIFTS

Cosmetic Bag, Green Bag

I will have to share all the cute gifts my friends spoiled me with at some point but in the spirit of keeping things shorter (see.. I’m trying!) I’ll just share a couple of personalized gifts that I loved! One was this cute cosmetic bag. I thought it was from a local boutique or something but nope.. Amazon for the win again! I love that it has my birth year on it and it’s so cute and colorful. A thoughtful and unique personalized gift that I will absolutely use to hold make-up and all sorts of things. I had to share that little gem of an idea! (Also the cute green purse above is from Anthro. Anyone who knows me at all knows that something green or from Anthro is another easy win!)

Another cute personalized gift idea! I love blow pop suckers and eat one almost every night. Popcorn and a sucker is my usual movie night treat and a few of my friends discovered this a couple of years and thought it was so funny. When I opened this it just made me laugh! My friend who gave me this gave me another fun “real” gift with it, but guess which gift meant the most and I’ll always remember? It reminded me that personalized gifts are special and they don’t need to be expensive or elaborate. They remind you of a connection and make you feel seen and understood and loved. All that from a bag of blow pop suckers. Where’s the watermelon or strawberry? They are my favorite. :)

3 – SPRING TRAY

Abaca Tray, Flower Arrangement, Salt Mill, Pepper Mill

This tray is so beautiful! Pricey and not very large (and this is the large size) but it’s so pretty and I love the bamboo handles! I keep moving it around my house and trying it in new spots.

4 – FAVORITE JUTE PORCH RUG

Jute Handwoven Rug

I started decorating my porch for spring and will share it soon! I pulled out this long time favorite porch rug and still love it as much as I did when I first discovered it years ago! It’s so beautiful and a perfect neutral base for layering other fun rugs and door mats on top each season.

5 – BEST FAUX TREES

Faux Olive Tree

I’m always mixing up the faux trees on my porch and have ordered many faux trees from Amazon. I’ve returned my fair share too! This tree is honestly one of the best I’ve seen. I’m so happy with it! Incredibly realistic and exactly what I was looking for. I quickly ordered one more for my porch and am debating ordering a third to put inside my house because I like it even more than a few I have inside. This is the 7 foot!

6 – PILL ORGANIZER

Pill Organizer

I’ve had this pill organizer for a while in the color green but after organizing my bathroom drawers so pretty I wanted something more asthetic that didn’t show my supplements through it! Loving this. I must be 49 if I’m talking about pretty pill organizers. Ha! Leaning in and not looking back. ;)

Have the best start to your week and enjoy the cute spring decor and favorite round-ups below!
