Leather Skirt Love

    There is something about an outdoor concert that just makes it exponentially more enjoyable.  When I heard that Justin Timberlake and Jay Z would be touring this summer, I knew I wanted to go.  When I heard that it was going to be outdoors at Fenway Park, I knew it would be a once in a lifetime experience.  I already shared some pictures here, but I wanted to provide a few more details about what I wore.

Earrings: Apricot Lane}

Full disclosure, I changed out my heels for some leather T-strap sandals before we left.  I knew we'd be on our feet for the whole show and might possibly walk home so I needed to be reasonable, even though these heels are crazy comfortable.

    I have been looking for the perfect leather skirt for awhile now.  It's one of those items that I'll try on, ponder, then put back on the rack because it's just not exactly right.  It's been that way for awhile now.  With fall coming up, and knowing that leather skirts will be a must-have (in any and every color) I was determined to find one.  Lucky for me it was right in front of me and reasonably priced at H&M.  I have a lot of friends tell me that H&M is kind of a hit or miss place for them to shop, and I agree.  But I do think that H&M Online will change that.  It will make the shopping experience more tailored to what you're looking for rather than just rummaging through racks and racks of clothes.  With that being said, I'm really glad that I tried this skirt on because I had to buy a size up from what I normally wear.  Have you checked out H&M Online yet?  And in case you haven't found a perfect leather skirt yet, below I have rounded up my favorites of the season.  Happy shopping!

Weekend Recap

    This weekend was so EPIC!  Much thanks to Mr. Timberlake and Mr. Carter for making it happen.  So how did it all go down?

Well first, I cooked way too much food.  If Kevin and I don't start working out soon, things are going to go downhill quickly.

Then I got all dressed up for two men who I've had eyes for since I was twelve--my husband and Justin Timberlake.  Outfit details coming later this week.

Before the concert, we had people over for a cookout and there was a lot of sangria, beer, and cornhole.

Then it was time for the main event...

There is a reason I've seen JT in concert four times, and honestly JayZ is a crazy good performer too.  It was the BEST concert I have ever been to and it took quite some time to recover from!  So that's what I did this weekend!
