It's time for my Friday link up with A Little Bit of Everything and Momfessionals.
On Fridays I share things that made me happy from the week - a photo, a song, a quote, a beauty product, a recipe, a pair of cute shoes, etc. If it's a product, sometimes it's something I actually own and sometimes something I just saw online that gave me a smile. Sometimes it's serious and sometimes it's silly. I suppose I believe that God is in the simple details of life and yes, I can even find Him in a tube of lipstick.
Hello, Friends. It's Friday and I missed last week because I was in Charleston, South Carolina and my computer refused to work. We had a ball in Charleston. The best way to describe it - to use a phrase my mom loved - was that it was just darlin'. I will say that the ladies in Charleston love a floral dress. I mean LOVE. I saw so many floral dresses, my head was spinning. We went on a boat cruise, shopped a ton, ate some amazing food and watched a lot of college football which was delightful as could be.
Here are some other favorite things from the week.
1. Got the Blues for Red OPI Nail Color
This color has been around forever, but it will always be my favorite fall nail polish.
2. Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant
Listen, I'm aware this is bougie. I've seen this Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant all over Instagram and it's ridiculous to spend this much money on deodorant. I am aware that my Secret Powder Fresh stick is totally fine. But darn it if Ulta didn't put it right up there at the front checkout and in a weak moment, I bought it. It smells amazing and I love the packaging. This is the deodorant of the angels and now I can't unknow it. Gah, it's so embarrassing. Don't do it, but if you do it's cheaper on Amazon by about $5.
3. The God of the Woods by Liz Moore
This was a really great mystery and was perfect to listen to while I drove home from Charleston.
4. Biscotti Earrings and Necklace by Park Lane
Park Lane just released these Biscotti earrings which are only $34. The crystal and mother of pearl detail on the floral shaped studs is just beautiful and they are the perfect size. There is also a Biscotti necklace that is gorgeous as well and only $42.
5. Charleston, South Carolina, USA
As I mentioned we had the best time in Charleston with three other couples while we were there to celebrate the upcoming wedding of one of Steve's oldest and best friends. One of the highlights was a boat cruise we took where we had the most gorgeous weather and saw a stunning sunset.
The girls and I had a great time shopping on King Street. One of my favorite boutiques was Spartina 449 where I got two dresses.
This Elena denim dress was my first pick because it's totally my jam and I think I'll wear it like crazy.
Florals and ruffles are pretty out of the box for me, but the sales lady talked me into this one, I guess because when in Charleston . . . it really is such a cute dress.
We headed out for a long walk on Saturday morning and popped into the cutest shop with creations by Rebecca Illustrated. I didn't have my wallet at the time, so I couldn't get this adorable floral Diet Coke print in the shop. This seems like a must-have for me, so I went to the website as soon as I could. So cute.
The chef of The Grocery in downtown Charleston, Kevin Johnson, is a friend of ours from way back when we first moved to South Riding. When he and his wife lived in our neighborhood, he cooked for us often. They even hosted New Year's Eve a few times and I have never in all my life had better food than what Kevin cooked for us. We were so excited to try his place in Charleston and it was as incredible as I knew it would be.
The very best part of the week was to be with my guy again since he'd been on business travel for almost two weeks.
Hope y'all have a great weekend and Happy 1st SEC Game Matchup to the Texas Longhorns. Take care of those Bulldogs boys, we're looking for 5 and 0.
Have a great weekend, Friends.

It sounds like you had a great time in Charleston!
That nail colour is so pretty and I love the sound of that deodorant.
If it makes you feel better one friend mentioned that Donna Karen deodorant lasted her several month already and she still wasn't out of it!
