As you might expect on this episode, Sophie and I have a lot to say about this past weekend’s college baseball regionals (if you’re not aware, there were some incredible underdog stories in the field of 64). We also talk about State’s baseball coach news (very exciting!) before we consider all the things we don’t know or understand about this current generation of toddlers.

On top of that, I share Perry’s new YouTube discovery, and it’s Sophie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!

Well, here we are at the end of May.

I would say more about that but the bottom line is we will all wake up tomorrow and it basically be the 4th of July.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. linen blend pants

I love a pair of linen pants in the summer. They can be dressed up or down. You can wear them over a swimsuit as a cover up and they are so comfortable if you’re travelings.

These are $29.99 and come in lots of different color options.

2. linen shirt

Do I need another linen shirt? No. But I love the wider blue and white stripe on this one.

It’s $32.99.

3. crz yoga skort

This is such a cute athletic skort to wear around. It comes in tons of colors, has a great high waist and is just $28.

4. just a dream barrel pants

I think these are the cutest pants. They are $64.

5. sleeveless mockneck jumpsuit

This Spanx jumpsuit is pricey, but so cute for summer travel and transitions easily into colder months with a sweater or jacket.

It’s $148 and comes in other colors.

6. perry dress

Such a pretty dress if you have a summer event. I would wear this with gold sandals and accessories.

It’s $98.

7. pilcro boxy lace button down shirt

I love a pretty top for summer and this one is great. It also comes in a really pretty pink floral.

It’s $118.

8. striped t-shirt dress

This is the kind of stuff I love in the summer because it’s super comfortable, requires no ironing and is such a fun pop of color.

It’s $39.99 and comes in other colors.

9. short sleeve polo dress

I love a polo dress for all the reasons mentioned above.

This is $39.99 and comes in a ton of color options.

10. embroidered luna set

This set is pricey, but it is so beautiful if you need a really great summer outfit. I also love that you can wear each piece separately for a totally different look.

Here are the matching pants.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

Well, ’tis the season for NCAA baseball regionals, so this week Sophie and I discuss the fact that her Bulldogs are headed to Tallahassee, and we also briefly analyze the SEC uniforms this season (you may be surprised by the team Sophie has designated as the uniform winner). Plus, we talk about my adventures with getting Caroline’s suitcase(s) packed for Europe and the complications that arise when husbands decide they want to be healthy eaters.

As (almost) always, we break down what we’ve watched this past week, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope y’all enjoy!

I realize it shouldn’t surprise me that it’s Memorial Day weekend but I feel like it was January then I blinked and it’s Memorial Day. I’m not sure what happened in between but I know it was so much that I’m still processing all of it.

Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week.

1. daily practice killington pants

I ordered these immediately because this is the kind of thing I will wear all the time and I love this color.

They are on sale for $59.95 plus an extra 40% off.

2. lace balloon sleeve top

Such a cute top with a pretty sleeve.

This is on sale for $79.95 plus an extra 40% off.

3. ruffled pin tuck blouse

I have this top in another color and love it, but this brown is so pretty and great for now and into fall.

It’s on sale for $69.95 plus an extra 40% off. I would say size down if in between.

4. trench coat with detachable hood

Caroline left for Europe this week and after we looked at the forecast, we made a last minute decision that she needed a trench coat. This one is really cute and amazing quality for just $48.93.

It also comes in a ton of color options. If in between sizes, I would suggest sizing up one.

5. embroidered tie waist dress

This is such a cute summer dress.

It’s $119.

6. americana stripe dress

This is pricey but it is too darling to not show you.

It’s $268.

7. trudy top

This top is perfect for summer and the 4th of July. It would be so cute with jeans or jean shorts.

It’s $88.

8. boho maxi skirt

Love this darling, bright maxi skirt. Just add a t-shirt or a tank.

It’s under $30 and comes in a lot of color and pattern options.

9. jacquard weekender tote

I don’t know that I need a weekender tote, but I wish I did because this is just so pretty. I love the bright colors.

It’s $98.

10. frank and eileen tori tuxedo shirtdress

I cannot tell you how much I love everything Frank and Eileen makes. The quality is unmatched and it just classic and timeless. This gorgeous tuxedo shirt dress is currently 70% off and on sale for $113.40. It also comes in pretty green. Honestly, I’m thinking this would be so pretty during Christmas with tall boots. The reviews all say it runs large so keep that in mind.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

This week I’ve been helping Caroline get ready for her Europe trip, Sophie is gearing up for the SEC Baseball Tournament, and we’re both feeling mildly fascinated by the Busch Apple phenomenon. We talk about all of the above, of course, as well as what we’ve watched this past week.

We also discuss some Mississippi-adjacent things that have made Sophie super happy, and it’s her turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

We hit 106 degrees in San Antonio this week.

It is May.

I need the weather to settle down.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. breeze romper

Love this darling romper for running around. It’s just $48.

2. adi mid rise relaxed pull on jeans

I’ve been looking for a pair of jeans with a drawstring waist and I always love this brand. These are $158.

4. clara cotton shirt dress

I wore this dress in a different print to Caroline’s graduation and I really love it. It’s a crisp cotton that doesn’t wrinkle and you can wear it with or without the belt.

This striped version is on sale for $138.60. I would say size up one.

5. mid-rise 90s baggy denim shorts

These are the best denim shorts for the price. I bought them in white and they are so comfortable and soft.

6. star embroidered button down

Such a cute top for 4th of July or Memorial Day.

It’s $79.

7. eyelet button down mini dress

Love this dress.

10. braided strappy sandal

These are the cutest sandals. They are on sale for $39.50 plus an extra 15% off with code SUMMER. They also come in gold.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.
