Who is already obsessed with this seasons Bachelor??? This girl is no doubt! Some of my favorite things about the show, besides laughing at all the crazy girls, is seeing all the cute outfits, different personalities, and all the fun adventures that go on. I have a feeling this will be a fun, yet entertaining season. <br />

Even though some of the girls are just absolutely redic on the show, I do remember feeling exactly how they just described. And no I don't mean crazy either. There are so many beautiful women with different careers, different cities, but all with one thing missing in their lives....LOVE. Maybe I'm more sensitive to this now that I've found the love of my life but I cant help but feel their pain. I so remember wondering why I couldn't find the "One", why I wasn't pretty enough, & what was I missing that every other woman had? Just listening to the women on TV tonight sound so desperate, but sadly every single woman at one time or another wonder these things. Whether we are 21, 26, or 32, every one of us long to be loved, a wife, and a mommy at some point. That dream never goes away.....So with that said, I hope each and every one of those women find the love that I have found. <br />

For some crazy reason, I signed up for the 1/2 marathon relay. Now that its all over with I can say I’m glad I participated but if you were to ask me during mile  10 I would’ve said different. We enjoyed the weekend with lots of good food, sight seeing, shopping, and of course some running. </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Nr7vx5W7Rng/UKlkmCOv4pI/AAAAAAAAA6E/WzpTGUdqO5E/s1600-h/68450_10100314628573998_1920714847_n%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="68450_10100314628573998_1920714847_n" border="0" alt="68450_10100314628573998_1920714847_n" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_rgREh6KyPM/UKlkmsgDoGI/AAAAAAAAA6M/m0L3ucK-8Mw/68450_10100314628573998_1920714847_n_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="183" height="244" /></a>                                                  <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-qi0rK2PaGpA/UKlknZvM1lI/AAAAAAAAA6U/xG7RQeS2Bj8/s1600-h/sa%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="sa" border="0" alt="sa" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SeU6X7rUUiM/UKlkn9ww9BI/AAAAAAAAA6c/JcL1PKopuZg/sa_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="183" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Because I did finish the race, Reid took me to dinner at the Towers of America which over looked San Antonio!

There was no question about whether we were going to detour or not….of course we did! And at that point, I knew Reid was a keeper. He made me the happiest girl ever!

I’m now spitting out stats and names of players like a pro! </p> <p>My fiance basically drug me out of bed to get dressed and get ready to meet his friends and some family for lunch and to watch football that started at 11 am. Really??? I honestly didn’t mind a bit because it was some friends that we don’t get to see a lot so it was def fun times. Some of the girls and I even left for a bit to shop at Ulta. Win Win for everyone! Later that afternoon we headed out to tailgate for the Texas A&M v. La Tech game that was played in our very own Shreveport, LA. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7IoljTphDiA/UHwuoDzxfcI/AAAAAAAAA4M/25iYtwM0dB0/s1600-h/game%2525203%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="game 3" border="0" alt="game 3" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_GgmwLPdgEo/UHwuoxJO1RI/AAAAAAAAA4U/RKAARt-B4nI/game%2525203_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244" /></a></p> <p>We tailgated with friends, co workers, and I even met a new blog friend. I met the sweetest lady through Reid’s co worker & we hit it off immediately. Somehow we got to talking about blogs and we read a lot of the same ones. Now we are followers of each other. Its so neat because I’ve never met an actual blog friend.

I need a lot of rest after this weekend. </p> Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045311288115426414noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414710785270112878.post-31781638282772058742012-10-12T08:12:00.001-05:002012-10-12T08:12:15.043-05:00Crockpot Chicken Fav<p>Happy Friday Yall!

The weather, clothes, boots, food, football, and the list goes on. Every since Hob Lob put out the fall décor this year, I’ve shopped and hoarded fall décor. Finally this weekend I got around to decorating & crafting with a little help from pinterest. Saturday was perfect for Fall decorating.

Hope everyone had a good weekend as I sure did! Nothing to eventful except the fact my bestie had her sweet baby boy Friday evening. She didn't have the easiest time having him but he is here and both are safe & sound. Liam came into this world weighing 7 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches & is the most precious thing ever. <br />

