TUESDAY - JULY 4th
We spent the day with our group once again as we do most years.
Started it at a sports club our friends are members of with swimming at the pool.
Then went to our friends' house to shower and change and each family took an uber to this country club. The venue was amazing. Gorgeous scenery, tables and bbq set-up. They had all sorts of activities for the kids from zipline to jumpy houses to face painting and rock climbing, train, lawn games. Full DJ, band and dance floor with props. And not to forget the pop corn cotton candy funnel cake stations...
And ended it all with this phenomenal and quite lengthy fireworks show right over their lake...

Layered Cake

 What I wore to a luncheon my mom hosted at her house for a big Turkish group of ladies...

My inspiration was J Crew's recent catalog cover:

I fell in love with this taffeta mini gingham check prada skirt at a vintage clothing store years ago. And had to have it even though it wasn't in style and wasn't sure what I would wear with. I just knew it has major potential...
And now it is totally in style...

Skirt - Prada

Sandals - Target

Sunglasses - Alexander McQueen

Earrings - Baublebar

SUNDAY:

Before we left did a mini photo shoot with my little princess...
She wanted to dress 'cool pretty' and not 'cute pretty' and the outfit had to allow her to do her newly mastered kick over moves!

So we picked this romper with the white denim vest she picked out herself and the white sunglasses and matching white sandals like mommy's...

SATURDAY:
Went to my best friend's big summer pool party with a full live band and a lifeguard for the kids in the pool. It was a chilly night so I put this outfit on over my swim suit but couldn't convince any adults to go in the jacuzzi with me. Oh well...
