Happy Friday, ladies! We made it through another week! Hooray! Next Friday, I will be at the beach house in Tybee with one of my dearest friends from my Houston days. Laurie and I have been friends since 1991 and try to schedule a yearly girls’ trip. Last year we headed to Charleston, the year before Savannah, so it’s only fitting that we spend time together at the beach. Can’t wait!
This week on FWO, we are sharing casual weekend outfits. Kelly whipped up feta with lemon, which is a yummy appetizer fit for friends and family alike. The cocktail this week is a classic cocktail, Paper Plane, that was created for Toby Maloney’s Chicago bar, The Violet Hour. Rumor has it that Paper Plane is a reference to the M.I.A. track Paper Plane. It’s equal parts bourbon, Aperol, Amaro, and lemon juice.

Casual Weekend Outfits
1. Collared Shirtdress

Last week, Kelly and I featured casual weekend outfits from Banana Republic Factory. So let’s rinse and repeat for this week’s ootds. Last week I wore chinos, and Kelly wore a T-Shirt dress. This week the roles are reversed, and I’m sporting a navy t-shirt dress that is as cute as it is comfy and a pair of white sneakers. Kelly chose a darling lightweight blouse in a bold pattern, high-waisted chinos, crisscross sandals, and cinched her waist with a belt.

3. Paper Plane
5. Crispy feta with lemon
Crispy Feta with Lemon is an easy appetizer that is light and delicious. Be sure to use care when frying the feta; the cornstarch coating is delicate to work with, but it creates the lightest, crispiest crust.
Oscar, Kelly, and I wish you a lovely weekend!

Happy Mother’s Day!
OSCAR! I always look forward to seeing his mug! Funny how “one never knows” if he’ll be ready for his photo shoot 🙂 Perfect casual outfits … and the cocktail and sautéed feta with lemon — YUM!
Looking good. Love Oscar!
Enjoy your beach time! I am interested in planning a family trip to Tybee this fall. Can you recommend a company to work with in securing a place for a large group with children? Thank you.
I absolutely love your blog. Thank you for helping me fight off The Dowdies. Quick question: do you wear a slip under your polo collared dress? Does anyone? Sometimes I may wear stretchy/spandex bike shorts. What’s a gal to do?
