Weekend + Off to San Fran

Happy Friday loves! By the time you are reading this, I am probably already in the air on my way the West Coast for a long weekend. I am so excited be reunited with one of my best friends and can't wait to spend the weekend catching up and exploring one of my favorite cities! Follow along on instagram and snapchat (emdepet.) Here's this week's links and finds...

// This London apartment.... ahamzingggg. I am smitten with the outdoor space. 

// No plans for the weekend? Check out another fun Fall bucket list provided by Glitter Guide. 

// I'm a sucker for anything navy and definitely for a good shift. This would be perfect for fall paired with a scarf and boots or dressed up with a fun necklace and heels. 

// Trader Joe's is my go to for grocery shopping and I loved checking out these awesome menu plans on a budget. 

// I am an overthinker by nature, in fact it might be my worst trait. This is a good reminder and probably something I should have tattooed on my forehead. 

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! I will be back next week with pictures and updates from the weekend! 

Yours truly, 

Emily Ann

Please & Thank You

Happy Thursday friends! Today is technically my Friday and I could not be more excited. As of almost too early tomorrow morning I will be up in the air on my way to San Francisco for the weekend to see one of my best friends! The last time I was out there was last May and I can't wait to be back on the west coast! This time around I am traveling with one of my other good friends and I can't wait for all that we have planned. We will be exploring some of the best neighborhoods in SF, as well as taking some excursions to Sausalito and Napa. Feel free to follow along throughout the weekend on instagram on follow me on snapchat ( emdepet.) 

For this week's Please & Thank You, I have a random assortment of goodies. I am loving this sweater from Asos, not only because it's striped but I LOVE the elbow patches. Next these booties... they are the perfect blend of slouch but still sophisticated looking. This perfume is new to be but it smells absolutely amazing, it's light but has a touch of amber and jasmine, two of my favorites. Looking for the perfect clutch for fall... I love the deep color of this crocodile print and the fold over detail. Lastly, I have been putting off getting an electronic reader for sometime, partly because I just didn't think I needed one and also because there's just something about holding a book and turning the pages that I enjoy. However, as an avid reader but no patience for the library, I am thinking I may have to give in soon. Here's where my question comes in- do I get a kindle or a nook? Suggestions are welcomed! 

Hope everyone has a great day! 
Yours truly,

Happy Fall + A Bucket List

I am 100% guilty of being one of those people that looks forward to Fall all year long and pretty much wishes the end of summer away. Once the air gets a bit crisp, football season has started, and it's officially pumpkin everything... I am one happy camper. This fall I am happy to be living in Raleigh in a new home and new roommates and now new puppy! I am looking forward to a few trips planned but mostly just enjoying my favorite season and crossing a few these off my to do list...

Whats on your Fall Bucket List?

Yours truly,

Weekend Recap: Football + A Puppy

Happy Monday friends! This weekend was one for the books and I would be lying if I said I wasn't struggling a little more then normal on a Monday. This past weekend I traveled home to Annapolis to spend time with my friends and family and cheer on the Pirates against Navy. Although we didn't win, it was still a great weekend...

I arrived in town early Friday morning and decided the best way to enjoy the day was a long walk through on of my favorite neighborhoods overlooking the water. Momma had plans for shopping and lunch but it was so beautiful outside, I opted for this alternative. 

After the walk we headed to run a few errands to get the house ready for a few friends that were staying with us for the weekend. Once food and drinks were ready and we were showered, we broke up the selfie stick and took this gem. 

3 generations. I am so fortunate for both of these ladies and love them so much. Friday night we made a yummy dinner at home and then headed out to downtown to explore and grab a few drinks

Saturday it was time to tailgate! We had a great set up of yummy food from crab melts to wings and I had so much fun catch up with friends. I even got lucky and got to see my best friend from home, Alison. 

After the game we headed back downtown to grab dinner and hang out the rest of the night. 

Sunday was a serious struggle but made a little easier by the arrival of this sweet girl. 

Meet Piper. She is absolutely beautiful and my roommates new lab puppy. We are already so in love with her and have been spoiling her non stop. 

That's about it for the weekend! Hope everyone has a great start to the week!

Yours truly, 

Emily Ann

Weekend

Thank goodness Friday is finally here. As I mentioned yesterday, I was happy to start my weekend a day early yesterday and am home for the weekend in Annapolis. It's a been over a month since I was last home and while that doesn't sound like a long time, I am so excited to be back and spend time with my family. This weekend the Pirates will be playing Navy and I have several friends coming in town to stay at my house and can't wait to see everyone and cheer on the Pirates at Navy stadium. Here's a few links and finds form this week...

// Anyone else terrible about making sure they drink enough water throughout the day? I am completely guilty of it but looking forward to trying a few things on this list. Staying hydrated is so important and I can always tell a difference in myself from my energy to my skin when I am drinking enough water. 

// These look absolutely amazing, perfect sweet treat that won't leave me feeling guilty. 

// This poncho with jeans, boots, and a long sleeve tshirt underneath... yes. 

// I am constantly reminding myself of this. Don't stress what you have no control over... truth. 

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Yours truly, 

Emily Ann

Please & Thank You

Happy Thursday friends! Thank goodness today is my Friday and I will be off tomorrow and heading home for a long weekend back to Annapolis. I have been working since Saturday and have been totally thrown off this week due to working the past weekend. I can't wait to catch up on sleep this weekend and spend the weekend with friends and family cheering on the Pirates against Navy! Above are a few things that I am currently wanting, especially those boots... love love love. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Lately...

Here's a bit of what I have been up to amidst the traveling and crazy work weeks...

A fun visit to Logan's Garden Shop in Raleigh. If you live in the Raleigh area, I highly suggest you check it out, I could have spent hours there. They have everything from outdoor flowers, lovely fiddle leaf figs, home decor, produce and an amazing cafe that makes the perfect spot for lunch. I loved this display of blue and white planters. 

A fun midweek concert with the roomies to see The Doobie Brothers and Gregg Allman. It is so easy to get in a slump during the week and even though I prefer to be in bed most nights by 9, this concert was a great way to break up the week and gave me something to look forward to. 

A sick day from work called for extra hydrating and catching up on J.Crew's Fall catalog. I'll take one of everything. 

Swing Dress

Cocoon Dress

Two recent purchases I am looking forward to wearing this fall. 

Yours truly, 

Emily Ann
