Owl Wednesday

Hello Lovelies,

uh.... nooo... sorry.

this isn't my idea of classy owl-y wearable clothing.

I do like the colors. 

but it's a little too whimsical for me ;-)

Cute little accessory for a house....

 not too "OH MY GOSH MY DOOR MAT IS OWL THEMED".

ya know.

Favorites Friday

5 pounds (lost)

:-D

yeah...

It kinda rocks.

except for the part of totally cutting out sugars... ahhhhh!

but really, it's kind of like when Cara went with out meat for a while... 

after a little bit, I don't crave it as much.

ON TO FAVORITES FRIDAY!

  These wedges caught my eye as soon as I scrolled down their page...

how can you NOT look at them? :-)

They're kinda fab, in a 50's sort of way.

 I'm loving the sweetness of the flat, the pointed toe, and the creamy color,

and then the rounded studs really make it more edgy. 

AMAZING!

A wedge, but kind of not... totally fab.

I didn't mean for today's FF blog to be all about shoes, but it would seem to me that that's what it's ended up being.

Oh well, I surely don't mind, because as you can see, I love shoes!

I almost bought a pair today, and my parents are actually encouraging me to buy some booties for the long winter treks, so I'll let you know if/when that happens!

Have a great weekend!

Favorites Friday in the New Year

Oh my pets,

This has been a semi-rough ending to this day, 

I'm all achy and stuff... yuch.

But I thought I would end it by posting an early edition of my old love: Favorites Friday!

I've found a new blog-crush!

 

You may remember this face... or really, you may remember THIS face:

I've discovered the real source of this picture, and it's from her blog called 

A Beautiful Mess

and boy is it ever.

She has tons of great hair/makeup ideas, outfits, and just beautiful pictures everywhere! 

So I highly recommend that you guys go check her out.

*ahem* Pinterest.

Need I say more? 

I have had my profile on there for about 1 1/2 weeks, and I'm loving all of the great things I can find...

actually, that's how I found "A Beautiful Mess".

Anyway... I have to call it a night, because I'm beat, and I have to work tomorrow.

but I love you all!

A New Decade

Today is:

My Birthday!

I like Birthdays. Don't you? 

I did have to work today and that was a new thing for me, 

the last three years I've been either in college or tutoring at college and in both cases I had

this time off for Christmas break still! (and I could specifically request that I *didn't* have to work on my B-Day)

Once I got home though, I had a nice time with my mom and a delicious dinner with German Chocolate Cake *dies*... later we played cards and chatted! It was just what I wanted it to be. 

I'm 20 now... in case you didn't get it... ;-)

Onto my "not really a diet" diet!

It's going well. I like it because it keeps me accountable and helps me feel okay about when I have a piece of cheese. 

Sure, that isn't the most effective way to loose weight, but I'm learning that just because I gave in and ate a little sugar, it doesn't mean that I'm lost and have to "start over" with my "diet".

I haven't weighed myself, and this is honestly hard. 

I am used to weighing myself every week or two, and now that I'm really trying to be conscious of what I eat, I'm especially curious about if I've lost anything.

Maybe for the first 2 months I'll "weight-in" every two weeks instead of 4, just to see if I'm being effective enough, or if I have to buckle down more. 

I'll know in two weeks if I've been making any progress or not. 

Pics to come? We'll see ;-)

For now, I have to go, because I have a busy few days ahead of me and I really should be asleep...
