Over the Weekend

I hope y'all have had a great weekend.  My BF Miss Joy is visiting from Tybee Island, Georgia and we have doing fun, girly things since her arrival on Friday night.

Yesterday, I wore one of all-time favorite Lilly shifts in the 'Charmed I'm Sure' pattern, with a black cardi and a black pony bow.  I carried my black Chanel '2.55' with silver hardware and wore my black Cochni ballet flats, along with my pearl necklace and earrings.

When my friend pulled her car up in the front of the house, I was helping her unload her bags.  I noticed she brought a BAG FULL of flip flops.  I asked her "Joy, it's after Labor Day--why all the flip flops?"  She just laughed and said she was watching the Today Show the other day and they said it was acceptable now to wear flip flops after Labor Day.  I yelled at her and jokingly replied "Have you lost your ever-lovin' mind?  Those people are Yankees, of course that's what they are gonna say."  I then told her she was forbidden to wear open toe shoes after Labor Day at my house.  Well, this is the outfit she wore the next day...

Turquoise and lime are truly her favorite colors.  The dress is from Macy's the cardi is from JCrew.  The turquoise and lime flip flops...from her collection of over 100 pairs.  After all, she does live ON the beach!

Of course, all her jewelry was turquoise and lime...

Our first stop out was to a birthday party for 2 special girls...Leslie and Melanie, daughters of our friends Lane and Lester.  These girls are smooth operators.  They begged and received very pricey tickets to attend the Justin Bieber concert in January and promised that was all they both wanted for their birthdays.  Then it was, "We want a party also!"  Well Mama Lane put together a last-minute, tropical theme cookout for their friends to celebrate their birthdays!  Good food.  Good friends.

I took the opportunity to get some love and kisses from their Yorkie Miss Cici!

Then we were off to the Club for Charity Bunco...we lost!  Boo hiss!

Our Supper Club got together last night at The Tiki Bar in Fort Pierce.  It was a breezy South Florida evening and a great night for enjoying "Merlot Hour" and some seafood while overlooking the water.

Today we took off shopping and made a pit stop at Chipotle.  I haven't had their delicious chicken bowl meal in over 4 months.  Oh my goodness, I do love Chipotle!!!

Then it was time to do what we do best...Shop Shop!  We found some great deals at the Vero Beach Outlet Mall...J Crew, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger.  Fun times!

Thank you visiting with me today.  I'm excited about the coming week and happy to spend time with my friend Joy!

Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins for Bunco

Last night I joined some of the ladies of Bedford Park {my neighborhood} and played some Bunco! Lord have mercy, it was fun...a bit loud, but fun.

We were told to bring goodies and after a long day of errands and shopping in the rain, I wasn't in the mood to fix something time-consuming, so I settled on quick and easy!

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that one of my new obsessions is Pinterest. It is a great place to store and show off photos that inspire you...from home decorating, recipes, fashion, and books to just about anything. I must tell y'all that I'm addicted! So much fun:)

Anyway, this recipe for Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins is all the rage with all the Pinterest peeps. There are seriously just TWO ingredients used to prepare these--Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake mix and a 15 oz. can of pumpkin puree. That's it. I filled my muffin cups almost full, as this mix does not rise much. I baked mine for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Used some cute little dot muffin cups.
Then I placed the muffins on an orange plate and put the plate & muffins inside a festive polka dot cello plate wrap. You can find these at Hobby Lobby. I think a pack of three was $2.99.
Tied it up with a black satin ribbon and attached a little orange tag. Presentation is important y'all!
You can find cute Bunco party printables at the Hoffman Media site here. Love the cute invitations...just right for this time of year!
I also downloaded these scorecards...
