GAME DAY!

Hey y'all,

It is the day most of us in the South have been waiting for, the first football game of the season! While I am a fan of Saturday games, the coveted Thursday night game means tonight's showing between the Carolinas will be very interesting. I know we are not predicted to win but I am excited to see the new players and cheer on my alma mater. While I am not at the game, I thought I would put together a look I would love to rock if I was in Columbia.

Who are you cheering for? Are you excited for College Football to start?

Also, you should check out this poem about the Carolina posted today on the Daily Tar Heel.

Christmas in July.

Hey y'all,

It seems like I disappear during the week and appear back Thursday/Friday. I apologize but last week I got a cold/flu thing and was out of work and mostly slept all day Tuesday. So no fun. I am back to feeling better and as promised, I will share my Christmas list as it is right now. Last year I posted my list about the same time in July and it is strange to go back and read it since it was before I had moved out of my parent's house. Looking back I actually have bought or gotten most of the items from birthday presents or treats to myself from great deals. This year's list is mainly focused on entertainment since the last time I looked at my movie selection I was kind of lacking options. Also, now that I have my own job and place I would rather outfit it with my own cash and make Christmas filled with fun things I want versus things I necessarily need. 

I wouldn't mind finding the following movies under the tree:

Pitch Perfect

Coyote Ugly

Rise of the Guardians

August Rush

Two Weeks Notice

The Prince of Egypt

The Lizzie McGuire Movie

The Lorax

How to Train Your Dragon
The Big Bang Theory Seasons 1-6
Scandal Seasons 1& 2
Castle Seasons 3 & 4
Rizzoli & Isles Seasons 1-3

For my apartment I am in need of a nice vacuum and I don't want to splurge on myself so I am currently eyeing the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Bagless Upright Vacuum.

Another Patagonia Re-Tool Snap-T is on the list since I am obsessed with mine. Since I have a berry colored one I am looking at all the nice blue/purple/green jewel colored ones.

Intertwined Large Monogram Sweatshirt

I love sweatshirts for casual wear around the house and would love this one in a navy color with a white monogram.

Dooney & Bourke "Triple Zip" Nylon Crossbody Bag

For when I am running errands and don't want to carry around everything....

I also have pjs on the list since I think you should always get pjs for Christmas as well as I am looking for some light brown colored riding boots since I love my dark brown pair. 

Stocking Stuffers

Embroidered Whale Preppy Chevron Keychain Finger Key Fob

Tervis Molly Z Pink Mum 24ounce Water Bottle Tumbler

Gift Cards to:
LOFT
J.Crew
Banana Republic
GAP
Barnes & Noble
Target
Old Navy
T.J. Maxx/Marshalls/Homegoods

I am sure my list might change a bit here and there but that is the bulk of what I currently am asking Santa for this year....

Hey y'all,

I did not expect to post this much this week with Kids Week every night along with work meaning I am pretty much non-stop from 7am-9pm. However, there are just a few things I thought I would share for you about things that I am currently loving....

...all your comments on my bedding dilemma  I think I am going to hope the Jonathan Adler or Kate Spade sets go on sale but who knows what I will end up with when I move in a little over five weeks!

...this video


...I ordered a monogram Tervis waterbottle tumbler from Crystal Faye yesterday! I can't wait for it to arrive!

...today=Mexican Fiesta potluck at work. I love getting to spend some more time with my co-workers. I mean last night, me and eCs were discussing the need to write a script for a book, become actors in it and become famous. You know, normal conversations. 

....that I am pretty sure I have made my decision on planner for 2014 between the Luxe Lilly and the EC Life Planner and I am thinking EC. Now it's just deciding between these two images (from the UNC GAA) for my next EC Life Planner. I got the inspiration from this pin:

....this print (it also comes in gray and navy) that I need for my bedroom.

....meeting the sweet Allison this week, FINALLY!

...Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover has really helped in the budgeting problem I have and I have already made my July and August budgets so lets hope I can stick to it! 

What are you loving this week?

PS. Any of y'all in the Triangle area that love your gym? I am debating about campus vs off campus gym due to my work hours and I really would love some fun classes to keep me motivated!
