It's getting random up here in today. I thought I would give you a piece of my life's pie. Hope that's okay.
Last Saturday I was lucky enough to spend the entire afternoon that lasted until the wee hours of the night with some of my most favorite girls on the planet. We ate like it was our job, sipped on some cocktails and relaxed Real Housewives style by the pool. It was a grand time...
...up until I decided to jump into the super shallow end of the pool and seriously mangle my middle toe. I would show you a picture, but I don't want to embarrass myself.
Moving on...
We geared up for a little Taylor Swift last night. If you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen a few pictures. This was our third time seeing T-Swift and girl puts on a killer show.
Ed Sheeran is touring with her and they didn't disappoint with "Everything Has Changed". This song gets me every time. One of my all time faves of ANY song.

If you have a chance to see her live, please grab tickets whether you are a fan or not. I SWEAR, she will convert you. Her show is full on entertainment and her voice is exactly as it is on her albums. I just might have shed a tear or ten during the show. I NEVER do this
with anyone, but her story, humbleness, heart and journey is REAL and she hasn't
EVER conformed to what mainstream expects; no matter the critics and
people that have mocked and ridiculed her. She's stayed true to
herself regardless of her embarrassing relationship mishaps. Plus, she is a role model to my daughters. Can you tell that I am fan? She inspires me and her music speaks to
my soul even though I could be her mom. Pure genius and "Entertainer of the Year" in my book...sorry Blake Shelton.
Next on the list...
Memorial Day weekend plans. Guess what saddle I am getting back into? It's something you might remember me discussing last summer. It's a little thing I like to call "glamping". Let me break it down. It's camping with all the finer things in life included: a bed, electricity, running water, a refrigerator, showers, restrooms, pool and a few water slides. We are hitting Jellystone again with about 10+ other families from our neighborhood. Here's a little bit of what last year looked like.
Last, but definitely NOT least on the agenda...
One of my very first and BEST blogging friends opened up her new online apparel and accessory store last week. Miss Stesha, man, what do I say about this girl? We have become such great friends. We can chat over the phone for hours, send crazy hilarious texts to one another and most importantly be each others cheerleaders. She has made an appearance or two on the blog and I am so honored to introduce you to her online store today, Classic & Bubbly The Shop.
Stesha's gorgeousness goes well beyond the exterior. Her heart and soul are just as beautiful. I can't say enough how much I LOVE her. And I am doing my best to get her to Austin in August to visit and go to Texas Style Council with me. We have long overdue hugs, cocktails and in person chats to catch up on. What's crazy is that she is MUCH younger than me, but for some reason, our personalities just connect...it was instant...it's been well over a year since we "met" through blogging and our friendship is stronger than ever.
I hope you take some time and check out her new shop and show her some love. Her eye for style is KILLER, just look at some of her blog posts. She will blow you away.
GREAT NEWS, Stesha is offering one reader a $30 store credit to Classic & Bubbly The Shop, plus all friends can receive a 30% discount on all items by using the code SHANNASAID30. Go now!! This dress I am wearing in today's post is a definite must for the summer.

I am loving that nautical maxi dress! It screams summer. I have a denim vest that I have held on to since high school, which was a few years ago;) So I could probably pull that outfit off! We have some friends who just went to see Taylor and loved it too. I just may take my kiddo the next time she is in town. Blessings, Susan
Looks like you have been having a blast!!! I love TSwift too...I just can't help it. :)
I love this look. I like that the dress isn't all stripes all the way down it.
Ok, first off...I really like the Carnation Classic from Stesha's shop. SO adorable!!
This dress looks so fantastic on you, Shanna!! I'm so glad you guys had a great time last night. I enjoyed all the sweet pics on Instagram. Taylor Swift really is great live!
