Weekend Recap: Amanda's Bach Wknd

Our weekend souvenirs: monogrammed
Tervis, tank top, sunglasses, and temporary
"Bride Tribe" tattoos!

This weekend I went to Lake Oconee to celebrate one of my bridesmaids who is now the bride! Amanda is getting married next month, and I'm thrilled to be one in her wedding, too. We celebrated her upcoming nuptials at the most beautiful lake house that had a pool  {complete with swim-up bar!} and hot tub overlooking the lake.

Once we all arrived Friday evening, we had a pajama party and lingerie shower for the bride after spending a couple of hours in the pool. One of my favorite treats from the weekend was the pink princess popcorn which was popcorn, white chocolate {plus a few drops of red food coloring}, and rainbow sprinkles all mixed together. It was delicious, and was the perfect PJ party treat!

Saturday consisted of an all-day pool party with a variety of the coolest pool floats around. The bride lounged on her white swan, and I tanned on my way bigger than expected giant pink flamingo float. I bought these pink flamingo floating koozies for everyone, too! We had a pineapple, cupcake, everything bagel, beer pong, and pizza float in the pool. It was too fun, and the best way to keep cool on such a hot weekend.









Saturday night we went to Athens for dinner at a sushi/karaoke bar {who knew this kind of thing existed! It was a blast} before hitting the town with our bride-to-be. Even though it was so hot, we had a great time hopping from place to place. My favorite was definitely the rooftop Georgia Theater bar. It was beautiful!

 After Sunday morning breakfast, we cleaned the house and loaded up to head out. I couldn't bear to totally deflate my giant flamingo float, so it road home with me in the backseat with all the seats down, half deflated. I bet all the other drivers were surprised to see a giant pink bird riding down the interstate!

Warby Parker Spring Collection

Do you know about Warby Parker? The eyewear company that allows you to try on frames in the comfort of your home and also has a 'Buy a Pair, Give a Pair' approach to their business?

Today I am partnering with Warby Parker to share the launch of their spring collection, inspired by the bold colors and excitement of the circus.

I've admired their clean, classic designs for a long time {see Game Day Get Ups, here}, and will now be a devoted forever fan with the inclusion of a design named Piper! It almost feels like this look was made just for me. I typically choose tortoise shell sunglasses because the mix of colors not only provides texture and depth while wearing, but also coordinates with a wide variety of outfits.

The Piper frame features updated color combinations, as well as crystal embeds along the bottom rim for an added touch of flair. That peony pair...of course I like anything that sports a little pink!

Of course, sunnies aren't their only staple. For me, eye glasses is where the 'try on at home' feature becomes so important. Just last year, I was sitting at the eye doctor, trying on dozens of frames, looking into tiny, horrible mirrors. But never again! Warby Parker lets you try out up to five frames in the comfort of your home...using your mirrors, under your lighting, and near your closet to see if the style is something that works for you. 

I think this clear design is very unique! I never would have thought to try clear frames, but it intrigues me. I tend to gravitate towards darker glasses of any type, but the brightness in this spring collection is definitely inspiring. 

Playful polka dots complement all of these fun spring styles. This white cashmere pom pom sweater is beautiful, even if the price tag is not! Check out all of the Warby Parker spring collection here, and use the hashtag #WarbyHomeTryOn on Instagram or Twitter to easily find photos and comment on the styles you think suit you the best!
