We had a lovely 4th of July weekend relaxing on Lake Austin. It was so nice to just lay out (in the shade, with sunscreen and a hat on!) and to go boating and eat yummy food (I was definitely NOT thinking about calories this weekend!)
Warning: this is a picture-heavy post. I was going to do an entire packing post, but I was so exhausted by the time we got home that I just unpacked everything and threw stuff in the laundry. I also WAY over-packed on this weekend trip because when we drive, I have unlimited space (not a good thing, as I ended up wearing maybe 30% of what I brought.)
Here are some photos from our weekend:
Sunday night, we took the boat to this place called “Hula Hut” which is owned by Chuy’s (for all of you in Houston who enjoy Chuy’s as much as I do!) and we had a great, casual dinner. The boat ride home was so pretty, seeing all of the houses with their lights on at night. There are a few celebrity homes on the lake and it was cool to see them pointed out. I was hoping I could wave to Sandra Bullock if she was out on her dock, but if she was there, you wouldn’t have known it!
This is what I wore today—very casual as we were driving home and stopping at the 290 outlets (which, by the way, were not good this weekend):
Shorts- Buckle
(I haven’t washed my hair in 5 days, but I seriously think the
sunscreen and dry shampoo in my hair was a winning combo)
And here is one of my cover-ups I wore (this is the room we stayed in—perfect view of the pool and lake from our window!)
Cover-up- Marshall’s
Sandals- Steve Madden

I love what you wore. OK this is sooo cheesy, but that pool area reminds me of a scene from Dallas, yes, the TV show. It was J.R. and Sue Ellen's second or third honeymoon and they stayed at a place like that! It looks just like it!
Your makeup looked great considering how hot it was.
thanks wendy 🙂 i think the la roche posay sunscreen I use helps keep my makeup on!
I have not seen Dallas, but what a cool coincidence!
It's such a gorgeous setting! Question? Do you put your sunscreen on & then your makeup on top? Do you use the sunscreen as a moisturizer?
@traci—yes, I use the sunscreen as a moisturizer and then I put makeup on top. 🙂 i don't go makeup-less even if go outside all day because we end up going to other houses or out for dinner so i like to put it on first thing and then not worry about it all day 🙂
Thanks! I need to try that.
Looks like an amazing weekend! Where did you stay at? It's beautiful there.
What gorgeous pics – looks like you had a great time!
@anon—it is my best friend's boyfriend's home
Happy Canada Day!Love your hat! Where did you get it? <3 Karen
karen—it's from the Ann Taylor outlet
I'm sorry – what? You haven't washed your hair in 5 days?? You would never know it – it looks amazing!
Looks like a fun weekend – gotta love just relaxing and spending time outside 🙂
linsday—yes, it's true! in the pic with the green shirt and black shorts—it's 5th day hair! in the other pics (with the hat on) it's 4th day hair 😛
Lovely pics! I have never visited Austin in the summer, the lake looks awesome.
But, I am wondering.. are there mosquito's lurking in the evening?
You look sooo gorgeous! I really loved this post, and the pics of you and your hubby are so adorable! xoxo <3
That place looks gorgeous! Hope you had a fun weekend. Love your swimsuit coverup. You look great! It's really inspiring- as soon as I get home from Italy I need to start a workout routine again. I'll definitely need it after spending 2 weeks there.
Veronika, you're just so stinking beautiful, girl!
And omg that house and the view? Did you guys rent it?
@anna— thanks girl 🙂 I loved your beach trip video from the other day!
@schnelle—your Italy trip sounds amazing, you must be so exicted!!!
@elena— it's actually my friend's boyfriend's home 🙂
Lake Austin looks so beautiful and relaxing!!! Glad you had a nice mini vacay Veronika. I love all the summery outfits you wore.
That house is gorgeous! It looks like such a relaxing place. Love it!
And I love the picture of you and your H. So cute! You guys are such a nice looking couple 🙂
That house is beautiful! I love all of the water too, reminds me of FL!
We did the outlets this weekend too, didn't find anything for me but a lot of great stuff for the kids!
Your hair looks amazing for not washing it for 5 days! What dry shampoo do you use?
@anon—I was using serge normant during this trip but I also use suave. Here is a link to the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/Serge-Normant-Revive-Shampoo-Cedar/dp/B004W2S6YO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=beauty&qid=1309883455&sr=8-1
What a beautiful place! I would love to lay out by that pool.
Your casual outfits are so cute! Love the fedora on you =)
Does your hair smell bad? It has too if you're not washing it for 5 days. That is seriously nasty!
@rachel— It honestly doesn't. The dry shampoo refreshes everything and it smells like the dry shampoo. Everyone's body chemistry is different and I understand that for the average person, going 3 to 5 days without washing isn't possible, but for me, it works.
What a great vacation spot!!
That's a single guy's house? Lucky guy! That pool is gorgeous.
LOVE your hat. Perfection!
sarah— yep! lucky guy to have such a nice home, lots of hard work to have a home like that!
Awesome photos! Looks like a FAB weekend! And Lucy is adorable. BTW, your hair still looks great even after going a few days! 🙂
