snapshots from the weekend

i hope you all had a wonderful three day weekend with friends and family. we surely did. in a whim, we decided to take a long drive trip to san antonio-hill country for the weekend and i'm glad we did. it was a great way to unwind and quietly celebrate our wedding anniversary. 

we stayed at this beautiful resort and spa and they are never out of engaging kids activities, poolside fun, spa luxury treatments, family entertainment and great hotel restaurant dining experience. 

for the labor day weekend, they even had foodtrucks come park in their sprawling lawn area and had live band entertainment to the delight of everyone. there is just something magical about dining on rustic tables and benches enjoying texas BBQ under the gorgeous sunset and then the sparkling stars!

 

we totally enjoyed the lazy river and pool slides and spent an early morning there to witness the fun
lazy river rubber duck race. at night, it was nice to hang out at the lobby lounge, had a quick bite and a cocktail and enjoy the live music provided by a really talented musician.  
the weekend was full of laughter, hugs and kisses and a short window shopping to scout holiday weekend sales. overall, it was what we just needed ~ a quiet laidback celebration of our wedding anniversary and the labor day weekend!

breaking the rules

rules are meant to be broken. so as we approach fall, i am having second thoughts about putting away my white jeans to usher in the fall season this year. while bending the rules a bit, my fashion rebel self gets a little creative and make white denim extend it's longevity by pairing it with neutrals such as camel, grey and black. it'll be the coolest transition look for fall and i think it's perfectly ok.
