Date Night/Blog-versary

One year ago today...I embarked on this blogging journey and haven't looked back since! It has been so amazing to receive so much love from friends, family, and wonderful strangers! I now have a growing fashion blog, an Indy Style Blogger group, and a community of fellow bloggers to emulate. Thank you to everyone for your support and for stopping by my little adventure!

Anywho, date night...

Aaron and I attempt to have one wonderful night devoted to each other; because work, family, friends, and random stresses take precedence during the week. Friday night we went out to Drakes and enjoyed some delicious fare paired with even more delicious beer! Afterwards, we headed to Cooper's Hawk to pick up our monthly wine and of course partake in their super fun and yummy wine tastings. It's so nice when we get to spend quality time together and indulge in both unhealthy and non-budget friendly activities. We try to stay healthy and on budget 5-6 days a week, so it's important to us to allow ourselves some fun! 

My look for the evening was this freaking adorable top I snagged at Nordstrom, in their Savvy department. It is slightly cropped, so I figured these high waisted jeans would be a great pairing. I don't usually wear heels, but if not on date night, when? I love these bootie/sandal/pumps from Shoedazzle! I put links to super cute similar options below. Topping off any look with a clutch is perfect for a chic night out on the town!

What's your date night like?

Culottes? I think yes!

Lilac, lavender, light ass purple...whatever you want to call it, this is my new favorite color for Spring. I found this beautiful top at Von Maur on sale and I was instantly sold! I also found these amazing culottes for just $19!! The two pieces together pair perfectly and make for a great look for a night out on the town. I had to throw on a statement piece, since the two items are pretty neutral and with that 'top off' the outfit was set. This pastel trend is making my heart melt and my spirits rise up to the trend-casion. Stay posted, because a pastel pink will eventually make it to the blog too!

p.s. remember that amazing clutch I got in a recent Le Tote?? My amazing bf noticed my extreme sadness to send it back and ended up finding it and giving it to me for my birthday!

Fancy Schmancy

As the festivities continue today, I wanted to quickly post my look for Aaron and I's anniversary date last night. I went for a fancy, but casual and comfortable look. I paired a simple black Lush dress with a fun feather necklace and simple wedges. I love this dress and really all of Lush's products, which you can find in the BP department at Nordstrom. The high neck and A-line skirt make it super comfy, but chic.

Aaron and I partook in some lunch and beer at The Sinking Ship! The ship is a fantastic bar just down the street from our house. It's a great place to gather, watch the game, and get a PBR! They have a really relaxed vibe and a great assortment of delicious bar food. We had the cajun green beans and a stuffed burger. Yum.

We had dinner at Marco's restaurant and lounge. It was so delicious and our server was amazing! It's a quaint little place for a nice dinner right down the street. We had such a great time and I can't wait for the bowling fun we have planned for today!
