Happy FRIDAY, friends!
Bahahaha! Because…yes.
I hope you have all had a wonderful week!
Thank you so so much for spending time with me here. You truly do not understand how much it means to me.
If you missed our first annual ELIN HILDERBRAND DAY yesterday, make sure you pop over there. I knew it would be a fun day…but you guys made it EXTRA fun! Now, all I want to do is start over and re-read all of her books from the beginning. And then watch another episode of The Five-Star Weekend 😉 .
I hope YOU have your own five-star weekend this weekend.
(And since it’s a summer Friday that means you can start that weekend now 🙂 . )
Okay, today, I have rounded out a few of my favorite things from the week and am sharing them with you PLUS, I’m announcing the winner of our giveaway too!
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a HAPPY WEEKEND!
Let’s start with the BIG ONE…
…this week, I hosted my ANNUAL #NSALE GIVEAWAY!
If you missed THAT POST, make sure you hop back over and check it out because I shared a few of my favorite finds from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like…
…and so much more!
Our giveaway ended yesterday which means today, I can announce our winner!
Congratulations ANGELA JORDAN! YOU WON THE $500 NORDSTROM GIFT CARD!
Angela, I emailed you this morning! Please email me back ASAP to claim your prize 🙂 .
Another Fave this week was on Monday when…
…Ashby, Mades, and I went to see the live action Moana in the theater!
You guys, we are BIG Moana people! BIG.
Can we just take a moment to relive this Halloween costume…
…I mean have you EVER seen a cuter Moana?!
Needless to say, we have been counting down to the live action movie. Nantucket has one movie theater with two screens inside, so movie options are a little limited. It’s super small town and very quaint.
When we showed up on Monday, we went to the concession stand and bought our popcorn and drinks. I asked the guy behind the counter if he needed to scan my tickets and he said, “Nope, you’re the Shulls, right?”. Um, yes. Yes, we are.
How did he know this?
Because…
…we were the only ones who had tickets. Hahahaha! You guys, we had our own private screening of Moana. So fancy, right? Ha! It actually made watching the movie extra fun because we could really laugh, chat about things we loved, etc as it went on.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this might just be my favorite of the Disney live action movies. It’s just really, really cute! The Rock is AMAZING in it. Every time he opened his mouth, it was funny.
Two big thumbs up!
Currently in my dress era…
…a DRESS WITH SEASHELLS? Yes, please!
They’re embroidered on the dress. So pretty, right?!
Also…
…how beautiful is THIS NAVY & SKY BLUE DRESS?! My earrings are HERE.
So, so pretty!
And I wore this earlier this week to run errands and felt oh so pulled together…
…A TEE SHIRT DRESS 🙂 . It comes in solids too, but I loved the stripe! I bought all three in XS.
When I saw…
…THIS TENNIS SKIRT, it was a “must” 🙂 .
You know how much I love a tennis skirt. But a tennis skirt that’s blue and white WITH WHALES?! So cute! I wore it with my GAUZE TOP (of course!).
A little around town is always a Fave…
…I wish I could stay all fall and capture these places in their fall glory too.
On Monday night, we “re-visited” a restaurant out in Sconset that we hadn’t been to in two years (they were closed all last year)…
…The Summer House and by the time we had left, all six Shulls voted it the best meal we’ve had all season (and we have had A LOT of good meals!).
So many things make The Summer House original but one of them is the views. We had a table on the porch which meant…
…gorgeous ocean views!
Here’s a pic of that side of the table…
…and one of this side.
The Summer House was a buzz of people, live piano music, dining indoors and out…it was all very festive especially for a Monday night.
I had the seafood risotto, and it was absolutely delicious! Best. Meal. Of. The. Summer.
Ashby had the risotto as well, Kensington had the chowder, Mades had the bolognese, Smith and Andrew each had a fish dish…we all loved everything.
Blurry, silly, happy smiles on our way back to the car.
An evening snap of the front of the restaurant. Isn’t it lovely?
I don’t typically make restaurants Friday Faves, but this was an exceptional evening, so I wanted to share. If you are able to make a reservation, I highly recommend it. You will need to take a cab/Uber to and from town, but it will be worth it…
Walking back to the car with a full stomach and happy heart.
Don’t forget, you can see a complete list of my favorite Nantucket Restaurants HERE.
And finally…
It’s time for my annual round up of SUMMER CORN RECIPES!
From good old cornbread to pastas, tacos, burgers and more, there is a corn recipe in here for everyone 🙂 .
Thank you for being here this week with me. I’m excited to see you all back here tomorrow too.
Enjoy your summer Friday! xx
