Best Memorial Day Weekend Sales 2026.

      Some of the best sales of spring are here once again! I always enjoy keeping tabs on which of my favorite brands and retailers are having good sales for Memorial Day Weekend. This year's round-up is below! 

     This year I also made sure to note which sales are better than the ones from last year. It is nice to see some brands raising their discounts and promotions this time around! Here is my 2026 Memorial Day sales guide:

What to Wear to Megan Moroney's Cloud 9 Tour ☁️

      I'm excited to soon attend Megan Moroney's first-ever arena tour: The Cloud 9 Tour! Megan is one of my favorite country artists- I love everything about her whole vibe, style and aesthetic. She also writes amazing song lyrics! I've been a fan of Megan since first she came on the country music scene a few years ago. Her first hit single "Tennessee Orange" started gaining popularity during my first year working in country radio, and I've loved following the rise of her career ever since. Even though I don't work in country radio anymore, I've stayed a fan of Megan. 

     I'll be attending one of the early Cloud 9 tour dates next month, and I'm so excited. I love putting together cute concert outfits, but especially so when the artist has great style themselves, and that's definitely the case for Megan. I wanted to share some outfit inspiration to anyone else attending Megan Moroney's Cloud 9 tour. I wrote a similar blog post last year with outfit inspiration for her Am I Okay? Tour that was so much fun to put together, so I wanted to repeat for this year!

How to See the Cherry Blossoms in Washington DC at Peak Bloom 🌸

       Last spring, I got to finally cross-off a major East Coast travel bucket list item: seeing the Washington DC cherry blossoms at peak bloom! Seeing the cherry blossoms at their finest was absolutely incredible, and I think it absolutely worth the hype. The official peak bloom prediction from the National Park Service has been announced for this year, so I thought this was a great time to recap last year's cherry blossom viewing adventure, and share my tips for how to best enjoy peak bloom!
