Greetings from the East Coast! We have spent the last few days in NYC and will be headed to DC tomorrow! Here are a few iPhone pictures so far:

Workweek Date Night

I like to spruce up the workweek, who says weekends get all the fun??!

 

Option #1: Dinner Alfresco

 

Wear an oxford top, skirt and pumps to work so you can easily change into something a bit more casual after work. I'm loving both of these outfits:

Oxford // Skirt // Shorts // Pumps (my favorite!) // Wedges

 

I love to eat alfresco but watch out for those mosquito's! I recommend heading to dinner right after work (that way you can still be in bed at a decent hour!)

 

Option #2: Spruce up your normal routine

 

Instead of coming home and ploping down on the couch, make an assortment of appetizers for dinner and eat by candlelight. You could also make a batch of fancy popcorn to go along with your favorite TV show!

 

My favorites:

-Crackers and an assortment of cheeses (think Brie, Gouda, & Extra Sharp Cheddar)

-Pretzel thins and dip (my favorite is the Artichoke Lemon Dip from whole foods)

-Sliced fresh fruit

-Mini sandwiches

-Baguette and Olive Oil Dip

-Mini homemade pizzas

-Truffle popcorn

 

What will you be doing tonight??!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! It's been a long week for me, but I am super excited to be laying by the pool this time tomorrow! A few things that brightened up my week:

 

1. I'm planning myself a Lilly themed birthday party for next month! My inspiration board:

2. I was going back and forth on a minty dress to wear to my mom's wedding in September.. But then I saw this LaRoque Dress was on flashsale I knew it would be perfect!

 

3. Best. Wedges. Ever! So comfy and in nude- perfect for work or play!

 

What are your favorites from this week?!

Derby Wine Tasting

 As you know, the Kentucky Derby was on Saturday.. which means our annual Kentucky Derby Wine Tasting with my Junior League friends!

 

This year we rented a SUV limo and headed to a few wineries in Lodi! So fun to see everyone in their big hats and sundresses!

 

Jenn from West Sac Honey recently joined JL and it was so fun getting to know her! 

 

I placed my bet on Charming Kitten, chosen only by name of course- so it should be no surprise that  I lost! Which horse did you all bet on?

 

I also brought all the goodies to make our own mint juleps during our picnic lunch!

 

My dress is Lilly Pulitzer Lacina Dress in the Multi Written in the Stars print. I almost wore the Chin Chin dress, but luckily I didn't becasue one of the other girls was wearing it too!

Linking up with Sami for my Weekend Recap! 

How did you celebrate the Derby?

May Day

Happy 1st day of May! This is a super busy month for me- as we are spending two weeks in NYC/DC! But also plenty of parties planned and happy hours in between!

 

Last night we went to dinner and I wore this:

 

Skirt: J.Crew // Sweater: J.Crew // Necklace: Kate Spade

 

 

Anyone else have any fun May plans?

Junior League Gala

This past weekend, I attended our Junior League's 70th Anniversary Gala held at the Crocker Muesum in Downtown Sacramento! It was an absolutely fabulous time!

 

I know I talked about wearing a Lilly dress, but after speaking with a few other girls attending I decided on this Elizabeth McKay dress!

 

 

I'm so glad I did! Such a beautiful fabric and print.

CWF & I

 

A few full outfit shots before the event:

Lilly Pulitzer Shawl // Shoes: Jimmy Choo // Necklace: J.Crew

Getting ready for a fancy event like this is really half the fun! I loved getting my hair and makeup done!
