Weekend Wants- If money was NO object...

Whenever I shop for my Weekend Wants, I always find so many pricey items that I would get in a heartbeat if I had unlimited funds. I thought it would be fun to "reach for the stars" and make these items my Weekend Wants this time around. 

A girl can dream, right?

Some Long Over Due Weekend Wants!

After a two week hiatus, I am back to blog world. The past two weeks have been filled with cheer camp, practices, sales calls galore and the Colorado Spirit Coaches Conference (which I was at participated in both as a vendor and a coach). I just woke up from a nice 2.5 hour nap outside in my new hammock and I'm feeling refreshed. I'm finally back to my blog and shouldn't be going anywhere for a while.  I look forward to catching up reading all of the blogs I follow. I bet there's a lot I've missed in 2 weeks!

But anywho- here are this week's Weekend Wants. Everything's under a hundred!

Enjoy!

Key to My Heart - Virtual OOTD

Last night was my hub's 10 year high school reunion and I really wanted to go, but he didn't. He told me if we didn't go, he would take me out to the Melting Pot for dinner (with his own money, so that it didn't come out of our "spending" money). I couldn't pass up this deal - That place is my absolute favorite restaurant! I am still full today.

Today is a lazy day for me. Just catching up on blogs and organizing. Sometime today I will need to clean and catch up on laundry. Why do weekends have to go by so quickly? This week is going to be SO busy! I am a cheer coach and I am taking my team to cheer camp for 4 days. It will be fun- but very tiring. I'll be spending the beginning of the week working extra since I'm taking Thursday and Friday off. Not to mention cheer practice on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to get ready for camp and all of the hours of planning to make sure camp goes off without a hitch. I am a little overwhelmed to say the least. 

Fashion makes everything better! I created a Virtual OOTD today. I am loving bright colors and key necklaces right now!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Cute Floral Shorts OOTD

So after almost 3 years of being married (July 7th), the hubs and I decided to finally go on a honeymoon! We are either planning on going to Hawaii or a cruise! We've been together for 11 years and have never been on a non-family related vacation together. We are looking to go this December.

With that being said, we made a goal to see how much we can save in one month meaning no new purchases (with the one exception of the Anthopologie Free Flow tank that goes on sale for $39.95 tomorrow!). I am actually looking forward to exploring the unknown (aka my closet). I can't wait to see what I find.

Last week I got these shorts I've been eyeing for quite a while. They are so comfortable and I got many compliments on them.

The Lowdown...

Top: Frenchi Extra Long Tee (Nordstrom) - The little pocket is so cute!

Shorts: Lily White Floral Short (Nordstrom)

Shoes: Mia Hayat Gladiator (Piperlime)

Necklace: (Nordstrom, not online) (similar here)

But anyway, I have a winner to announce!

And the winner of the OPI mini nail polish, vintage inspired earrrings and the Starbucks gift card is...

Congratulations and Enjoy!

Again, thanks to everyone who participated!