Somehow I could never find the time though….story of my life. A few weeks ago our little area was some what affected by Hurricane Isaac so it was the perfect time to stay in and ORGANIZE & clean out!  Some may think I’m crazy but the O word gets me so excited. </p> <p> <br />Project #1: Closet…..cleaned out, bought new bins, put away most of summer clothes & shoes <br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LJG5knGpXLM/UFhzQcJOYlI/AAAAAAAAAvU/D8ZNqWyO5fw/s1600-h/closet%2525203%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="closet 3" border="0" alt="closet 3" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8jRL0GMKwxY/UFhzQ8vLBkI/AAAAAAAAAvc/b-u_5UWZIO8/closet%2525203_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="183" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pVWcOQA6x68/UFhzRuodH6I/AAAAAAAAAvk/b9Rv1iUQjLA/s1600-h/closet%2525204%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="closet 4" border="0" alt="closet 4" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-YrQuO2jpAik/UFhzSPOoLMI/AAAAAAAAAvs/HxUBsBx3Ff8/closet%2525204_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="183" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-S8Tl-LhZAfE/UFhzSuOavmI/AAAAAAAAAv0/bvBi5JDe_ME/s1600-h/closet%2525202%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="closet 2" border="0" alt="closet 2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-aGT-Y2-E6E4/UFhzTc9v4UI/AAAAAAAAAv8/lw4KAssiu-4/closet%2525202_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="183" height="244" /></a></p> <p align="center">Can you say Cardi <3??? You do see a whole rack of just cardigans! </p> <p align="center"> <br />Project #2: Storage closet…..I have a huge extra closet in my garage that we recently turned into another closet. My sweets hung shelves and helped me hang all winter light jackets, hoodies, and sweats up. The shelving made even more room for the overflow of boots. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-bkZ8gvTFqZU/UFhzUFdUJAI/AAAAAAAAAwE/cpBuQhAzWjE/s1600-h/closet%2525201%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="closet 1" border="0" alt="closet 1" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KPOqRueTXgA/UFhzUo4rMMI/AAAAAAAAAwM/JuAVQp6GHlA/closet%2525201_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="212" height="244" /></a></p> <p align="center">Don’t worry, these arent my only jackets, hoodies, coats, etc. I still have to get those from storage at my moms. <br /> <br />Project #3: Utility room….who am I kidding? I don’t really have a utility room but I do have a space for my washer and dryer with shelves. Basically the only organizing that went on here was putting detergent, dryer sheets, etc into cute bins over the w&d. But hey, at least its organized and has somewhat of color. <br /></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-z-siDWjeCDU/UFhzVZ49MTI/AAAAAAAAAwU/Og1vtrvVAjE/s1600-h/utility%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="utility" border="0" alt="utility" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GmcCuJJxZt4/UFhzV4FIQkI/AAAAAAAAAwc/BVpRKFbRlsQ/utility_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="193" /></a></p> <p align="center"> <br />Project #4:Front porch……this was more of Reids project than mine, I wont take all the credit. He cleaned out my flower pots, hanging baskets, etc. to get ready for fall mums & plants. I put away some of my summer décor and put out the Texas A&M flag. Our house is in full football & fall mode. <br /></p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ELUphSnidPs/UFcrW92Ez4I/AAAAAAAAArU/oOZHAQ3pqwU/s1600-h/295296_10100259275601798_1127780570_a%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="295296_10100259275601798_1127780570_a" border="0" alt="295296_10100259275601798_1127780570_a" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-JJAHCCVf19Q/UFcrXqmdbrI/AAAAAAAAArc/rBUxQ1QKCgk/295296_10100259275601798_1127780570_a_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="177" height="244" /></a> <br /> <div align="center">I have a few more small projects I would love to get done before the holidays so I’m crossing my fingers I’ll find time. </div> Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045311288115426414noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414710785270112878.post-87755753398926434892012-09-17T09:35:00.001-05:002012-09-19T15:47:48.270-05:00Where I spend most of my day…..As I said last week, I moved into our new office building. The company I work for grew so much over the last 4 years that they finally decided to merge all of us into one big office. It really is the state of the art office. So many people I know hate their job or location, and I am so blessed to love my job and live only 2 min from the office. Also, I have some of the best co workers anyone could ask for and have created friendships that will last a lifetime. <br />

This weekend went by faster than any in a while….maybe because time flies when your having fun! <br />
Next Saturday is actually the fiance’s birthday but we will be spending the weekend at home with our families so why not celebrate a wknd earlier with our friends?? We did exactly that. If anyone is familiar with LA & knows about Superior Bar & Grill you know what a good time it is. The drinks are amazing and they are known for the margaritas…yumm!!! Some of my closest friends came out & helped us celebrate Reids birthday.Plus it was just a good excuse to get dressed up and head out on the town. Of course, it would rain but it didn’t stop up. Please see the picture below of my one and only modeling in the rain……<br />

And thanks to Pinterest we even had a Mimosa Bar set up for the non prego ladies. </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-y4-OXrAg_bU/UDzOyD6uLsI/AAAAAAAAAnY/ljgvKetrd3o/s1600-h/britt%2525201%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="britt 1" border="0" alt="britt 1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-feUVGmp0UCo/UDzOy1RFTaI/AAAAAAAAAng/0uYnX6ylzBw/britt%2525201_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="274" height="323" /></a></p> <p>The last shower of the summer was for a very special friend of mine/cousin in law to be & her sweet baby boy. I hate that I don’t have more pics because she had such a cute shower too. The theme was circus and when I say it was all out….it was. Popcorn machines, cotton candy, sprinkle ice cream cones, etc. </p> <p> </p> <p align="center">Now if all these sweet babies would just hurry up and get here! Who else has baby fever right now???

