AHHH... FRIDAY

Oh Friday, I didn't think you would come soon enough! We have been SLAMMED at work lately and this week has exhausted me! The hubs was nice enough to make me dinner the other night and it.was.good. Russet potatoes, green beans and Salmon. Mmm....

My other meals this week have mostly consisted of soup because I was feeling a bit under the weather. On my soup run after work last night I came across this beauty at Earth Fare and decided that after passing it up on Wednesday that I had to try it out. Pumpkin Salsa!! I know it sounds a little strange, but it's worth a shot! Some ideas I have in store for this magic in a jar is on top of eggs, scooped up with traditional chips, scooped up with some sweet potato chips and lastly, plopping some on top of a sweet potato. We shall see. Earth Fare was selling some special pumpkin corn chips next to them as a match, but I passed on those. 

The hubs and I went to the UofL home opener for football on Sunday and man was it a scorcher! Holy Heck! A beer and lots of water got us through, ha! It was a great game though, and everyone in the stands were pumped up!

Some goodies from our local sports shop! 

The team coming out on to the field!

Love

Some other looks from the week: Victoria's Secret Pink top from the clearance rack (score), jean shorts from Forever21 from about three years ago and my awesome Birkenstock knock off's. They are so old I honestly can't even remember where I got them from! The great thing about jean shorts and these kind of sandals, in my opinion, is that the older they are the better looking and better fitting they get!

Girl's Dinner night! First week of every month we are setting aside one night to get together and take turns hosting dinner. It has been amazing so far! 

This Forever21 dress is about five years old and I.love.it. It has stood the test of time and is gorgeous! Added my Christina Link Bracelet to add just a touch of glam.

I used my CHI Waver for this look. Super easy and super cute! And luckily Ulta is having a 20% off promo right now, which can be used online too! It ends tomorrow so hurry up and take advantage of it if you are in need of any beauty products. They run this promo repeatedly, I just have no idea when the next one will be. Any bit helps when buying CHI products. I do love them to death, but they can be pricey!

What are your plans for this fabulous weekend?!

WEEKEND RECAP

Oh Sunday... always comes around too soon. Blah! Just waiting on all the snow to show up that we are expected to get! I do love me some snow although not so much when I have to go to work the next day, boo. So, the hubs was definitely a happy camper after UofL's blowout wins this weekend. My Missouri teams did not do so well.... oh well, can't win them all! Can't wait to cheer UofL on during the rest of the tournament! 

Recap of the weekend: 

Old Navy faux fur cardigan, Forever21 top, Lauren Conrad for Kohl's skinnies and heels and some Stella & Dot love.

Michael Kor's cardigan from TJ Maxx, Rock & Republic for Kohl's tank, Lauren Conrad for Kohl's skinnies, boot heels from Target and more Stella & Dot love.

Sparkly Bardot Spiral Bangle
Christina Link Bracelet

The Windsor Tassel Necklace is probably one of my absolute favorite Stella & Dot items I own. It is so beautiful and effortless. If you are debating on purchasing anything S&D, this is a great starter item and you will see the true craftsmanship that goes in to each of these pieces.

Eggs to go with dinner tonight.. Mmmm.. organic brown eggs, spinach, tomato, purple onion, feta, organic milk and pepper.

And lastly, a couple new purchases. A new flavor of the Natural Bliss creamer and a new lotion by St. Ives with natural ingredients. I figured that if I am going to lather my body in something every night it should probably be natural. Excited to try them out!

Going to finish watching the poison to my brain Kardashians and get some shut eye. 

Good Night!

MADNESS OF MARCH

Who's watching basketball this weekend!?! So excited for UofL's big game tonight! I am definitely rocking some red and black tonight: nails, shoes and shirt. Decided against my red lips because I thought that might be a little overwhelming! ha! Check out my look: target flannel top, Forever21 faux leather jacket, Rock & Republic for Kohl's faux leather pants, Mossimo for Target heels and some Stella&Dot love:

Yesterday the hubs and I hit up Earth Fare just to get some protein to go with dinner. We opted for these yummy chicken rolls. Mine was stuffed with spinach and feta, the hubs' had apple and cherry chunks. We got a couple other things too and since our total was over $10, we got two free pineapples!! Pretty sweet, huh?!

Now for some Polyvore love! Just some things I'm loving right now!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! We celebrated the hubs' bday weekend with a night out on Friday and dinner made by muah on Saturday with the in-laws. It was fab! Here's my weekend in pics! Now if only we could have made it to Paddy's Pub.. (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference.. anyone? anyone? great show)

Breakfast for the birthday boy on Friday morning was eggs with feta, milk, spinach and pepper paired with some coffee and toast with jam.

 

While he went to a half day at work, I prepared the German Chocolate Cake for his birthday dinner that we were having at the house Saturday. Mmmm.....

  

The frosting.... 

Finished product!

That night we went out to dinner at this very nice and super yummy Italian restaurant, Vincenzo's. It.was.good. Here is my look from the night. The fab bun maker, Cover Girl lips, Forever 21 sequined blazer, Rock & Republic for Kohl's top and faux leather pants and black heels by Candie's for Kohl's. Love!

Birthday boy!

The hubs was surprised by his assistant manager who made him birthday cupcakes and brought them to work for him. How sweet! And she did a great job. I would know because I had two one of them later that night...

Now on to the birthday meal on Saturday. Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, string beans and some swirled rye/pumpernickel bread. My mom gave me the deets on her recipes and I have to give myself a big pat on the back because it all turned out just like hers, or at least close to it!

Seasoned.

Ten hours of cooking in my new 16 quart electric roaster that I snagged at Target for a whopping $17, no joke! See, I'm the queen of steals for not only fashion but home good too! ha

Bam.

Next up is the cabbage. Ended up only using two of them. My mom was right, cabbage goes a long way!

Ready to be steamed on the stove top in some of the liquid from the electric roaster

Bam.

String Beans. Mmm.... onion, french cut green beans, sugar and salt. To die.

Yes, that yellow liquid at the bottom is butter... four sticks to be exact. Ha! Win some, lose some. Also tossed with some parsley.

And finally, the finished product!

Since we were at my house I didn't want to get super glammed up but still be cute. And I also had to be festive and rock some green! TJ Maxx cardigan and top, Forever 21 belt that I removed from one of my dresses and added here, Lauren Conrad for Kohl's skinny jeans and some Candie's for Kohl's leopard heels. Love!

Stella & Dot love! The colorful Contessa Jade is retired, sorry folks! But the Avalon Crescent Necklace is brand spankin new!

Another S&D piece that is new from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection is the Christina Link Bracelet. Not only is it a bracelet, but it also doubles as an extender for your necklaces. And when you pair it as an extender with an up do, you have a little bling bling for the back of your neck. Genius!! Stella & Dot, you've done it again!

And finally a little eyeshadow sassiness. Love.

Hope you had a fab St. Patrick's Day and a relaxing Sunday.
