Fab Five Friday

In lieu of my birthday being next week (eeep!), I thought I would list five things I want. Now, this isn't to say that this is all I want. Ah, the material world. Please scroll on down to see what this little girl loves.

Polka Rounds Clutch

Abby Gold Flats

Red Original Hunter Wellies

Chunky Knit Cowl

Yellow Toggle Coat



Longchamps Le Pliage Tote

Steve Madden Leopard Flats





High Heel Loafers

Ooops, was that more than five...

I think I have a thing for shoes right now. 

Two Reasons

Here are two reasons why I love watching tv talent shows.

Daily Threads: Horses

H&M blouse, F21 trench, UO pumps, DIY necklace

It felt nice to get out and take some outfit photos today (as I haven't done it in quite some time - oops.). It was a gloomy day today - rainy, dark, muggy, blah. The kind of day that makes you want to stay in bed. Yeah, that would have been nice. Instead I worked, and then changed into something cute - opposed to collapsing on the couch and taking a nap. Go me!

Side note #1: I wanted this jacket like whoa (yeah, I said it) a while back, but it sold out online in no time. I walked into the store this weekend and there were tons! Just in case you were bummed out that the link lead you nowhere. 

Side note#2: The necklace I am wearing was a DIY I put together for Every Body Every Wear. It's pretty simple, so you should try it. I've worn this thing non-stop. 

Over the Weekend

As mentioned in my previous post, I headed up to the NC mountains this past weekend to visit and celebrate with my friends! Here are a couple photos from the weekend. 

Our view from the hotel. This view never gets boring. I was incredibly happy to be there - the scenery is gorgeous and the air is so fresh. 

Saturday we ventured up to Barber Orchard for some apples! I walked away with a peck of Galas (I'm going to attempt my first apple pie!), an apple cake, apple cider, apple butter, and hot mexican salsa (the best salsa around - if you like it hot). 

 The reason we all got together this weekend was to celebrate those two ladies in the middle - Nicole and Donna! (Congrats, friends!) The ceremony was outside on a farm and it was a gorgeous day! Above is about half of our grad school class! 

Then the gang got together for another shot. 

The night ended with everyone gathered around the fire just hanging out and listening to the musicians play songs like Wagon Wheel on their guitars and violins. At some point in the night I looked up and the view was amazing. The only light around was the fire and the sky was clear - I saw millions of stars. It was a perfect night. 

On a different note - congrats to Heather! You won the Chipolle earrings!

Heading to North Carolina

This weekend I am heading up to the mountains of North Carolina. I was considerate of all of you as I refrained from typing that first sentence in all caps. I am beyond excited to a.) be in the beautiful NC mountains - enjoying the scenery and inhaling the air and b.) being re-united with all my friends! We are getting together for what's going to be a gorgeous, outside wedding! 

I'm not going to be seeing all of our friends from grad school (bummer), but most of them! In particular, it's the six of us getting back together! We were all NSSLHA officers for our program - and between classes, meetings, and events it was often the five of us! I love it and I miss it. Here are some pictures of us. Hope you all enjoy your weekend as much as I plan on enjoying mine! 

No, we did not plan to coordinate. We are just awesome. 

Michael was such a champ for dealing with nothing but women.
