If you follow us on Instagram, you saw that when I first got this jumpsuit in the mail, it did not look like it looked on the ASOS model- on me. I felt like I was straight up out of a Tommy Bahama catalogue. But then, I got to the beach and it all felt right. This awesome floral print jumper from ASOS has pockets and are what summer dream vacays are made of.
John and I are currently at the Homestead celebrating our anniversary, and if it weren’t for the rain, you can bet this post would have been done a few days later. However, with only a few precious weeks left this summer, I felt compelled to hop on my laptop and share some fun jumpsuits for the end of summer days with you! Jumpsuits make life so so easy. No need to put together a full outfit, when you can just throw one on and VOILA! Shop our favorite picks below.
It is that time of year again, and although we truly feel like we have time traveled through this year (this summer especially) due to how fast it has been flying by, one of the reasons we are not complaining about this time traveling is bc the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is HERE! We have been reading about (and anticipating) this sale for days and days and we have fairly picked what is the best of the best for this Anniversary Sale for our faves, YOU!
We personally look forward to splurging on things like beauty products, handbags, and shoes when this Nordstrom sale rolls around because that is where we find ourselves paying full price more often than not. You know, your favorite perfume to a trusty pair of black boots to last you all year that you look for regardless of a sale? That is what we are talking about. Who doesn’t love a good deal on things that you are going to purchase anyway? NOT US.

Back in June, we had the distinct pleasure of partnering with Lexus of RichmondandCville Tours for a day of wine tasting and gorgeous views in Charlottesville. This is the second year that the two have teamed up to offer guests new luxurious experiences. Their Taste of Luxury partnership enhances three tours by allowing guests to experience the brilliance of Lexus firsthand. Guests, like us, are chauffeured to and from the tour in a 2018 Lexus LS or Lexus LX (what we rode in) for a perfectly curated experience. In addition to the Behind The Scenes Wine Tour we experienced, they also offer a Vineyard Horseback Riding Tour with VIP Wine Tasting and a Gearhart Chocolate Experience. Each of these is a unique way to experience what we have to offer in the beautiful state of VA.
Now for the good stuff: our tour!
For our trip, we started atKing Family Vineyards. Known for its Sunday polo matches and delicious Crosé, King Family is one of Charlottesville’s most notable wineries. This wasn’t my first time at King Family, but it was certainly one of my favorites. We enjoyed a tasting with Matthew, their Wine Club Manager, and of course, loved all of the wines. Cath opted to take in the Crozet views over a glass of Crosé and I fell in love with their Roseland white blend (Chardonnay, Viognier + Petite Menseng). It was the perfect first stop for our tour.
Our Second Stop wasPollak Vineyards. This was a new one for me, but I have friends who rave about the wine, so I was extra excited to try it! As it was the middle of the day on a Wednesday, we had the place practically to ourselves, which made for an awesomely intimate tasting experience. The tasting room was gorgeous, the wines were delightful and I was reminded how lucky we are to live in a state that makes such great wine. One of the highlights was tasting their Meritages from 2014 and 2015, along with some homemade chocolates. *delish* However, surprise, surprise, we ended up with a bottle of rosé, which we enjoyed on the deck outside with sandwiches that we picked up from Greenwood Grocer!
Our third stop wasVeritas! Last time I was there, it was just before Christmastime, so the experience was completely different. Their tasting room is full of plush leather couches and over the holidays, by the fire, I enjoyed some delicious red wines. This time, however, we were able to enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio post-tasting and it was the perfect end to our tour! The views of the valley and the mountains from Veritas really can’t be beat. After all of the white and rose we had tasted throughout the day, I opted for a glass of red, while Cath stuck with the day’s theme and enjoyed a glass of rose.
Thanks so much for the BEST day Lexus of Richmond + CVILLE Tours!
We truly had the most luxurious day! If you’re in the market for a new car, look no further than Lexus! Lexus of Richmond offers complimentary pick-up and delivery service within a 30-mile radius of downtown Charlottesville. Talk about good service!
It’s Taco Tuesday, y’all!!! And who doesn’t like tacos? If you don’t, we don’t trust you. (JK, kinda) Early on in our friendship, you could find us weekly at Sidewalk on Taco Tuesday, drinking Coronas. These days, you can find Catherine and I snacking on chips and salsa pretty much any day of the week and when we are feeling truly domestic, you can find us throwing a taco dinner fiesta!! And, no, its not usually a culinary masterpiece. Sometimes the good old boxed Taco kit is all you need. Recently, thanks to Target and Shipt groceries, we got to improve our fiesta “supplies.” We picked out items that would be handy to have around the house and at the same time, create an aesthetically pleasing taco setup. Because, well, instagram.
SO! Shop a few of our favorite Fiesta accessories from Crate & Barrel and Target, and be prepared to entertain TCP style at a moments notice!
One of my favorite things about being a duo is being able to share clothes. This probably isn’t the first time I’ve talked about this on the blog, but there it is! Before I left for Chicago, I went over to Catherine’s and raided her closet. I borrowed a camo jacket, that I wore everyday (seen in my insta here), and a couple of other pieces. I couldn’t help but grab this red dress, even though I knew I probably wouldn’t wear it on our trip. And alas, I didn’t. But I did wear it to play dress up in the back yard before a date night with John! Cath has a real eye for picking out dresses that are going to make a statement and this red dress is no different!
