It’s the first Friday of the new year and this weekend is starting out with a wedding!! We’re coordinating a fun winter wedding at the Four Season’s hotel & I’m pretty excited for this winter white wedding – literally since it’s going to be snowing! Here’s a few of my favorite finds from the week!
Ankle Booties ||
Ankle Booties ||
During Nordstrom’s sale last weekend I scooped up these ankle booties. I’m always a little weary of ankle booties because I’m afraid it’ll rub my ankle the wrong way, but these are crazy comfortable! I’ve worn them to work (12+ hour day) & to an event on Monday night – they are winners!! Bonus is that they are still 40% off! Hoping to get a photo of them this weekend!

Monday night, Tess from Sequins are the New Black & I attended Alice’s Table flower arranging class. I’ve wanted to attend one of their classes for a while to learn the tips & tricks to not only flower arranging, but actually keeping these blooms alive!! My favorite tips of the night: 1. create a hashtag # with tape on top of the vase – this lets you play around with how the flowers will be arranged in the vase. 2. if you’re using roses, take the “guard petals” off – these are the outer ones that are going to be a bit bruised from transport & then lightly blow to “fluff” the petals out! It was a super fun couple of hours & if you’re ever in need of a different girl’s night check them out – they’re expanding across the country!
Tuna Creations ||

So this one is a little weird to have as a favorite, but I went grocery shopping and wanted to add something with a little protein to my salad & saw these Starkist tuna creations. There are 10 different flavors to try and so far I’ve had the hot buffalo style & the lemon dill style – really tasty! If you like tuna then you should absolutely try this! I didn’t even think to put it into a wrap with lettuce – next time for sure! #notsponsored π

|| Love this post on how successful women tackle Monday’s
|| This outfit from Suburban Faux Pas has me realizing I need a pair of really great faux leather leggings
|| This week the first “smart” hairbrush was released – that’s a thing now
|| If you’re watching the bachelor here’s why it matters more than ever – said in my Chris Harrison voice!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! See you Monday for weekending!
A flower arranging class sounds like a fun idea!!! The wedding will be gorgeous especially with a snowfall as I imagine that is what the bride us going for with a winter wedding. Gimmie all the Tuna, eating a lot of it lately, lol. Have a ball this weekend gorgeous!
Those ankle booties are super cute!!! Love your flower tip. My mom has a ton of antique frogs (basically metal versions on what you did with the tape), but I never thought to use tape. So clever! Tuna sounds like an easy way to add protein with zero prep! Hope the wedding is a success this weekend!
Those ankle booties are so cute! I just bought a new pair that are gray and navy blue…I really love all the cute ones out now. And how cool it will be snowing!! Have a great weekend!
I'm loving those chic ankle booties! That flower class sounds like so much fun- I have no talent for that so I need all the help I can get! Ha. Have fun at the wedding this weekend!! Stay warm!
Love those little boots! Have a great weekend! Xx

OMG a snowy wedding!! That will be so pretty!!!
How perfect that the winter wedding will have snow! I'm sure the pictures will be beautiful. Super interesting read about The Bachelor. I am guilty of watching each season and it really is true — the show deserves some respect coming back for 21 seasons. Although, it does still feel like a guilty pleasure π Good luck with the wedding and have a fabulous weekend!

How dreamy to have a winter wedding when it's snowing outside! Can't wait to see pictures that you share!
I love ankle boots! Glad you found a pair you liked. And I am may need to try that tuna. I don't like it a ton, unless it has a flavor.

Those booties are adorable!! I have some pumps from Louise et Cie and they are so well made (real leather!!). Stay warm this weekend and hope the wedding goes perfectly!! The bride and groom could NOT have picked a better theme for their wedding this weekend! π XOXO, R
I've always thought a snowy wedding would be so fun! (though in NC – everything shuts down for just the call for snow haha). Hope it goes great!

I saw that tuna this week when I was at the grocery and I was intrigued about how well those flavors would go together! Glad to know you liked it. Smart hairbrush, I can't!
A smart hairbrush… say what?! Craziness! Awesome score at the Nordstrom sale, they just continue to win all the prizes! And can't wait to see how gorgeous that winter wedding is this weekend. Happy Friday gurlie <3

A smart hairbrush? Oh my… gotta check that out.
I'm on the hunt for some cute ankle boots. Something I dont have in my closet. Actually I do have some from 10 years ago & thought, the style came back, but they have square toes & I'm not digging that with jeans.
love the post!

Flower arranging sounds so fun! I hope we get classes like that down here, I want to know more about that topic. I will have to try out that buffalo tuna, I love buffalo and never thing about getting tuna with that flavor! Enjoy the wedding! Have a great weekend.
Those ankle booties are perfection! I hope the wedding goes well (which I know it will because y'all are fantastic!). A white wedding sounds so beautiful! (It's actually snowing in Dallas right now, which is odd for January! Haha).
That flower arrangement class sounds like so much fun! I totally wouldn't have thought to take off the old outside flower petals, but it makes total sense!
Okay so those booties are gorgeous!! I need those in my life! Good luck with the winter wedding this weekend, I'm sure it will be beautiful π

A wintry white wedding sounds perfect. I hope it is magical for the happy couple! Your flowers are beautiful and I might need to try some tuna and check out that smart hairbrush! Have an awesome weekend!
One of the things on my bucket list is to take a flower arranging class, so much fun! Yours were gorgeous!
I bet the wedding you coordinate is going to have some really pretty pictures with the bride in white surrounded by white snow! You must share a picture! Happy weekend!
I've been reading about Alice's Table and have been soooo intrigued! I actually signed up to possibly do some sponsored content with them because I'm THAT interested. It sounds like such a fun night with girlfriends to do some unique and learn a new skill. Love those booties too… I have a window open to check them out!
Chris eats one of those tuna packets nearly every day for lunch. His favorites are buffalo, ranch, lemon pepper and hickory smoked. A winter wedding sounds fabulous! Speaking of fabulous, those flower arrangements!!!
The flower arrangement event looks so much fun. xx
