Hi girls, how was your weekend? I have to say, I’m totally pooped! Between hosting, cleaning, errands, gardening and going out, it was a pretty busy weekend and I’m ready for a nap! I have a few pictures to document it, per usual, so let’s jump into the recap…
ABOVE: HEALTHY PANCAKES
As an aside, I’ve been adding two crushed up GG crackers + 1/3 – 1/2 cup of oats to my pancakes. I have always added the oats, I find it just helps them stay together, plus adds a little more substance to my breakfast, but adding the GG Crackers ups the fibre. I tried using only GG Crackers (or Bran Buds), but the consistency was awful. I find two crackers gives them a nice bran element–if you like that sort of thing–without sacrificing the density.
I went out to see Marco and my best gal pal playing a softball tournament on Saturday. It was a gorgeous sunny day, so perfect to be outside. They lost, but still were in good spirits.
After hanging out for a while thereafter, I headed over to the gym before heading home to relax for a bit.
That night, we headed out for our friend’s birthday and ended up at The Waverly, a hot spot downtown, and danced the night away.
WALMART ROLLING STONES TEE (SIMILAR) | LEATHER JACKET | VERO MODA SKIRT — OLD (SIMILAR) | STEVE MADDEN SHOES (SIMILAR, LOVE THESE) | BAG
I can’t get enough of this tee! I wore it last weekend with black denim and this weekend I dressed it up. I had several girls stop me because they loved it too. I actually found mine at Walmart for $12 (score!) in the men’s section; they had Pink Floyd, Guns N Roses & AC/DC as well. I had the G&R one in my cart as well but decided I just needed the one for now 😉
Band tees are a huge trend right now, so if you can find one for cheaper, why not?! The fabric is a little thicker and stiffer on this one, so I think you might be sacrificing that with a cheaper one like mine, but I don’t mind. I also like to roll the sleeves up to add some interest. Also thinking of snipping a few holes around the neckline but was rushing out the door on Saturday night. I’m wearing a size medium which is a slim fit, but not tight.
AE CROP TOP — OLD (SIMILAR) | LULULEMON LEGGINGS — OLD (SIMILAR) | POP SOCKET
After a late night on Saturday, we slept in on Sunday which was amazing. Eventually got up, did the pancakes routine 😉 and got ready for the gym.
We ended up grabbing breakfast after I workout but I forgot to snap a pic before I dove in. Then we ran a couple errands.
I spent the rest of the afternoon outside weeding the garden–ugh! Marco is definitely great with the lawn care and gardening and he planted a few beautiful gardens last year when we moved in, to get things started. This year, I actually planted a few things myself, but we haven’t dedicated much time to weeding and it’s taking a toll! I’ve never been one for gardening, but thought maybe I could get into it. I brought out the portable speaker, had my “gardening clothes” on, and was getting down to business. I did a good chunk but man, it’s a lot of work. I’m sure many of you are laughing at me right now, but hey, it is what it is!
For dinner, Marco whipped up some Asian-style BBQ chicken, and we had a ton of left over Boston lettuce from a BBQ we hosted on Friday night with his softball team so I made it into a lettuce wrap. I also added some pickled eggplant after I took this pic and it was so good. Also still loving making my chocolate avocado pudding for a sweet snack in the evenings.
Hope you all had an amazing weekend. Tomorrow I’m sharing the wedding dresses that didn’t make the cut!
