Good morning, friends! I am super excited to post about my weekend, but should warn you that this will be a picture heavy post.
Friday, I came home after work and got situated out on the patio with Winston.
I also decided to try out this new lipstick I got. It is the perfect shade of red! Bonus points that the shade is named Pirate.
This pictures makes my heart explode. These two are my best.
Saturday, I woke up to get ready for Pure Barre. I walked into the bonus room to drink my coffee and watch the Golden Girls before going, and y’all… this is what I found. He kills me. What a ham.
Pure Barre on Saturday was INTENSE. It was an awesome class.
I added two more Bourbon & Boweties to my stack. The most adorable store in Cary got in a huge shipment and I just couldn’t help myself. I love the coin and the purple and black.
I worked from 3:00 until close on Saturday night. DG came and met me when I got off work and we went to Peak City Grill for the first time. We’ve been before for drinks and jazz music, but never for dinner. DG got a flight of beer to sample and was pleased with all of his choices.
I initially ordered chicken and waffles, but they were sold out. So, I got the burger because it came with bacon AND pimiento cheese. It was amazing.
DG got sausage and pepper gnocchi. It was his first time eating gnocchi and he really liked the dish.
He was most excited for dessert though. He got apple caramel cobbler and it was seriously amazing.
Sunday, we went to the State Fair. DG and I really look forward to doing this together each year. Here were my essentials for the day.
We plan out what food we’re going to eat before going. I always look forward to cheese fries, pizza, and crab cake sandwiches.
But this year, I skipped the cheese fries because one of my favorite restaurants was at the fair AS A FOOD TRUCK. OMG.
La Farm is one of my favorite restaurants in Cary, and I saw they had a pimiento cheese BLT on their menu. Say no more.
It was everything I hoped it would be and more. And so was the peach iced tea.
And, exciting news, but I have been asked about my Christmas tree skirt already. I posted a DIY about it last year, but some readers asked me if I’d make them one instead. If you’re interested, I’m actually going to start making them next weekend, so send me an e-mail for a PayPal invoice.
How was your weekend? Any of you North Carolinians attend the fair? Link up with Biana and me and tell us about your weekend!


















Fun weekend!! Cute tree skirt — what is it made of and how much?
Our favorite date night is the state fair! We do the same thing about planning out our food before we go (literally the best steak sandwich I've ever had is from there–can't remember the vendor right now though). It's not looking good for us to get to go this year though, which will be a first in our 11 years of dating!!!!
All of the food pictures are making me hungry! The BLT, apple caramel cobbler, even the peach tea… yummmm. So glad you had a fun weekend!
Love your new lipstick! So pretty! And totally jealous you got to go to the fair. We don't have very good fairs down here :( And can you stop posting pics of the most amazing food ever? I want it all!
