Last Friday in June {Friday Favorites}


We are just one week away from a holiday weekend - amen to that! I can't wait to share some of my Fourth of July favorites next week and am so ready to celebrate America.  But until then it's just a regular old Friday over here and it looks like it's going to be a regular old weekend since the unpleasant forecast seems to have cancelled our plans but that's okay - a weekend to relax and recharge is okay with me!

Let's get into some favorites…








 Linking up today with April, Karli, Amanda and Erika

{O N E} Target Finds 

I have been loving Target more than ever lately.  After I read on Meg's blog about the cartwheel app I love it even more! Rompers and swim - bathing suit tops to match some recent bottoms and coverups - have been my most favorite lately.  I went into the store hoping to find this romper, which I did and fell in love! As a bonus I found this one too and it was a happy day. Bonus, they are buy 1 get 1 50% off right now so get to it!  

{T W O} Gardening Progress
I am really enjoying having my "mini garden" this year in addition to keeping all our flowers going and I thought it was time to show some progress about a month in - hopefully I'll remember to track the progress all summer.  The mint is strong, full and ready to be used - the zucchini we almost lost in the storm this week but it seems to be bouncing back, other than major growing no signs yet - and the cherry tomatoes ares slowly starting to show.



{T H R E E} Comfy Shorts
I love me some "comfy" shorts as I call them - aka no button shorts.  Usually once we get home from work we throw on sweats so I wanted to find some shorts that felt like sweats but looked nicer.  All three of these were perfect finds because I'd wear them out of the house too! The old navy linen shorts are most definitely a favorite, pretty much a new obsession.

{F O U R} Favorite Pin(s)
Like always I love a theme so todays pins are all about a summer favorite - watermelon.  Margarita soaked watermelon?  Two of my favorite flavors? YES!  




{F I V E} Excited About
Anniversary trip planning! We are doing our anniversary trip in August since we'll have a weekend getaway on our actual anniversary for another wedding (but it's also back to the city we met, the first time we've been back in years so that's fun!) so it's time to get this trip planned.  Planning for a vacation is one of my favorite hobbies. 

How did you celebrate your first anniversary??

  1. Last Friday in June, you're kidding? Didn't summer just start? WOW!

    Yummy to all the watermelon and margarita flavored watermelon sounds amazing, just amazing!

    Woohoo anniversary planning, how exciting! We just did a stay cation in DC since we had already traveled to seven states earlier in the year. It was a fabulous anniversary exploring a city we rarely take the time to see. I say don't worry about it being a HUGE trip, just do something that means something to y'all and will be fun, too! Happy Friday, gorgeous!

  7. I want to kiss whomever decided to make comfy, cute, no button shorts a thing! They are the best - hands down! Love your picks. Those rompers are adorable too and will look great on you! Good luck with your veggies! I'm still having to put a lot more effort into keeping my flowers alive than I would like but my husband is dying for "us" to grow veggies. Maybe next year!

  14. Thanks for the reminder that it's the last Friday of June. #yikes Ha! Target is the happiest place on earth - I love the rompers that you found! I'm due for a trip to Old Navy, too, so I'll be checking out the comfy shorts. Where are you going for your anniversary trip? We spent our first one in Las Vegas - pretty memorable to say the least, lol. Have a good weekend, friend!

  19. Old Navy is one of my favorite places to get shorts! Last summer I bought like 4 different pairs. I also got a pair from JCrew a few weeks ago for like $16! i love them because they're a tad longer than my Old Navy ones so I don't feel like my butt is hanging out of them. I should have bought another pair! lol

    I love planning trips too! so much fun! Enjoy the planning! :)

  38. Cartwheel is the best!!! We've been discussing our anniversary trip again - ideas have been Half Moon Bay, NYC again), or college hopping on the east coast.... TBH, as much as I want to explore the east coast, I think I would rather spend my anniversary in a fancy hotel and enjoy a city... Not do "work" on it... Am I right?! Lol
