Hello Friday

Hello sweater dress from Old Navy.  You could not be any more comfortable.

Hello Christmas cookie decorating.  My mom has made these same cookies since I was little and this year brought the cookies, frosting and everything over to our house to decorate.

(and hello to Lauren and I looking like we are 12 years old)

Hello amazing neighborhood Christmas lights that are set to music.  Thank you for putting me in a Christmas mood.  I will definitely be back this weekend.

Hello Vampire Diaries.  My new teen drama thanks to quite a few recommendations.

Hello weekend ahead that will hopefully be filled with some present wrapping, a niece's first dance recital and some good tv. 

Have a good weekend!

High Five for Friday

 shirt: gap  skirt: target  tights: kohls  boots: gojane scarf: giveaway from The Tiny Heart

1.  I think I'm getting better at this pattern mixing thing,

and I am loving my new boots!

2.  Friday I will be celebrating my birthday!

I'm looking forward to dinner at my parents on Friday night and going out to dinner with Chris on Saturday. And hopefully a few sweet presents too!

3 In my effort to feed my love for teen drama, I'm continuing to watch One Tree Hill, but also the new episodes of Gossip Girl and 90210.  Let's just say that my brain is getting a little confused with who is who and what relationship is what.  

But don't worry.  That hasn't stopped me from watching them all.  

4. When I ordered the boots that I'm wearing in this outfit, I also bought a pair of booties and although they fit and are cute, the heel is a little too high for me. 

Therefore instead of returning them, I figured I'd see if anyone wanted them first.

Let me know if you're interested!  

5. I didn't eat sweets or desserts for 6 days in a row this week.  That is an extreme accomplishment for me.

I was doing great until my mom brought over these fancy caramel apples.  

At least this is part fruit, right?

And I will definitely be eating some birthday dessert this weekend!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Teen Drama

dress: francesca's   boots: dsw  necklace: kohls

Lately my taste in tv shows aligns with an eighth grade girl.
This summer I watched
90210
Gossip Girl
and
Pretty Little Liars.

I felt overly sad when I finished them and thankfully recently found One Tree Hill.
I am already halfway through the second season.

And I'm looking forward to new episodes of 90210 and Gossip Girl to start.
Can anyone else relate to my teen drama love?

Want to know something that is probably more exciting than teen dramas?

Then check out these two fabulous blogs. 

First up is Katie.

Besides sharing a name, we also share a love for colored jeans, maxi dresses, good deals and finding new ways to wear clothes.  Although Katie is way better at refashioning her clothes and shares how she remixes her outfits weekly.  She can also relate to some compliment fails from her significant other.   And she can rock a top bun that makes me jealous.

And secondly we have Julee and Kim.

Kim and Julee make me wish I lived in Louisville because they started the D.I.Y. Lousiville group where ladies can get together to work on different projects.  Food, crafts, girls? Sounds like something I want to be a part of!  These ladies are pretty much professional DIYers and blog about projects they do, parties they plan and weekly fashion posts.

Luckily I can multitask and read these sweet blogs and watch my teen dramas at the same time.
