Happy Go Lucky!

Happy St. Patrick's Day y'all! Don't get pinched - are you wearing your green?

I did a little pre-Patty's day prep on Friday before date night with Ry where I donned my favorite green dress.

Dress: Banana Republic (sold out, same dress in print here), Necklace & Sign: Prep Obsessed

Shoes: Target: (sold out, similar here) - please excuse my leafy patio!

This choice was a very close runner up for date night, but I had already worn it earlier this week when I was trying to give Mother Nature a big HELLO, we're ready for Spring!

One of my favorite things to do is send little surprise surcies to friends and family. I coupled this with my New Year's resolution to send more mail and created a little care package.

For this fun holiday, it was all for my Sisk! My Sister-in-law is in college at my Alma Mater, and if I remember correctly, this is one holiday we always celebrated in great spirits. Can you say green beer!

Card, Candy, Mustaches, Socks: Target (sold in store)

After the surcie was packaged and in the mail, we headed out for our date. We were celebrating living in Virginia for one year (unbelievable!) and went to Heritage, one of our favorite local places, to eat a great RVA dinner!

The Burrata cheese special was AMAZING!

The Bourbon Barrel Smoked Pork Belly was so delicious, Ryan was in love!

Even though we couldn't eat too many because we're low carb'ing it (more on that later), the Shrimp Crackers were so crunchy, savory and just perfection. They were like pork rinds, but with shrimp instead, YUM!
