the David and Nilla cuddle pic – The Fellowship applications are IN! CHEERS!

 Oh what a week. Summer is in full swing, i.e. it’s SO HOT but we are definitely making the most of it with night time swims, early morning walks, and grilling out with the grill Gigi gave to us when she moved to New York. I got to facetime with Gigi yesterday – isn’t technology grand? I miss her so much! I can’t wait to see her in ONE MONTH when my mom, sis and I travel to NYC for a girls trip 🙂 I wish it could be fall in August so I could wear some of these Nordstrom Anniversary picks in New York. All my picks from the sale are in the top right drop down menu under “Nordstrom Sale” – I REALLY love this fur vest and this longer vest. mmmm mmmm good! I’m going to try and shop in the store today and will definitely share anything great that I find on snap (LC_Steele).

David turned in his application for fellowships last night and we celebrated with Ginger beer in champagne glasses since I didn’t have any champagne. Breaking my own rule! Always have a cold bottle in the fridge! He will find out if he got any interviews soon, interview in the fall, then find out if he matches, and where, in December. I think. It all gets so confusing and is such a long process so I just #liveMyLife

Anyway, how pretty is that very feminine and sparkly clutch? It really does make me think of the little mermaid! haha I can’t wait to pair it with jeans and a white button down for a date night. And oh my gosh the college kids brought us cookies! I need to step up my betty crocker game STAT and take something to them. I also need to include them more on snap (LC_Steele) because living across from 5 college guys is pretty funny and entertaining.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for reading!
