Weekend Snapshot

Life has certainly been busy lately.  I feel like if I can make it through the next 10 days, I can do anything.  But until then, it will be lack of sleep and lots of chai tea and green tea. 

In the midst of a stressful month, why not wear some of my favorite necklaces to put a smile on my face in the morning? Yes, necklaces really do make me happy. End of discussion. And I really do listen to Call Me Maybe every morning now and do a little dance while getting ready.  Judge away.

This week and weekend I brought out some statement pieces and layered baubles because, well, the more the merrier.

 I now have a new favorite combination: chambray + cozy knit (& Spike the Punch, of course)

And any weekend where pico de gallo is involved is A okay in my book.  I had left overs from Friday night's dinner with Boyfriend B and naturally had to make some nachos come Saturday. 

I also managed to do 6 loads of laundry and bake 48 muffins on Saturday AND got to meet Julia for brunch on Sunday.  We had a blast, and I got a nice little tour of her home town.  She was just as sweet and fun as expected. It was a perfect start to my Sunday.

How was your weekend?

Enjoy the brighter days to come!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY WEEK!!!

My Comfort Zone

I had the pleasure of working with a fabulous photographer/friend, Sarah, when I was home a few weekends ago.  And thanks to her, I can now bring you you my first outfit post. 

Let's just say my go-to look involves legging jeans/denim, boots, and oversized anything (blouses, sweaters, old t-shirts, you get the picture).  I like feeling comfortable and confident all in one.  I was going to try something different for my first outfit post, but thought I would show you what a "typical" outfit is for me and stay true to my style.

[it was windy. can you tell?]

Jacket: BR (old),  Top: Gap Oversized Pocket Shirt Necklaces: Nordstrom Chain Necklace (old), Mae Badiyan Vaida Necklace, Jewelry: David Yurman rings and BR earrings, Bag: Target (old), DV by Dolce Vita Zela Boots, Ray Ban Sunglasses, Essie Mink Muffs

I would also swap the boots for my TB Reva flats if there wasn't snow on the ground.  I used to be a heels girl but flats have become my new best friends.

I can't thank you enough, Sarah! You can find some of her work here. Her brother, one of my best friends, is working on a website for her that will hopefully be up soon (wink, wink, nod, nod J).

How were all of your weekends?
