Proper Hunt

We've been back from our weekend trip to The Tides Inn for a few weeks now and I have been wishing we were still there. Its been a bit of a tradition for us to go there every summer with Steve's dad and brother's family for the past 3 years, and its a tradition that I look forward to every year. The Tides Inn is a wonderful place, whether you go with family, or if it's a romantic getaway, it's just the perfect setting for relaxation, pool time, and great food.

Each year it seems to get better because there's less man-handling Vivi, haha. I say that half jokingly, but seriously, it's just gotten easier because she keeps getting more and more independent. And with her getting older, she and Cora play together making it less work for us parents and more fun to watch them. Plus, we get to enjoy the surroundings which makes it feel a bit more like a real vacation.

But let me get back to the The Tides Inn. It's really a beautiful place in a setting that instantly slows you down and has you living in the moment. And that's really what you want, to enjoy everything that The Tides Inn has to offer and be present for it.

Okay, so here are a few snaps of our quick road trip to The Tides Inn and all the fun we had with the girls there. I've also included outfit details just in case you were wondering ;)

Stopped by Horne's to stretch our legs and to have lunch. Both my cheesesteak sub and Steve's BLT were AMAZING.

She's got the whole pool glam look down, I'd say.

We had our first dinner at Lee's, and I had the best fried chicken ever. We had gone last year and I told myself that I had to get fried chicken again.

There was a crazy storm that rolled in so instead of going out and getting ice cream for dessert, we just ordered it at the hotel for the kids. Their brownie & ice cream game is strong at The Tides Inn.

Room service breakfast with these cuties while Steve went golfing with his brother and dad.

After breakfast, I took the girls to walk around the grounds of The Tides Inn.

All I told Cora to do was stand there and she took the photo to the next level with that pose/look.

My cuties.

Time for the pool! I saved this Janie and Jack suit from when Cora used to wear. So glad I did because it's still one of my favorites of theirs.

Again, nailed the pool glam look.

On our way to dinner on the second night. We went to a Mexican restaurant like we did last year but I completely forgot to take any pictures when we got there because Vivi fell asleep in the car and I was holding her at dinner.

We ate here last year and made sure to come back this year. It's got great breakfast food & coffee, and a cute outdoor patio.

We had a big reunion lunch with Steve's dad side of the family at the restaurant in the hotel, but this little one was full of jumping beans so I took her out for a walk and had some fun with the chess set.

Until next year The Tides Inn!

Our Weekend at the Tides Inn

We've been back from our weekend trip to The Tides Inn for a few weeks now and I have been wishing we were still there. Its been a bit...

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16

It's finally here! The sale of all sales! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! It's open to cardmembers right now from now until July 19, then it will be open to the rest of the public until August 6th when prices go back up.

We got the card a few years ago and it really is so worth it to get it. The deals during this sale are unbelievable and perfect timing, right before the weather gets cooler so you can stock up on some great boots, sweaters, coats, and more!

Here are the details on the card:

- If approved, you can sign in to access your card online and start shopping right away.
- Earn 2 points per dollar spent in stores and online at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook and Trunk Club.
- Get a $40 bonus Note when you make any purchase with us on your new card the day you’re approved.
- Enjoy the benefits of being a Nordstrom cardmember.
- No annual fee and competitive APRs. See APR and fee information.
- 24/7 Nordstrom customer service.

I went to the Nordstrom's in Columbia with my mom today and we made out like bandits! We both got #2 because it's just the most flattering jacket ever. The olive color goes with so many things and at $126, you just can't beat that price for a suede moto jacket.

I also stocked up on some jeans, both #6 and #13 are SO comfy and flattering. They both have some stretch in them and stay put (I did the squat test and they both passed!), and at under $60, it was a no-brainer to get them.

I have been casually looking for a trench coat and when I spotted #10, it was love at first sight. It fits like a dream, is made really well (some good quality stuff here), and at $86, it was a definite add-to-cart type of situation.

As with every year, I know Nordstrom's will keep adding new items to the sale so I'll be sure to keep scouting for things and sharing them here. And if that's the case, I'll go back to Nordstrom's and do another try-on session with the new items. In the meantime, head on over to Instagram and watch my stories for what I tried on today.

Happy shopping!

I'm so excited to be sharing today's look! As someone who has lived in Annapolis for almost ten years (!), I'm a big advocate of the local businesses here. Which is why I am so happy to have discovered Tyler Böe Clothing! Their clothing is chic and easy for the everyday woman. Nothing too trendy, pieces that you could keep wearing season after season. I'm so thankful to them for sending me this top along with a few other pieces!

This black eyelet topper is such a great staple for spring & summer, and one of my favorites from their collection! It can be dressed up for date night or dressed down if you're just running around getting errands done. I decided to dress it up for date night with the hubby. I love how flexible the off-shoulder part is since you can control how low you want it off your shoulders. There's nothing more sexy than showing off some shoulder, right? So perfect for date night ;)

If you're ever in Annapolis, make sure to check their store out on Main Street!

Happy Wednesday! I can't believe I've been withholding this floral jumpsuit from you guys for so long! Shame on me. But it kind of worked out because it's now 30% off! Use code resort30 to get 30% off your entire purchase including this jumpsuit. I've already got a few things in my cart including these mules and this jumpsuit.

Anyways, getting back to this floral jumpsuit that is just the most easy thing to wear for any occasion or event for the summer. It's so comfy and the print is such a happy one. You'll pretty much be in the best mood when you wear it. I will say that it does run small so keep that in mind when ordering it. I am wearing a large and honestly cannot imagine wearing a medium. The large does gape at my armholes a bit but you can wear a pretty bralette underneath or a camisole if you're really worried.

I know it can be a tad worrisome shopping online and not knowing how the fit will be or what the quality will be like. And I have to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised when I got my package that included this jumpsuit. I was sure the quality and sizing would be so off on it, but like I said, I was pleasantly surprised and will be continuing to shop at Goodnight Macaroon.

Ruffle Floral Jumpsuit

Happy Monday! It has been SO long since I posted and I am so sorry for that! Our schedule has been a bit out of whack ever since Cora finished school. We've been trying to get into a new routine with her being home, and the lack of blog posts is a result of that. But I'm here today with a really cute and easy summer look!

This dress is so comfy, comes in black, and is under $33! Doesn't get any better than that. Oh wait, yes it can. It's from Target which makes it so easy to get right away. And I've found that sometimes a pair of glossy nude flip flops are all you need to keep a look casual yet polished. I normally wouldn't gravitate towards flip flops for a look, but seeing as how I've got some statement making accessories (bag, sunnies, & hat), I wanted to keep my shoe situation as simple as possible.

Okay, time to convince Cora to get a library card and borrow some books. She's been telling me that she'd much rather go to Barnes & Noble since they have snacks there. Wish me luck in getting her to go to a library instead.
