What's Up Wednesday

By -

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the another round of What's Up Wednesday with my girls Shay and Sheaffer. I couldn't be more excited to share what's going on in our lives right now! Here's what's new and exciting!

What we're eating this week:
I'm so excited about our menu this week! We're having copycat Chipotle Barbacoa Bowls, Mexican Chicken Bake and Mediterranean Meatballs! So so good!


What I'm reminiscing about:
My sister's oldest son turned seven this last week and I'm feeling nostalgic remembering the day he was born. My husband and I were actually on our way to his sister's wedding when we got the call that my sister just had her baby. The hospital was along the way so we stopped in to see our newest little nephew! It was love at first site and him and I are still super close today. I love that little guy!


What I'm loving:
The hot summer weather! I've gone to the pool, the beach, camping and so many fun places since it's been super nice outside! I shared my current fave swimsuit last month, but here's another one I love! It can be mixed and matched and they have so many prints!


What we've been up to:
My husband and I work with the youth in our church so he went to Scout Camp and I got to go to Girls Camp. I hadn't been since I was a youth almost 12 years ago! This year the camp was at Turner Falls, OK and it was so hot but super fun!  

What I'm dreading:
Nothing!

What I'm working on:
I'm still working on my Harry Potter Monopoly game and it's going to be epic! I'll be sure to share when it's finished!

What I'm excited about:
The new website for my business, Lexi's Loft! I finally said goodbye to Etsy and started my own site and it launched this last week! I can't wait to see what happens and comes my way on this new adventure!!

My new website!! Take a look!

What I'm reading:
I'm still reading Rachel Hollis' new book "Girl, Stop Apologizing"...slowly but surely! I really like how relatable, real and blunt she is. She calls it like she sees it and really helps woman to go after what they want and not get in their own way.


What I'm watching:
I'm totally rewatching One Tree Hill right now. It's one of my all time favorite shows! And I'm still watching The Bachelorette, but to be honest I'm pretty much done with her season. I'm so over the Luke P stuff and how the petty drama has just dragged on way too long. I'm over it! Anyone else agree?


What I'm wearing:
Graphic tees for days! I'm so obsessed with simple tees, especially in the summer. I pair them with midi skirts, shorts, jeans and wide leg crop pants. I wrote a post on different ways to style graphic tees here! Here's my current fave midi skirt from American Eagle and it's on MAJOR SALE! 60% off!

"Take It Easy" Tee - Lexi's Loft

Customizable Decade Shirt - Lexi's Loft
Wide Leg Crop Pant - Walmart
Black Booties - Target

"Tacos Por Favor" Tee - Lexi's Loft
Animal Print Midi Skirt - American Eagle
Tennis Shoes - Reebok

What I'm doing this weekend:
Not sure yet! The hubby and I are both in need of a low key weekend so maybe we'll see the new movie "Yesterday"...it looks so good! What are y'alls plans? I need ideas!

What I'm looking forward to next month:
The 4th of July! So excited to have some good BBQs, hang with friends and hit the beach! I'm obsessed with the idea of "burger bars" and think they're the cutest! It's such a good way to layout food and make it look so pretty. Here's some yummy side dishes to take to your holiday BBQ this year: cornbread jalapeno poppers, mac and cheese, sweet potato fries!

Playing Catch Up: June (Plumb Family Vaca)

June was a CRAZY month for us! My family came out for eight days and then Shawn's parents and friends came out for about five days. Oh, and we managed to squeeze a super fun camping trip in between those visits! We love having visitors, it makes us feel less lonely and far away from everyone! And we love showing people around Boston! My parents and two little sisters came out here the first week of June and we had so much fun! We did everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! We crammed a lot into the eight days they were here. The first day we took it easy and laid low since they got in really late the night before. We went and checked out the Harvard campus, had some shawarma , then went and saw Wonder Woman (such a good movie!) in 3D at the huge IMAX screen inside Jordan's Furniture. If anyone hasn't been there, you really should check it out ! They have the newest technology for sound...there are sound boxes above you, in front of you, behind you, on the sides of you, AND

Happy Friday! Isn't summer the best?! The sunshine, laying by the pool, days at the beach, cruises, vacations...it's perfect! Just like I did this spring, I've put together some items to help you build the perfect summer capsule wardrobe! Whether you have fun summer vacays planned or just need to freshen up your closet, I'm sure that these capsule pieces will inspire everyone!  The whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a handful of staple pieces from each clothing category that can be mixed and matched to form a wardrobe of multiple outfits. The pieces should all be complimentary in color, pattern, style, etc. So let's get started!  First up, the basics! The best way to start building your capsule wardrobe is with some simple tees. I tend to choose tees that are neutral in color; some solid some with subtle texture. This way they go with more items and outfits! (Tip: make sure one of them is a plain white tee because they literall
