May Pretties

How is it already June?!

The first day of each month is always so eye opening to me. I like "firsts" in general... first day of the year, of the week, of the season. I like not knowing what the month will hold but hoping that it will hold a lot of great things. While new months may also bring some not-so-great things, in between the unknown, there will always be the good parts or "the pretties". Today, I'm taking a look back at all of the great things I enjoyed about May! Most of these are photos I've shared on Instagram over the past month but since not everybody uses that app, I'm transferring them to the blog in the form of "May Pretties"!

Started off May in Hilton Head Island and a frozen drink in my hand!

Met up with friends at a Bluegrass festival and tasted some of this ice-cream! SO good. Their mint chocolate chip is delicious.

TJ bought last minute Beyonce tickets and we took my little sister to see the Queen B. Always a good time! If you're seeing her this summer, read this post about what to wear!

We ate more Mexican food in May than most people eat in a year. Find out which Mexican restaurants had the best queso and margaritas here.

Another day, another food truck. If you're in Raleigh, keep your eye out for this one!

Successful farmer's market visit! Fresh blooms and a cinnamon + white chocolate chip scone from La Farm!

Picked up the comfiest (and cutest!) lace-up flats around.
