Arkansas Girls Weekend

Welcome Back Babes!

I hope that you all are having a great start to your week!:)

If you followed me along Instagram this past weekend, then you know that I spent the past few days in Fayetteville, Arkansas for a girls trip with two of my best girlfriends from high school.

My friend Tera (the one to the left of me in the one above), is a Fox News Sports Reporter for the University of Arkansas. She’s been there for about a year now and I had still not yet gone to see her, so we planned this trip! To see her life and meet her friends in this new town!

I’m not going to lie, before Tera moved there, never in a million years would I have thought to go to Arkansas for a weekend getaway but ya’ll, it was SO gorgeous. Like the whole area was shockingly pretty. They had the cutest little towns, a million trendy shops and restaurants and like I’ve already mentioned, the prettiest views!!

Friday morning, we woke up early to head to Eureka for the day!

It’s about an hour away but the views were absolutely GORGEOUS! It’s is a small little town, located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains.

Their hilly down-town area is just absolutely adorable with a lot of shops, restaurants, and trolly system that takes you around the town.

Lunch on the patio at the Local Flavor Cafe!

Pro tip – Order the house made Sangria (it was amazing), the baked Brie and the Smoked Salmon!

After lunch, we hoped on the trolly and made our way to The 1886 Crescent Hotel for a Ghost Tour!

Sadly, once we got there, we found out the next tour wouldn’t be until later that night, but we still explored the hotel, looked for ghosts (spoooooooky) and talked to workers about the hotels before heading to their rooftop bar that has the most amazing views of the Ozarks!

This is the picture I took but it honestly doesn’t do it justice!

The next day we explored Fayetteville, Tera gave us a tour of her station and had Saturday morning brunch at Arsaga’s!

How adorable were these little picnic tables??

Before heading to Fayetteville, everyone in the world told us we had to go to the Farmers Market and I was dying to go to the RiffRaff Boutique while we were there, so that’s exactly what we did!

That afternoon, after a quick regroup and outfit change, we made our way to SassaFras Winery!

Low Quality – Kinda Blurry Photo but High-Quality People 🙂

Sunday’s (very hungover) travel look – lol

On our way to the airport, we stopped in Bentonville for breakfast but completely forgot to take any photos! Next time I go up to visit her, I want to go back though and have more time to explore there because it was absolutely adorable and surprisingly super trendy!

Plus, is it weird that I want to go to the Walmart Museum? lol

Any ways, that was our trip! The weekend flew by but it was an amazing trip with some of the best friends a girl could ask for.

Thank you, Tera, for being the most amazing host! Love you!
