Little Friday Nothings

I made cookie dough brownies for Evan’s very belated birthday treat. The only thing he asked me for were brownies for his birthday, and I failed. However, I think I made up for it, because they were absolutely amazing.

My obsession with pink continues. I want this dress, to throw a party with this table setting, this pillow, these pants, and this bag.

I am so excited that The Animal Print Shop finally decided to add a baby elephant to their collection. I just bought a new elephant painting (seen here) so I’ve got to figure out a place where I could put the elephant print before I buy it. I need a whole house to decorate otherwise I’m going to end up with 100 elephants in one room.

I have made a promise to myself that I will go to at least one movie in the park and at least one free concert at Millennium Park (they host them every Thursday night) this summer.

Big news! Evan and I have been searching for a french bulldog breeder the past couple days. I think we’ve finally found one we like and are just waiting for their next litter to be born in early July. I can’t wait for Crosby to have a little sister to play with soon! I already have a name picked out too (yes, I’m that girl).

St. Petersburg, Florida

Last week Evan and I flew down to St. Petersburg, Florida for a vacation and his cousin’s wedding. We stayed in one of the coolest hotels ever – the Vinoy. It was originally built in the 1920′s and most importantly it is pink. We had huge windows (mint green windows might I add) that overlooked the marina.

On our first night in Florida we walked to a park across the street that has a weekly movie in the park. It was so cute. There were vendor booths setup of food and lots of people came out to watch the movie and the band that played beforehand. The kettle corn was some of the best kettle corn I have ever had.

The wedding was also so much fun. I finally got to meet some more of Evan’s aunts, uncles and cousins. The band at the wedding was amazing too. They played everything from pop, r&b, country, and classic rock and really kept the party going all night. In the picture below you can see my “after” picture on my hair. I think it turned out great – loving the strawberry blonde ómbré. Although my hair was not happy with the Florida humidity all weekend. Frizz ball city.

And here is the rest of the weekend in pictures.

A New Do

I am getting my hair done this weekend and you have no idea how excited I am. I’m going for a lighter, summery look – a strawberry blonde ómbre. My hair color is pretty similar now, but I really want to get rid of the “highlighted” ómbre look my previous hair stylist did (or whatever it was). I want the drastic look Lauren has going on with richer strawberry roots that fade to blonde. Here’s another picture of LC’s amazing hair. I’m trying out a new stylist again, and I really hope she is as great as I’ve heard. Fingers crossed. I also need to get a few inches (2 max) cut off. Haven’t cut my hair since November so the ends are just absolutely horrendous right now. Stay tuned for the after pictures!

Little Friday Nothings

My arms are still shaking from this at home workout. Seriously, those upper body circuits are a killer. However, pair it with a super cute Nike top and you’re golden. Cute workout clothes always make me work harder.

Is anyone addicted to Nashville as much as I am? Finally, finally, finally – Rayna and Deacon are together (well, kind of).

I should never be allowed in Ulta ever again. It just sucks me in and makes me buy everything. And those coupons. Ugh. I need to stop pretending those are free money.

How cute is this Kate Spade crossbody (the black/ivory)? I want. I need. I. must. have. it.

This is the last weekend we have to enjoy before our wedding season starts. We have a few big plans like celebrating Evan’s birthday a little early. Sake bombing here we come!
