easter morning started with some of skinnytaste's insanely good blueberry oatmeal muffins and let me tell you: they were insanely good! i used frozen blueberries instead of fresh, didn't pulse the oats and used splenda brown sugar but they were still delicious! i also made the batter up last night (but didn't add the blueberries until this morning) and they baked perfectly! we also had some chopped fruit on the side and it was the perfect easter morning breakfast before church! the easter bunny also dropped by our house last night and he was way too good to us! somehow the bunny always fills our baskets with more than we could possibly need! even though we are 21 and 24 years old, phillip and i still hunted for easter eggs this morning! this year however there wasn't a real winner since we each found 12 eggs!
in my fashion book, with easter comes white bottoms, shoes and accessories, linen pants and of course, the return of seersucker! i love seersucker so much that the men in my wedding will be wearing it (a: if there ever is a wedding & b: i guess that means i will have to get married sometime between easter and the ut vs alabama football game in october). today we were dressed in our easter best for church and then changed into something still springy but more comfortable for lunch at my grandmother's! it was a two OOTD kind of day!
j. crew jeweled collar sleeveless top, j. crew collection skirt, kork-ease wedges, lilly pulitzer white bangle
j. crew collection jeweled v-neck, j. crew linen drapey pants, tory burch sandals, tory burch aviator sunglasses
we always go to my grandmother's for easter lunch every year. we have more food than we know what to do with, she makes her to-die-for poundcake and the grandkids have a big easter egg hunt! the egg hunt is always the highlight of the day and is always fun since the eggs all contain little pieces of green paper that obviously the older kids scramble for! to add to the lunch, i made copycat aubrey's squash casserole and it was pretty tasty if i say so myself! i ate more than i should have and will certainly not be stepping on the scales tomorrow! i know a day off from exercising and splurging on food is good every once in a while but it still gives me anxiety! i do know that i will be eating normal again starting in the morning!
this weekend was nothing short of perfect and i am sad to see it come to an end! i love spending time with my family and am so lucky for the closeness i share with them, especially my mawsie, mom and dad. it is hard to believe that i will be done with school just two weeks from tuesday and will be a senior! tomorrow starts the last leg of my junior year! i hope everyone has had as happy an easter as me and that you have great start to the week!
xoxo,
