Happy Monday!! This Monday is extra special because it just so happens to be my older sister’s birthday!!
She is without a doubt my best friend! There are two people in this world I would have trusted to do my make-up on my wedding day and the other one happens to be sitting getting her make-up done!! There are no words to describe what an amazing mother, daughter and wife she is – but most of all she is the best sister and I will forever be in awe of all she does and how she manages to look so fabulous while doing so!!
When I was little I would watch her get ready to go out with friends, I wanted to be just like her and I guess I picked up all her mannerisms because people always say we are identical! Not much has changed and I still watch her get ready when we babysit the kiddies!! Wishing my sister a very Happy Birthday- I’m certain I would not be where I am today without her!
Onto the weekend!! I mentioned Friday my parents were in town visiting for a few days and they came up to celebrate a couple of birthday’s! If you’ve read my blog for a while then you know how spot on my mom is at picking stuff out for me and this time she really hit it out of the park!!
I joked with her that she was better than the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 🙂 Not pictured are the two sweaters, maxi dress and makeup she also found! You’ll also notice thecrest white strips – my mom definitely reads the blog!!
We spent Saturday at the beach and the weather totally cooperated!
My two nieces and nephew absolutely adore Gary and I’m chopped liver when he’s around. Which I’ll be honest is pretty awesome, especially when babysitting and they listen to him because they want “stories!”
My sister recently re-decorated their formal living room and it’s quickly become my favorite room in their house!! Riesling on the right is also a favorite of mine – so yummy!
Sunday afternoon I re-organized my closet. I don’t organize nearly enough – but I bought Slim Hangers
An hour later and everything was back in it’s place – slightly more organized! You’ll also notice I still need a few more of those skinny hangers – they really are the best and give me so much more space in my basically nonexistent closet!
Sunday night was spent planning!! The upcoming month calls for a new planner and a huge thank you to Ananyafor hosting a fabulous giveaway so that I could finally get my hands on a Kate Spade planner!!
And now it’s your turn to win a little something!! I’m part of a seriously amazing giveaway for some Tieks!! I wish I could enter this one myself because these have been on my wish list for a while!! Which color would you choose?!

Looks like a fun weekend, happy birthday to your fabulous sister!
Love the Kate Spade planner and woohoo a giveaway!
Eeek! What a great giveaway! I've wanted a pair of Tieks forever! I don't even know what color I'd choose LOL! Happy birthday to your sister! I hope she has a great day! Glad the weather held up for you at the beach. And I totally agree with you on the hanger thing! I've never heard of slim hangers but I definitely need to hunt these down now. Happy Monday!

Yeah!!! I'm so excited your sister made an appearance today! You are right the two of you look like gorgeous twins! Isn't organizing your closet the most cleansing thing? I do it the same way, take everything out and then put it all back in. I find so many gems that I forgot about. Looks like a fabulous weekend and I agree can't we enter ourselves?? xoxoxo
2 gorg sisters!!! Have a wonderful week. thanks for hosting!
Happy Birthday to your sissy! looks like you had a wonderful weekend! I worked on my closet this weekend too — and I need more hangers for sure! And yay for a fun giveaway! xo
I love Riesling!!! It tastes soo good with this raspberry cheese I like to eat. Your weekend looked awesome! I wish we went to the beach! But we are saving that for our honeymoon this coming up weekend!
Happy Birthday to your sister. Her living room is fabulous. How does she keep it so clean with little ones in the house?! I was hoping to go to the beach but then it rained. 🙁 Sounds like a great weekend!
What a great weekend! Your mom sure does know how to shop for you. And, that planner? I'm dying. I actually am planning to get the same one for myself this week, but I can't decide between the black and white stripes or gold polka dots. Decisions, decisions. 🙂 Happy Monday, girl!
Love your weekend recap! Your mom is the best shopper, ever. Happy Birthday to your gorgeous sister! And thanks for helping with the giveaway! I'm dying for a pair of Tieks! xo
Riesling is my go-to too, but this weekend I picked out a dud of a bottle. So sad! Love the goodies from your mom!
I love a good closet organizing day! I try to go through mine a few times a year, make sure that I am wearing what I have, and I am the same way about my hangers!
What a great giveaway!
I love your sisters living room. Especially the coffee table. And I hope she had a great birthday, I think its so great that you guys babysit for her, Im sure its more appreciated than you think!
Happy birthday to your sister!! Dang good looks must run in the family!! Yay for the beach! Ugh I need to reorganize my closet so bad it's not even funny!!! Happy Monday!

