Blonde, Britney, Wine & Travel Plans!

Happy Hump day!!

Here is what I’ve been lovin’ on lately

1. My blonde appointment last week – what’s better than a fresh new head of highlights …need I say more?

2. Its Britney B*!$#

yep Ms. Spears is coming to H-town next month and me and two of my girlfriends got our tickets!!! Cannot wait!

I am really considering pulling a Bailey and dressing to the nine

4. Prosecco

yum. yum. and yum.

When it comes to wine, I usually stick to red but like I have bitched about stated numerous times it is so F-ing hott here that this cold Italian sparkling wine does the trick! Careful girls, this stuff goes down like water!

4. up and coming travel plans

BF sprung on me last week that he is whisking me away to CHI town in a couple of weeks for our 2 year anniversary and. I. am. so. freaking. excited!!!

Ever since we met he talked about how amazing it was, so we have always talked about going!

We are planning to do some of the must-see-do Chicagoy things of course, but I’d love to hear if any of you have any suggestions for what we should do while we’re there!

We are also planning on going to our good friends families timeshare in CABO! sometime either end of this year or early next.

It is so hard to focus on anything when you have future travel plans isn’t it??

5. Speaking “travel plans” I am moving this weekend!!!

Back in with my bestie!!

Can’t wait to decorate!

What have you been lovin’ lately?

A swimsuit, a poof and girls playing football

Hi loves! Sorry for the absence yesterday, I was still recovering from my busy weekend!!

Friday started off fabulous as I WON my first giveaway anything. Seriously. first. time. EVER. to win. anything. I won A Blonde Ambition’s giveaway for a $50 credit to Swim Spot! Woohoo!I am going to order up this lovely thang

Isn’t it gorg!? I am definitely a bandeau girl (I hate tan lines!!) and I love the ruffle detail! :)

Thanks, Leslie!!

Then I met up with some friends for happy hour night, but first I attempted (key word, attempted) Pink Lou Lou’s infamous POOF!

Notes for next time: Tease more than you think, use more hairspray than you think, add wine…

practice makes perfect, right??

Saturday was the Blondes vs. Brunettes Powderpuff football game benefitting the Alzheimer’s Association. What. a blast. The organization raised over $100,000!! It was my first time participating and I will definitely be doing it again.

I know they have it in Washington D.C., Austin, and Dallas so you should definitely check to see if they have it in your area and participate next year!

Not only was the game so fun, it was followed by an after party, with burgers, music & an afternoon of flip cup!

Go Blonde or go home.

Weekend Recap, birthday pics and random exciting thoughts!

AKA long random post with lots of pics! bare with me…

I had such a great weekend I think I was still recuperating yesterday! Thursday as you know, was Cinco de Mayo so naturally my friends I spent the night eating Mexican food and drinking ritas!!

Saturday I laid out in the sun – one of my favorite things to do! Then went to Painting with a Twist for the first time! If you have never been, you should definitely go sometime – you paint while enjoying food, wine & music. There is an instructor to help and guide you along… it was SO much more fun and enjoyable than I thought it would be. It is a great concept and a new and fun idea for any date, birthday or girls night out! My picture actually turned out so great that I gave it to my mom as one of her mother’s day gifts. she loved it!!

my painting!

the whole group

While I am sharing pictures I thought I’d share a few from my bestie and I’s birthday week – yes WE have a birthday week (our birthdays are 2 days apart so we celebrate both all week long!

The birthday girls!

Lychee Martini – YUM!

trying the lychee

Love this girl!! She is like another sister to me and we have so, so much fun together so there is nothing better than sharing my birthday with my best friend!!

In other random thoughts- I was watching E News last night and they featured Calypso for Target that I talked about HERE

Nina Garcia had her picks for the brand and chose not only the dress I featured but the shoes AND the tote as well! Pretty cool!

Another pretty cool thing that I stumbled upon was Shelli’s blog her home is AMAZING, I feel like it is exactly my style and she captured my heart when I noticed what a budget savvy woman she is! I have always believed not only great style but a great home can always be achieved on a budget and Shelli proves that so well!!

So you can imagine my excitement when I was looking drooling over her home tour and noticed this

it just so happens that the Urn lamps in her bedroom….

I own almost the exact same ones!

I have really developed a love and passion for decorating and home décor so it was really exciting when I discovered that I picked out something that someone whose decorating skills I admire so much, did as well! Makes me feel like maybe I do have a good eye for decor… :)

Any exciting things happen to you this week!?

Meg & Ryan Wedding recap: Part 2

I’m linking up to Semi Wordless Wednesday over at Flip Flops & Pearl’s because I don’t really think these pictures need any words! The wedding weekend was filled with so much love, laughter, family, friends, booze and happiness and you know what they say… a picture says a thousand words!

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. McConnell!!!

*more pictures to come once the professional ones are released*
