Saturday, I ran, did some yoga and mowed the lawn and walked around feeling like a badass for the rest of the day. Then we got ready and headed to Highlands Fest which is basically a big block party, or that's how they describe it. We went with my best friend and her husband.

Lots of little vendors, food stalls, live music and lots.of.people. It was tons of fun and I meant to take more photos, but I didn't, so.... I shall share lots of pictures of myself instead.
Selfies on the way are mandatory. No idea why but I was really feeling like I looked like my mummy.

I trained KC so well to take photos but for some reason yesterday he was going above and beyond the 'holding the camera higher than eye level' and was holding it so high it was hilarious.

So we had to take matters into our own hands - more selfies.

Like a lot more. Someone said we could pass as twins - not true but what a lovely compliment!
And then my bestie's husband took a photo and took it to a whole new level, literally.

Then we stopped an unsuspecting passerby to take a photo of the 4 of us - the awesome foursome - and he said "say 'I'm drunk' "and we all laughed awkwardly because none of us were.

We got home fairly late for having started so early and crashed. The next morning I woke up to the smell of deliciousness - KC had popped out to the store to get me some English baked beans which I was deliriously happy about. He normally
KC bought me this cute ear warmer thingy from the Fest that will be perfect for NYC - I mean, I picked it out and paid for it - but it doesn't count for shopping because he bought it for me, ok? It was only $5. Sorry for the awkward photo.
The rest of Sunday was spent cleaning, reading, blogging, a lovely nap and lots of kitty cuddles. I love weekends that are a nice balance of fun & lazy. Don't you?
Gorgeous ladies!!! That festival looks like so much fun! And that hat is way too adorable to have only been 5 bucks.
ReplyDeletehahahahahaha seriously I am dying laughing about mowing the lawn and yoga....then feeling like a badass ;-) Also about training KC to take pictures "up and down" because that's exactly how Mark is trained. I occasionally like to yell "use those long arms the right way babe"......or something awkward like that. You looked absolutely gorgeous and totally not like a mommy at all. I adore that you got the deets on your bestie's outfit also. I am slightly jealous you are wearing jeans and not sweating to death.....where is Fall seriously? xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThe fest looks so fun! And you and your friend look so pretty!

I can see why some people would say you guys could pass for twins. Beautiful ladies. I love the ear warmer! It's really cute!
ReplyDeleteHAha nice way to get around no shopping!! And you and your best friend really do look like twins...or at the very least, sisters!
ReplyDeleteI thought about going to Highland fest but ended up at the playground lol. Glad you guys had a good time! I love the over the top photo shots by the guys.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love your theory of saying he bought you the headband/ear warmer, so it doesn't count towards your no-buy month ;) It looks really cute! And I loooove your hair, you make me want to cut mine short! What a fun festival- love all of your selfies!
ReplyDeleteLooked like a great festival and I'm loving your Old Navy distressed jeans. I've been trying to find the perfect pair! Nothing wrong with a little car selfie. You look adorable :)
ReplyDeleteAw so fun!! You and your bestie look so cute! Love your jeans! Yum that breakfast!!

ReplyDeleteGeez! You must have burned about a million calories on Saturday! Well done for staying active on the weekends. It must not be scorching hot where you are. It was still really hot here over the weekend but today is nice and cool...thank god, I couldn't wait much longer for Fall!!

yup those are the best weekends. Especially when you can laze around on Sunday and get house stuff done or just read a good book with your feet up.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun weekend! I love fall festivals. you look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a blasty! I love celebrating outdoors with friends. Can't be beat. :)
ReplyDeleteFun and lazy weekends are the best kind. I have that LC shirt your bestie is wearing--I love it!

ReplyDeleteLove all the selfies! I def don't take enough pictures anymore. Highlands fest sounds like a blast. Love the cute earwarmer! That will definitely come in handy in NY. :) Have a great day lady!
ReplyDeleteThe fest looks like so much fun, I wish we had one here.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit was fabulous and I LOVE your hair. Beautiful!
HA! Oh goodness the hubbies trying to take photos. So hilarious! Looks like you guys had a great time at that fest! And your selfies look so totally fabulous ;).
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute hat!! Looks like a really great time at that festival - yum! Breaky is just 10x better when your hubby/boyfriend makes it eh! :) hehe
ReplyDeleteThe camera getting progressively higher and higher is hilarious XD The photo of the four of you together is a nice one :D

ReplyDeleteYou look ridiculously gorgeous in these photos! Looks like you had a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was the perfect mix of fun + lazy too, my favorite for sure! You two girls looked so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLoved your hair, you two do look a bit alike. Such a good hubby. I would have bought that hat too!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have KC trained to take pics. I don't understand what is it about taking pics that guys just don't understand.
ReplyDeleteHaha so many good pics. Your friend totally looks like Kate Beckinsale with her sunglasses on!? That hat is adorable and I love the steal you - oops your husband - got it for ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, Highlands Fest looks like so much fun! That ear warmer is adorable, too! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect weekend for me:)
ReplyDeleteAw, what a FUN weekend! I want to go to Highland fest! You and your bestie are both so pretty and have amazing hair. That's funny that someone thought you were twins. I would definitely believe it if you told me you were sisters, but maybe after a few shots of whiskey or beer or whatever everyone was drinking there I'd be on the twin boat too. Fun weekend recap, and now I'm wondering if and how English beans are different than regular baked beans?
ReplyDeleteNext up = pictures taken from a hot air balloon :) haha
ReplyDeleteYou ladies are lovely!
I love your head wrap... You know me as a knitter, I'm sizing it up on the yarn & the stitches :) That's some bulky yarn... I love bulk in fall & winter.
Looks like a fun weekend! It's great to have the perfect mix of fun and relaxation on a weekend, that way you feel really refreshed and relaxed to start the week!
ReplyDeleteYou and your bestie are SO pretty, and you really do look a lot alike!
Love the hat, so cute on you!
Love the ear-warmer! Definitely will need it for NYC. And it's funny, as soon as I saw the pic of you side-by-side I was like wow, they look a lot alike! And then a few seconds later I saw the twins comment like umm hi I'm Captain Obvious, apparently. Sounds like a sweet weekend, glad you got to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteCute outfit and shoes!
ReplyDeleteohhh I love that ear warmer! I've always wanted one of those things, but it totally doesn't get nearly cold enough here for that mess. You and your bestie could totally pass as sisters. (I thought that before you mentioned someone said ya'll looked like twins). Mmmmm it's never a bad time for beans!
ReplyDeleteI looove that ear warmer! And you girls are just gorgeous, you could totally be sisters.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome weekend, I love seeing your pretty face so many times in this post!
ReplyDelete"Say I'm drunk." lol... what a fucking turd. That's why you never ask a guy to take a picture! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteyour hair looked amazing at the block party!! and love love those shoes!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures of y'all are funny - your husband wins:) You and your friend look so much alike!!!
