Five on Friday

1.

We have officially entered the first "-ber" month of the year. September is already shaping up to be a very busy but very good month, color coded stickers all over the planner.

2.

College Football is BACK!!!

Western Kentucky kicked things off by beating the awfulness that is Vandy and Tennessee takes on Bowling Green State in Nashville tomorrow! My heart is happy. 

3.

Last night was Live on the Green featuring some awesome hometown Nashville bands.

We got there in time for The Delta Saints, fun fact went to high school with their guitarist, and miraculously stayed awake for Moon Taxi to come on at 9:30pm. The weather was amazing, nice little breeze kicked in, the beer was cold and I had my Tennessee blanket. It was a very good night!

4.

Brittany Fuson's September newsletter came out Wednesday and her September Spoitfy playlist is straight fire. I have been playing it non-stop.

IT'S LABOR DAY WEEKEND!

we made it

Lately

Linking up with my Pittsburgh/ZTA/Advertising blog soul sister Summer Wind today and giving you a little peek into my life lately:

Thank the good Lord above this week is almost over. This week has been a testament to runs being cheaper than therapy, long conversations with God in the shower, and Target $1 section file folders making work a little better.

Watching: One Direction's Drag Me Down video. They are pulling on my Ben Affleck Armageddon heart strings with that orange space suit walk up scene. This song is catchy as hell and I will admit I get the Harry Styles obsession now.

Eating: Ready Pac's Chef Salad from Publix. These little pre-made salads are amazing and only 270 calories. They were BOGO a couple weeks ago and now I'm hooked. 

Smelling: Clinque Happy Heart, my staple since college

Drinking: La Croix's Coconut sparkling water. The girls in the office swear by La Croix and I discovered the coconut at Target. These are the perfect afternoon treat!

Wearing: This summer jumpsuit from the Target clearance section has to be one of my greatest finds at a record breaking $13. It is the perfect thing to throw on when you're moving slow and have a long day ahead of you!

Reading: Everybody Rise by Stephanie Clifford
This book has been on everyone's Must Read list and now it's on my bed side table. Hoping to put a dent in it this weekend.

Listening: Noah Gundersen. He'll be in Nashville October 9th and I cannot wait. One of my all-time favorite songs is his First Defeat.

Loving: Getting to see my sweet friend Rachael before she heads back to Pittsburgh for school. Afternoon texts with Sara about baby Warren, dead squirrels, and everything in between. Labor Day and football season is only 9 days away!

Wanting: This Jcrew leather-pocket tee dress is to die for. Paired with some strappy nude heels, it would be the perfect early fall date night outfit. 

Pekarsk-ing Around: Live on the Green concert series begins tonight and I cannot wait for Moon Taxi next Thursday.
All day and all night my eyes are open, all day and all night I've been going

#LOTG, Nashville's hottest club

Last night we put our best "outdoor concert" outfits on and ventured to Live on the Green for the first week of the summer concert series that takes Nashville by storm every August. 

We waited 20 minutes in line for a beer, ate Edley's BBQ on the sidewalk, never got anywhere close to "the Green" and loved every minute of it. 

Here's the full festival line-up, 

I personally can not wait for Capitol Cities on 8/28 and Augustana on 9/5.

Now, to piece together two more "music festival" outfits...

Happy Friday y'all!
