I had a fabulous time on my girls’ getaway in Galveston this past weekend!!  I braved the paddle board for the first time in the bay canal, super scary but fun! I’m such a sun baby, so I loved all the time we spent walking on the beach, kayaking, and just laying out on the deck reading good books.  Although, my weekend did start out a bit crazy. I was driving down alone and got a flat tire just shy of Galveston.  Thankfully, two of my friends were about 20 minutes behind me, so I didn’t have to be alone for too long!!  I have to give a huge thanks to them and the most awesome good Samaritan/stranger for rescuing me and changing my tire on Friday!  Not the perfect start to the weekend, but one where you sit back and count your blessings for great friends and the kindness of strangers.  🙂

My bestie also snapped some fun blog photos for me this weekend which I will start posting later this week!!  We are currently in the middle of a major heat wave here in Houston.  The high today is 104!!!!!!  I love my sun and warm weather, but all these 100+ days have me dreaming of slightly cooler fall weather.  The kind that is perfect for light dresses and booties.  I have a major obsession with these Naughty Monkey booties!!  I bought them last year, and they are still available!! I love pairing them with dresses.  They remind me a little of like miniature cowboy boots.  Also, they are super comfy!  I wore them to the airport last winter and walked in them all day with no problems.  This dress is one of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases, but it sold out before the sale opened to the public.  I went ahead and linked it just in case some come back in stock.  I love casual and easy dresses like this one.  On weekends, I love having something like this to throw on to run errands or meet up with friends and family.  I can’t wait to wear this dress later in the fall with tall boots too.  It is definitely a dress that works with a variety of shoes like booties, tall boots, flats, and wedges.  The versatility makes this dress more wearable across several seasons, a favorite aspect for me.

I am off to the tire store, hoping that they can fix my tire instead of me buying a new one.  I hope you have a fantastic week, and an easy breezy Monday! Thanks for stopping by!
