Happy Wednesday… it’s been a while, huh? I’ve been practically living out of my suitcase lately, with family vacations and road trips and reunions occurring out the wazoo. I’m finally home, though, and hoping to stay put for a while {and enjoy my summer!}. I’ve been going through a pretty rough patch recently, and have had to make a lot of tough life decisions. It helps to take time to appreciate the little things that make life great. This week, I’m loving…
1. The hydrangeas growing in our garden
They make the perfect decoration for the kitchen table!
I have been wanting this lipstick forever, and finally got it a few months ago. I knew I wanted a pretty coral/peach color, and this is it! It goes on smoothy, is highly pigmented, and has a delicious mango scent.
If you don’t mind splurging a little for lipstick, this is the one to buy!
3. Vanilla ice cream cones from the drive-thru
McD’s {vanilla ice cream cones} are the perfect cool & creamy summer dessert, and I’ve been treating myself to them regularly. At 170 calories, I don’t feel guilty at all!
4. Chain link bracelets
Lately I’ve been falling in love with chain bracelets. These by {loren hope} are classic…
They are incredibly comfortable, and a shocking shade of pink that complements a tan. I styled them with a white linen blouse for a trip to the Biltmore last week. I love how you can dress them up or down!
Finally, my family and friends should also make the list of “Wednesday Loves” this week. Thank you all so much for your love and support! I don’t know where I’d be without your advice and encouragement.
Hydrangeas are gorgeous!! So full and um, bloomy? Is that a word? Nope. But that's what we're going with. Love those chain bracelets, especially the blue!
I love that nautical chain bracelet! It would be so cute for summer. Also, I am so jealous of the colour of your hydrangeas – all we have here is cream and green! PS: don't stress too much over life. Everything will always work itself out in the end!
I already have the neon pink denim skirt from J.Crew, but now I really want a pair of shorts in the same color! Is that stupid? lol They look super cute on you! And I love all those chain link bracelets! 🙂
Those flowers are so gorgeous! And I love your lipstick..I love the idea of wearing lipstick, but I'm never bold enough to actually wear it. I just got the same color shorts, but from the factory story, and I love them. They are so bright and perfect for summer. Happy Wednesday, Caitlin!!
i love the biltmore so much; such a gorgeous building, and i'm so envious of your hydrangeas. I just moved to a new apt so I'll have to see what patio plants I can get blooming.
good luck with tough life decisions; things will work out the way theyre supposed to <3 <3
You look so pretty and happy in that last photo! Great things to be loving! I wish I wore jewelry more often! But I think it's all going to be off limits until the puppy grows up more
Love J. Crew chinos. I have a pair that color but a different style that I'm obsessed with. Loving link bracelets recently as well. Hydrangeas are so pretty – we're using the ivory ones at our wedding. Good luck with all your tough decisions – hope you can relax a little and enjoy your summer.
Love those pink shorts. I have been trying to find the perfect pair and need to head to JCrew to try those on! I love link bracelets too, so cute! Hope you are doing better!
That lipstick packaging is pretty enough to buy. For some strange reason, lipstick scares me, so I stick to gloss. I need to get brave and find one that works. Hydreangas are my favorite…they remind me of paris!
I bought those pink shorts too! LOVE them! and loving that YSL lipstick..I might just have to pick it up! Hydrangeas ar amy favorite flower, those are absolutely beautiful!

I have been all about froyo and vanilla soft serve the past couple weeks…nothing quite says summer like a frozen treat!
So jealous that you can grow hydrangeas; our soil isn't acidic enough here! And the shorts are super cute!
Your hydrangeas are so pretty!
I love the cones from Mikey D's. They are .39 where I live.
Love your pink shorts.
Love your shorts, and your look for Biltmore. I also love the flowers. My favorite.
Were you able to get up with Katja at all?