you and your sister look so alike yet so different! that makes no sense, i know, but its true. happy birthday to her! i really really need to reorganise my closet, and i have very little space – might have to get some of those hangers! happy monday gorgeous!
Happy Birthday to your sister! And your mom sounds like an awesome personal shopper. We did some major cleaning/organizing this weekend too – doesn't it feel good? Love me some Riesling and that Kate Spade calendar is gorgeous too! Fun giveaway 🙂
Your mom is so cute. She really reminds me of mine. My mom is stopping by with goodies from Marshalls from the 20% off sale today lol. My sister and I are also close and I have dark hair and she is blonde. Too funny. I am the older one though. 🙂 I need to organize my closet desperately and part with some things. Riesling is my favorite wine. Happy Monday Extremely jealous of your planner! Oh and I love the matte black and the snake print tieks! XO
Awesome giveaway! Glad you got some time in at the beach & yes- your mom does pick out some good stuff.. looks like your wardrobe will be ready for fall! And LOVE that agenda! xo
That's my kind of Saturday – tabloids + beach?? YES PLEASE!! Looks like you had a great weekend 🙂
Oh! I love that your beach is kind of like a lagoon (or at least the area ya'll went). Such sweet words about your sister! Happy birthday to her!
Oh I totally have a thing about hangers matching! haha My husband does not understand. The beach looks so refreshing there, ours was just way too hot and overcrowded this weekend! Love that planner!
happy birthday to your sister!!!

I LOVE that mirrored cocktail table… any idea where she got it? I would kill for that in my house!! Looks like a super fun weekend! And yes, all my hangers have to match and the skinny ones are the bomb.
What a fabulous weekend! I literally adore you! haha Great giveaway too girl! Hope you have a fab week as well! xoxo
Sounds like a fab weekend! My closet is organized by color haha. Those hangers sound pretty nice though. That picture with Gary and the kids is so cute too. My nieces love Chris too. Your mom is an excellent personal shopper too!! Not a fan of riesling, but I did try a really good Spanish red this weekend. I'll be entering that giveaway too since I've heard that Tieks are way better than the Revas. Oh Tory!! Haha.
Fab giveaway!! And happy birthday to your sister!!
That sister connection is just too special! I feel the same way about mine! The beach day sounds amazing right about now – our weather is so cool today! Happy Monday!

when i organized my closet and asked blogland for advice, the first thing everyone said to me was "get hangars that are the same". it really does make the whole closet look pulled-together.

happy birthday to your sister!
The living room and Reisling look amazing! Yes, I totally have to have all my hangers alike.
You and your sister are so gorgeous! I want to sip vino in her sitting room but am terrified I'd spill on that lovely rug ha. I totally gave away all hangers that were not black or white (haven't made the financial commitment to wood) and now we don't have nearly enough, but I was so sick of the random colored ones. Slim hangers next 😉
Your sister sounds almost as awesome as you 😉 so happy birthday to her! Glad you got such nice beach weather Saturday. I'm so going to have to look into those hangers, thanks for the tip! 🙂
Yay for winning that planner… it's adorable and SO YOU!
Your shout out to your sister was adorable… made me want to get misty eyed even! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS! 🙂
Happy Birthday to your sister!!
Happy birthday to your gorgeous sister! Sounds like you had a very productive weekend!
