Wednesday I posted about my love for JCrew's Linen-Cotton Mini [yes, the one with pockets] paired with a graphic t-shirt or tank. It has easily become my go-to outfit! Now that [I like to think] I've mastered this combo I've started to play with patterns. 

This has to be my absolute favorite combo so far!

I mean how can you go wrong with Lilly and JCrew?

And be sure to check out my tumblr, Monograms and Media, for all pattern pairing inspirations!

Friday 6/6: BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

A BBQ stain on her white t-shirt

These past couple weeks I've been trying my best to transition my closet over to summer without having to buy too many new pieces.

Every 20 something girls' greatest challenge.

Through this I have fallen in love with JCrew's elastic band skirts [they have pockets y'all] and a tshirt/summer sweater/tank.

My desk buddy Maggie does this better than anyone I know. 

She is the queen of a t-shirt over a maxi, tied over a flowy skirt, or with leggings.

So taking inspiration from her, here are some combinations I'm loving and hoping to slowly add to my closet [b u d g e t].

Oh, so this is that real life thing

Yesterday started out like any other Monday, and ended with margaritas and celebration.

In the world of media getting your first buy is huge.

I remember the night my Pigeon Forge buy went out like it was yesterday, it was for the smallest market in the campaign but it was a huge life moment in my book. 

Yesterday trumped that, by like a bajillion.

Yesterday I sent out my [first] buy [at Whitehardt] for my client [in the Nashville market, big time], had my review, and got my raise! An epic afternoon would be an understatement.

And what better way to celebrate than braving CMA traffic, driving to Hendersonville, and getting some good ole Mexican. I think the only people more excited than me are mom and dad!! 

So here's to a very good start to my last week of 23, my first buy of 2014, and media domination.

Weekend Recap: 5/31-6/1

This post is gonna be short and sweet, just like this weekend.

I started off the weekend by waking up in a panic that I hadn't set an alarm, getting dressed for work, getting downstairs and realizing it was Saturday...

I then proceeded to get back in pjs and sleep till 9am. #heaven

The rest of the day consisted of laundry [five loads], OnDemand, Publix, prepping cole slaw, and a quite lovely nap. On a last minute whim I drove out to Hendersonville for the season finale of DaVinci's Demons and a sleepover with Sophie.

Sunday I was up early for coffee in the garden room with mom and dad [and Sophie] followed by some gardening aka weeding. Then it was finally luau time with the media family!

We grilled, flip cupped, trivia'd, "gardened", and laughed a whole lot! 

After one of the best Sunday Fundays ever it was back to River Chase for a shower and quick nap before Game of Thrones and Penny Dreadful. And I must say, packing pjs to drive home in has to be one of my best ideas to date.

So cheers to a wonderful weekend and my last week being 23!
