do i have a fun fridays with oscar today! and a very special guest star, lisa from the Silver Stylist. swing by her site and say hello! lisa is also on Instagram and Facebook. yes, it’s friday time to kick up our heels and relax. what better way to do that than sharing a cocktail and a ladies’ lunch with one of your besties? lisa and i have been gal pals since i moved to Georgia five years ago! she’s a silver hair sister, blogging buddy, and truly one of my dearest friends that i love to spend time with, whether chatting on the phone, texting, or in-person. the commute from door to door is forty-five minutes, so we have to plan our get-togethers ahead of time. but we try our best to squeeze in a monthly lunch, whether in Athens, Atlanta, or somewhere in-between.
of course, oscar is here for his weekly gig. believe you me; this dog never misses out on extra love and attention when someone walks through our front door. oscar has yet to meet a human he didn’t love, and the love is bound to return, right?!
mother nature decided to put on a show today, delivering sunshine, blue skies, and perfect temps! sooner or later, Georgia will heat up with highs in the nineties and a humidity level to match. so we’ll take all the picture-perfect days we can get! lisa looks adorable in frayed hem jeans and a floral blouse from LOFT. me? i’m sporting new cropped flare pants (size 8) that also come in linen from J.Crew that fit like a dream, a blouse from Diane von Furstenberg (old, similar here, here, and here), and block heel sandals from Stuart Weitzman (affordable options here and here). yes, they’re pricey shoes but oh so comfortable.

Love your spring look. I need to get some crop pants. Always good to be with a girlfriend to enjoy your day. Have a great weekend Beth.
What a great, happy post. I know you both had a wonderful time chatting. I love the way you both have styled your outfits and I declare, Oscar is actually grinning in these photos.😄
It’s nice to see you with a girlfriend, it makes me feel like I know you better, thanks for letting us into your life again!
Great post!! It is great to have a girlfriend to just enjoy from time to time!!
Lovely hair, beautiful ladies! You both look so nice in your inviting backyard. Enjoy the wonderful weather and day together. Thank you Beth for all you do! Great post, happy Friday!
Love both of your outfits you have on today. Oscar is adorable as usual. Have a good visit and time today.
Lisa and you have such pretty grey hair. My hair is turning salt and pepper gray. I’ve noticed it doesn’t look shiny anymore as when I had black hair. What hair products do you use and recommend for grey hair?
Can’t wait to try the gin and aperol cocktail! Sounds so good about now! Thank you lovely ladies for sharing your style and wisdom! I love your blog, Beth and I will check out Lisa and her blog! All the best!
You two look so polished in your outfits. Hope you enjoyed a lovely afternoon. Love your backyard.
Very pretty atractive women.
Going to try the cocktail.

Have a nice afternoon
