Love&Loathe Mondays: the First Edition!

The Outfit: 

Vest: F21, Shoes: Ross, Skirt: Lane Bryant, Shirt: Ross, Headband: Claires

Yes, I’m starting with the loathing instead of the loving, because I would rather end things on a fabulous note.  Wouldn’t you?  Yeah that’s what I thought!  Alright, are we ready?  Can you handle this piece of awesomeness I’m about hand you?!

Loathe:

• ·       The way Monday flies in with no mercy, and no understanding of how rough your weekend may have been.
• ·       When you go to answer the phone and it either A: falls to the desk with a crash (oh the poor ears of the person on the other end!) or B: smacks into your face like you just sassed your mom in 4^th grade.
• ·       The fact that I am pretty sure that the INSIDE of my car is colder than it is outside in the mornings
• ·       My lack of drive for Monday night homework… wouldn’t it be nice if I wanted to attack my homework the way a guy wants to attack pizza and Monday night football?
• ·       When I get an assignment that has me completely baffled beyond belief.
• ·       When I fall down the stairs … although every time I do this I do it so gracefully...don’t ask me how, I just do!

Love: 

• ·       The way the sun peeks over the mountains on my drive in to work. Surrounded by the slight haze of winter, it’s actually beautiful.
• ·       A pot of FRESH & HOT coffee ready and patiently waiting for me to stumble upon it after I wake up.  I can practically hear it calling my name….then again I did just wake up and am slightly delusional from the wakeup call that is Monday.  
• ·       Knowing that even though I may have “fat days” or bad hair, I can always count on my power heels to give me that extra boost of confidence I need to get through the day.
• ·       Gossip Girl – I have a date tonight, me, my couch, and the juicy scandal that I never actually want in my own life.  Although I wouldn’t mind if Ed Westwick was… (That’s Chuck Bass for those of you who didn’t know)-- Oh and by the way GG was awesome tonight! 
• ·       My Indie playlist, which includes selections from but is not limited to: Mumford & Sons, Imogen Heap,  Ferraby Lionheart, and The Weepies.  Nothing soothes the nerves better than people that can actually sing.
• ·       When my hair gets curled the night before by a wonderful sister, and when I don’t have to do it the next morning.
• ·       Having Windex fights with my sister.  Yeah that’s right, we do that! Don’t judge!
• ·       Homemade chili and biscuits.

And this is a special post because I got to see my beautiful Jessica today and she also took the pictures for me today! Thanks love! So here is a little extra loveliness that you get to enjoy!

Isn't she gorgeous? 

Until next time...Loves&Hugs ... MWaH!

The View from My Window

Obviously these pictures are not of the fashion variety, but since weather is a key ingredient in how we dress I thought I'd show you the view from my front porch looking out.  Although these pictures show you the beautiful views I am accustomed to what they don't show however, is how FREAKING cold it has been!  I cannot count how many mornings I have gotten dressed in an outfit to DIE for only to find that it snowed over night.  My 4-inch heels are not ideal to walk through a foot of snow... Yes, my dears, I am the QUEEN of dressing weather-inapropriately.  Many a snowy day I have dared to don short skirts and shorts.  How do I make them "appropriate" for the frigid weather?  A pair of patterned tights and some thigh high leg warmers of course! (hey don't judge!)  Amazingly enough this little trick actually does work! 

Until next time... Loves&Hugs...MWaH!

Friday Nights Without the Fancy Lights

Behind the Outfit:

Blazer: Thrifted at Pibs Exchange

Jeans: Target

T-shirt: Torrid

Shoes: Ross

Accessories: Necklace-Pibs Exchange, Rings-Charlotte Russe

Friday nights for me are usually mix of preset plans, my sisters, and of course-- a KILLER outfit.  
This Friday night in particular started out with high hopes of adventure and excitement... as much as can be expected to happen for two girls. Unfortunately, after an hour of searching for our place of destination: the Downtown Hookah Lounge we gave up and went bowling. And although my aim with the bowling ball was seriously lacking the night spurned a few laughs and slow driving through the snow.
Maybe Saturday night will produce more adventure ...?


Until next time Love&Hugs ...MWaH!

Introducing...

Welcome to my Blog! This is an accounting of my life and random thoughts and views on everything from fashion, to coffee, to school, and the weather.  I don't claim to know it all... I just know most (ha JK).  Mainly I am using this as a creative outlet for me to just get my thoughts out THERE... whatever they happen to be!
I am hoping this will be a learning experience, for me and maybe for you!  I like comments, I love questions, I appreciate constructive criticism. Feel free to contribute!
I am planning to do Love&Loathe Mondays, so be sure to stay tuned for those, they will most likely be served very boring with a side of sarcasm and a dash of entertainment!

Until next time... Loves&Hugs... MWaH!
