GF Weekend + Highlights

I’m LOVING summer so far. Last weekend’s festivities couldn’t have set a better tone for a fabulous summer! I’m still on cloud nine feeling like the luckiest girl in the world (more on all the engagement excitement here)! I’m really overjoyed because I get to celebrate more this weekend in Newport. A bunch of my girlfriends are all convening in Newps for our friend’s birthday! I’m really excited to wear this new watermelon print top and this new off the shoulder top this weekend. We’ll be boating, BBQing, and beaching! Per usual, I won’t be posting on here over the weekend but you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be posting on Instagram. I’d love to have you following along! Who’s ready for a GF weekend (?!) + highlights from the week are below. xx
