We spent the first day at our hotel, enjoying the pool. I read the entire way to Austin and the entire time at the pool and I finished an incredible book: “A Place of Yes
These are the outfits I wore on the first day of our trip (sorry about the bad lighting!)
Top- American Eagle
Shorts- Abercrombie & Fitch
Sandals- Steve Madden

The next day, we drove to Lake Austin to stay at my best friend’s boyfriend’s home on the lake. It was seriously like heaven being there. The house was right on the lake with a massive swimming pool and volley ball court.
We went out on the boat, hung out by the pool and just relaxed. At night, we went out for dinner to a great place in the Austin hills—they had live music. It was super windy but it was such a fun night with great people!
Because it was Memorial Day weekend, I knew the sales would be crazy, so on the way home from Austin we hit the Domain mall. I didn’t find anything I liked there and we decided to stop in at the Outlets on 290 in Cypress to check out their sales too. Let’s just say I scored, big time.
I also got this awesome hat from Ann Taylor. I have been obsessed with hats lately. I just cannot stop buying them. I paid $20 for this one (it was 40% off as well):
The last thing I bought was this adorable dress from the Banana Republic outlet. It was originally $120 and I paid $13.97. I felt like I was stealing!
Lastly, for my birthday, I got some more Pandora charms for my bracelet! They are SO cute! These are from my mother and father in law. The new ones are the queen bee, cupcake and tea pot!
Thank you for all of the birthday wishes in my previous post and thank you, as always, for reading.
xoxo,
Veronika.
Belated Happy Birthday! I love all of your outfits and, goodness, what deals!!!
Well happy birthday! That's so funny- that Hey Cupcake! is about a block from my house and while I agree they're not the best cupcakes I've ever had, they'll sure do in a pinch. 😉 Love the fedora and the pink & white striped tee.
I'm glad you had a great birthday!
I love Bethenny Frankel! I have her book Naturally Thin and it's a great way to re-examine your eating choices and relationship with food.
I also do her yoga video in rotation with other workouts – she comments through the whole thing and makes me laugh.
Happy belated birthday!!
Your trip looked very fun and relaxing, I totally need one!
Love your new pandora charms!

Looks like a fantastic time! I love all the pictures, it's so nice seeing you in casual clothes. Love the birthday shopping as well, especially the first pair of shoes! So pretty!
Happy belated! Glad you had a good one. So so jealous of the great deals at Kate Spade, especially the first pair! I never find great deals for shoes in my size. Sad.

Cute outfits for Austin. We are thinking about taking a weekend trip there this summer. It's been a while and we just love it there!
You scored some nice things at the outlet. I need to take a trip out there sometime soon 😀
I've been considering getting Bethenny's new book too! I love love love her Naturally Thin and her style of writing! I can hear her voice as I read it, which made it way more fun!
I love the outfits! I wish I could pull off the frayed shorts look though.
Veronika, happy belated birthday! Thanks for sharing your weekend, it looks like you had a wonderful time. I love the picture of you and your BFF, you both look so pretty.

Oh my goodness! What a fun weekend! So glad you chose to post it! I've read Bethenny's "Naturally Thin" and loved it…definitely want to read "A Place of Yes"…so glad you recommend it. Also what a MAJOR score on those Kate Spade pumps…wow…and weren't you just looking for nice black pumps? I'd say you had a pretty darn good birthday! xo
Happy belated birthday? My birthday is on the 3rd and I celebrated this weekend, too! When's yours??? You're gorgeous, as always!
Ahhh! That dress!! You lucky girl!
Happy Belated Birthday! Mine is a week from today! isnt a June birthday just the best!? I was just wondering, I absolutely love your nude colored bow sandals from steve madden and I was just wondering if you knew what they were called! (thinking of hinting to my mom as a birthday present!) Thanks!
<3 Taylor
PS: I absolutely love your blog! I just discovered it a couple of months ago and its great! I always look forward to reading it every day!
i have no idea what they are called—but if you go back on posts and search bow sandals, you will see another website that sells them for super cheap (not steve madden ones but another brand) good luck!
Ok thanks so much!!
