Friday Pins!

This weeks pins are all about pretty summer drinks. 

A White Sangria - White wine, peaches, nectarines, oranges, and strawberries

Red Head In Bed -- blend of strawberries, sugar, citrus vodka, lime juice &riesling. have to try this!

Strawberry puree and champagne! mmmm

This is hilarious and I for sure need to purchase it.  Reminds me of one of my favorite things to do with Jeff, sit on the patio, forget the world and drink a beer.

Mango Cucumber Wine Cooler - Mango, Cucumber, Sauvignon Blanc, Gingerale & mint.

Which one do you suggest I try out this weekend?

Happy Friday friends & Cheers to a great weekend!

A weekend in Indy...

Our future home.

Our  Future  Home

It is now starting to get incredibly real that Jeff and I will be moving in together in the next month.  We will be leaving the comforts of our parents, of school, of Illinois.  

So we spent the weekend in Indy and had a really great time.  I had an interview on Saturday...which will hopefully bring a big announcement later this week!  We apartment hunted, which was a HUGE bust and will lead us back to Indy this weekend for apartment hunting part 2. We had an incredibly nice dinner downtown; followed by a great evening in the city with the man of my dreams.  We went to an Indianapolis Indians game, drank a couple beers and had a great time.  Went to a couple down town bars and sat and talked for a long time about what is to come the next few months.  I am so excited to start this life of mine, to get out on my own and have a career and a future; but I mostly excited about spending that future with this guy. 

Alright but enough with the mushy. 

Guess what, I TOOK SOME PICTURES this weekend!  I mean, I only took a few and I didn't have my camera so they are phone pics.  But still, people this is progress! 

A lovely dinner at St.Elmo's! 

At the Indians game...and look what we can also see...LUCAS OIL! 

We ended up moving to that section across the field that is empty...it was much nicer than being crammed next to a family that was kind of rude. 

The view from our new seats and look that's our hotel! 

One of my drinks from the night.  A white sangria.  It was lovely and refreshing, but lacking in white wine and size.  I am for sure going to make my own sometime very soon. Recipe....White Wine (I had this one made with a sauvignon blanc.), peach juice, sprite.  I want to make it with all the same but add some pears, apples, grapes and strawberries...a sangria needs to have fruit!  And a lemon and orange wedge don't count! 

And the delicious water in the lobby...every day it is a new flavor.  The day we checked out it was honeydew and cantaloupe!  And it seriously is the most wonderful tasting thing ever!  

Happy Happy Monday to everyone. 

TGIF Pins

FRIDAY?!?

It is just me or did this week go by kind of fast?  I can't believe it's already Friday.  I have some good pins this week.  It's all about being girly and fabulous this week. I am currently wishing I had more money to spend on lovely little things. 

But before that...I am ssoo excited for the weekend to be here, maybe that's why the week went so fast?  Since North Carolina isn't happening this year Jeff and I are moving to Indy; and tomorrow we are going apartment hunting, out to dinner with my grandma here (YEAH, be jealous!) and then out downtown.  I am also excited because we got a great deal at a great downtown hotel.  So guess you could say I am excited... I am excited to hopefully find a place to live and also spend some quality time with Jeff. Our schedules are so opposite that we spend less than an hour a day together :(   But it could be worse, so for that I am thankful.  

Alright...alright...I'm done.  Here are the Pins! Happy Friday Friends.  &Thank you so much for reading.  

I love Barbie. 

This fall I am going to invest in a great pair of riding boots like these. 

Lovely little bows

And pretty poppies to finish us off.

Happy Friday and Happy Pinning! 

Guilty Pleasure

I was watching How I Met Your Mother - a favorite show of mine - the other night.  Ted was going to Love Solutions to hopefully find his soul mate.  He discovered that he and an engaged woman had a great love score and they shared the same guilty pleasure song.
That got me thinking...I have the WORST guilty pleasure songs... included are;
 Wilson Phillips - Hold On For One More Day
 Spice Girls - Wannabe  (YES, I will forever and ever be a fan of the Spice Girls...like I say, Spice for Life)
 Jewel - You Were Meant For Me. (A good ballad is good for the soul.)

Looks like I am stuck in the 90's and early 2000's. I am.  Absolutely. 100%.

What are your guilty pleasure songs?



What I wore Tuesday

What did YOU wear today?  It was ssooo hot and muggy today that I really did not want to get dressed or leave the house today; unfortunately I had to go to work, so this had to do.  But I did wear my hair up off my neck, so that helped some.

I was literally outside for one minute while we took this picture and look at my face, glistening...and not in a good way! YUCK!  I love the heat, but this is a little much.

Oddly enough everything today is from NY&Co.  Pants, top, cardigan, even my camisole   :)  

NY&Co is truly my favorite store. <3 

Happy Tuesday all. 

Hp7...all the rage

I will admit, I am not on the Harry Potter band wagon.  Never have been.  I am one of the select few that has not read any of the books or seen any of the movies.  I know, shocking right?  But with HP7 breaking records...ummm how can people be more crazy about this movie than The Dark Knight?  But I guess they are.
So should I make a Harry Potter weekend and watch them all and then go see the new one?  Fantasy and wizardly stuff doesn't appeal to me much, but I guess this has to be good.
Thoughts?

Happy Monday!
