Five on Friday


Gosh, with weather this nice it almost feels like the weekend everyday.  ALMOST.  But I'm ready for the real weekend.  Last one left until the unofficial start to summer… how did that happen?  Is it good or bad that time is flying by so fast?!

Pour me a glass of wine and let's cheers to the weekend! 
Linking up with the usual favorites so let's get right down to it… 



{O N E} Favorite Monogram
I always get a little nervous after an Etsy order.  Will the monogram come out right? Will the patterns I pick match the colors I picked? Will it fit?  Well this one was a success and I can't wait to wear it this summer! 

{T W O} Favorite Pin(s)
I'm very into royal blue as well as navy this year.  I can't seem to get enough.  I'm really after all these looks… 

{T H R E E} Favorite Outfits
 I tried to be a *little* better at outfit photos this week.  Not too much but, it will do.
dress: loft 

shirt: loft // shoes:  tory burch // necklace: kendra scott // earrings: kendra scott

{F O U R} Favorite Recipe
We served this little dip up as one of our appetizers on Easter and it was another easy one (of course) and so delicious! It was gone… very quickly!
Ingredients: 
2 (8 ounce) blocks of cream cheese, softened
1 package dry ranch dressing mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded peper jack cheese
2/3 cup beer 
fritos for dipping (or pretzels/chips/crackers)

Directions:
Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese then add in ranch dressing mix.  Continue mixing and slowly add in beer.  Stir in both cheeses.

Spread mixture into serving dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

{F I V E} Favorite Moments of the Week
I don't really like to share every detail and keep a lot of things to myself but some memories - big or little (sometimes the little ones are the best to keep track of because you'd forget otherwise) are nice to "remember"… 

We had our first official "dinner on the grill" for just the two of us.
 We had another Phillies game this week and the weather was gorgeous! Derek had to work so the original four used the tickets for this game.  Looking forward to many more ballpark nights even if it is to watch "the worst team in baseball" at the moment.
 Weekly dose of Miss Stella… 
 As if Lilly hasn't already won over my heart, personalized advertising will put me right over the edge.
 The weekend started off on a fantastic night with a great girls night happy hour and sushi with my gal, Nina.  Outdoor seating makes everything just a little bit better.

Enjoy your weekends :)

  1. Yay, Friday! Definitely pass the wine ;)!

    That monogram is amazing and that blue and white dress is gorgeous, so pretty for this time of year.

    I agree with not sharing everything, keeping small moments about just the two of you is special. Hooray for the first grill night together, that's so fun. Looks delicious!

    Happy Friday, gorgeous!

  3. Girl, you and I are definitely meant to be friends--we have the same navy/white love this week (and I almost posted one of the pictures you have on there as one of my examples haha). Love that you guys got to eat outside from the grill just the two of you--it's the best! And the Phillies game sounds so fun! My husband and I went once with his parents when we were up there and it was a lot of fun! Hope you have a great weekend girl!
