Last week we had our biannual clean-up day at work where we get to wear jeans, clean and have a pizza party. It's always one of my favorite days. {tassel necklace by favorite Raleigh brand @bohobeads}
I kicked off Friday morning with a stop by my favorite spot, Thanks a Latte in Holly Springs. Their iced chai tea latte is the best. {pineapple bangle by bourbon & boweties via Thanks a Latte}
By night, we tried Totopos in Cary. It's delicious, authentic, Mexico City-style Mexican, and I loved it so much. It's only been open nine months, and they're opening a second location, Viva El Hefe, in Morrisville soon, so yum to that.
Sunday we churched it out, brunched at The Morning Times in downtown Raleigh and then cleaned the afternoon away... Living room looking fresh, above.
Last week was also BOGO Tory Burch at Monkee's in Chapel Hill (!!!) where I scored these hot pink flats, below. They got their debut wear at summer soiree at The Bradford in New Hill.

We have food truck Fridays in our neighborhood where every Friday evening a different food truck comes to our pool. This past Friday was Stuft. It's baked potatoes with different toppings like buffalo chicken for example. Their jalapeño habanero bullets were what I'd recommend. Then we went to The Glass Jug in Durham for brews; then the new Brixx by our house for pizza for Hank. Then it was back to our casa to crank out some episodes of Game of Thrones (we're finishing up season two now).
On Saturday morning we were off to The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary for massages.
We played in the spa areas like this current pool, above. We got massages, and I know I used allllll their wonderful products after for my shower and getting ready.
We sat poolside. Took a stroll around their pond. Then it was off to their restaurant, Herons, for brunch on eggs, omelets and all that goodness. It felt like a mini vacation.
Saturday afternoon we stopped by downtown Cary for a quick lap before letting our friend's dogs out. Then it was back home for some pool action.

That night I had to check out CineBowl in Cary, and it is awesome. I'm talking leather seats that recline electronically, reserved seating, lots of space, dinner brought to you. It truly brings the magic back to the cinema. It's only $8 on Tuesdays (compared to the $16 price on that Sunday night).
Today I enjoyed shrimp pad thai for lunch at Elements in Chapel Hill. I highly recommend. I love exploring my city and trying new happs and restaurants and am excited that four of the above were new to me. Here we go, week.
