Today is my Thursday! Wohoo for short weeks and long weekends! I'm taking Friday off because this weekend is my bachelorette party in Napa. I'm beyond excited and am having serious trouble concentrating at work because I just can't wait for it to be Friday already. I was very involved in the planning with my sister because I am controlling and that's just who I am😇 So I'm spending this week getting everything ready and packed. We ordered a lot of fun and cute goodies that have been arriving so I'm getting more and more excited. I'm doing a fun partnership where I'll be sharing pictures from my bachelorette and I can't wait to show you guys!

Working title: My Ride or Die Products😂 As I think I've mentioned before, Krista's blog is one of my favorites and I was inspired by a post she did last week where she shared products she uses every day. So here we are today with my version! Obviously I can live without these things but they're all products I reach for every day without fail. 

 Volume 20...can you believe we've been at it for 20 weeks? I hope you're still enjoying these weekly posts because I have a fun time gathering things to share throughout the week!

I know most people don't want to think about the end of summer, but it's been on my mind a lot these days! I was at Target twice this weekend and was constantly reminded that school is starting soon by the hordes of children all of the backpacks and colored pencils I saw strategically positioned around the store. It got me thinking that while I'm pretty excited for fall there are still some things I want to do before it's officially here!

This cardigan. It truly is what dreams are made of. I honestly feel like I'm wearing a hug when I have this baby on. I'm excited that I snagged it during the Nordstrom sale. I love love love cashmere (who doesn't?) but didn't have any non-neutral sweaters already so I'm happy to have this cardigan as part of my repertoire. When I ordered it I thought it would be more of a burgundy but it's definitely more eggplant purple which isn't my normal go to but I ended up loving it! We've been having a little bit cooler weather (read: mid 70's) so I decided to wear this fall outfit to work yesterday. I may have been a wee bit hot in the sun but it's freezing in my office so whatever!

Oh man am I happy this week is over. I'm headed home to Minnesota just for the weekend after work today and I can't wait! It's going to be such a short trip but I'm excited to spend some time with my family and get some wedding stuff hammered out. You may remember that my dress was supposed to be ready when I was home in June but wasn't, thus the extra trip. I have my first fitting tomorrow and I am so nervous! Both because I haven't tried the dress on since November and because I ordered it in a different color than the one I tried on. So scared I won't like it. Wish me luck!
