In my never-ending quest to perfect the 5-minute face, I have to admit that liquid eyeliner was never a featured player.  Too much concentration, steady hands, and gosh darn patience involved...not to mention factoring in starting over after a complete catastrophe.  Lately, as the "cat eye" and the well-defined "dough eye" have taken center stage, it seems that some popular brands have made it a bit easier for us glam gals to put the professional touch on our look without breaking the bank.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.  I just saw this necklace via a store here in the Raleigh, NC area that I follow on Facebook.  It is called Swoon Boutique--thought I would share.  This is a MUST HAVE!

And at $42.00, this is a no-brainer!

So what exactly is a weekend a wife, you ask?

The traditional definition is a woman whose spouse travels for work so she only sees them on the weekend.  Our definition is a little modified.  A Weekend Wife is a working woman who may not have the time to get a well-balanced meal on the table Monday-Friday, but come the weekend, watch out--she is on her A-game!  She is style-focused, cooks a mean meal and knows how to pull it all together.  Our Weekend Wife may or may not have a ring on her finger, but she is a dish of equal parts ambition and domesticity, garnished with style and sprig of sass.

This blog is our opportunity to provide a look into what it is like for us to be Weekend Wives--what we love and can't live without, our elements of style, and our two cents.  Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Sarah
I am a thirty-something single gal from Raleigh, NC with a big city sense of style.  I value all of the traditional comforts of home with a modern twist.  I am goofy, genuine and tall (it's my signature adjective).  Megan and I bonded years ago over our mutual appreciation of jewelry and the rest is history.  We both have a lot to say and we are in agreement that life has been our best teacher.  We couldn't have stumbled upon a more creative outlet for ourselves, and we suspect there will be something here for the working wife, the stay-at-home wife, the aspiring wife and the former wife.

Megan
I am a wife, a Mommy to an amazingly awesome little lady, a business owner and lover of all things chic, sophisticated and family focused.  I am brutally honest and LOVE authenticity.  I have known my good friend Sarah for years and adore her.  After constantly liking and re-pinning each other on Pinterest and having tons of shared style passions, we decided to embark on this blogging journey.  Thanks for joining us and we look forward to getting to know you!

We are working on launching Weekend Wives and hope to get started right after Memorial Day.  Thanks for checking it out and come on back soon!