Where to even start??? The whole thing was more than I could of ever imagined. </p> <p>While vacationing with my family in Destin, FL, my birthday fell on the same week. Reid knows how I am about birthdays so he decided to take me out on a special date for just the two of us the day before my birthday. Because of the bad weather, we were unable to get on the beach that day. Throughout the day, Reid mentioned walking on the beach after dinner but I hadn’t thought a thing of it(little did I know). Dinner came around and he acted fine….no shaking, sweaty palms, or anything! Scary how good he is at this acting. He seriously picked the most romantic spot for dinner at Louisiana Laginappe. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-MV8Yu-k-H3I/UDJ35SnM-VI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/oB8duzFFpNU/s1600-h/625707_10100240707023378_959619458_n%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="625707_10100240707023378_959619458_n" border="0" alt="625707_10100240707023378_959619458_n" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BQSFzwnpb54/UDJ351Mb0VI/AAAAAAAAAkY/QX3lvd1zOzc/625707_10100240707023378_959619458_n_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244" /></a></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">Thank goodness the weather had cleared up by then and we were able to take our walk on the beach. After finding a quite spot on the beach, we sat and talked a while but nothing out of the ordinary. I stood up to brush sand off of me and my dress and in a split sec he was on one knee holding a rock!!! Reid said that I said YES before he even asked me but I can’t tell you what happened…I was in shock!!!  As a little girl, I’ve imagined getting engaged on the beach but never told him that because I didn’t want to put pressure on the poor guy. I think he’s a keeper! </p> <p align="center">After taking it all in and calling some very special family and friends, we headed to the condo to share the news with the rest of our family. The night couldn’t have been more perfect.  Oh and of course I had to buy all the wedding magazines in Destin! Even my fiancé enjoyed the reading material! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-642zbjkDTeY/UDJ37b5qClI/AAAAAAAAAkg/XYq_c1AsLbU/s1600-h/mag%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="mag" border="0" alt="mag" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-V_Z9aQ2i2R8/UDJ3793d-3I/AAAAAAAAAko/-8Bk6aUWfIE/mag_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="131" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FZkJJlhuhP4/UDJ38v6qp7I/AAAAAAAAAkw/Rz03XAPlpP4/s1600-h/309001_10100240727776788_150401996_n%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="309001_10100240727776788_150401996_n" border="0" alt="309001_10100240727776788_150401996_n" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-K-DKlFH-owo/UDJ39PIve2I/AAAAAAAAAk4/mwyjq8fxlpI/309001_10100240727776788_150401996_n_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="183" height="244" /></a></p> <p align="center">The next day was my actual birthday and where else but the beach would I rather be??? For dinner my parents took me to the one and only Ruth Chris’s Steakhouse. We even had our own room to ourselves….maybe that’s because there was 10 of us! It was def a birthday to remember. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mP0N9HvdT5U/UDJ3-N6z9EI/AAAAAAAAAlA/f1OHvafz-LY/s1600-h/292453_10100240729024288_2135250605_n%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="292453_10100240729024288_2135250605_n" border="0" alt="292453_10100240729024288_2135250605_n" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ieIUpU2vNEY/UDJ3-lmMPjI/AAAAAAAAAlI/O9rtlJQjWfY/292453_10100240729024288_2135250605_n_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="182" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-a0K4JEXE4ys/UDJ3_jyE7cI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/YpjpFT30bMI/s1600-h/IMG_5104%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5104" border="0" alt="IMG_5104" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JA_e6Es0-co/UDJ3_2XPVlI/AAAAAAAAAlY/hqsdY9XeoXQ/IMG_5104_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244" /></a></p> Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045311288115426414noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414710785270112878.post-13806929650484689392012-08-08T08:27:00.001-05:002012-08-08T08:27:10.549-05:00We’re Engaged!!!!<p>  Yep you heard right.

It felt like Friday took forever to arrive…..maybe that’s because I leave for vacation tomorrow! But first, I have my best friends baby shower & I couldn’t be more excited for her.

I know that being on the beach only requires a swimsuit but in my world….accessories are the key to making the outfit! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IwdyysM8JpQ/UA7ElMTtf7I/AAAAAAAAAfc/OpeDSv_5luE/s1600-h/beach%252520style%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="beach style" border="0" alt="beach style" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2O1lMDZwhwg/UA7ElVivYNI/AAAAAAAAAfk/XeIdnLuaqko/beach%252520style_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427" /></a></p> <p>I finally found a fringe swimsuit top too! Praying it makes it here in time. My floppy hats and hair accessories are already packed and ready to go. Nowhere in TX or LA can you just wear a floppy hat or fedora on a normal day so I’ll be taking advantage of these accessories! Hairstyles are one of my fav things to add to an ensemble as well…..however, its not my cup of tea. It isn’t a natural talent of mine so hopefully with a few pinterest tutorials I’ll be able to pull it off. </p> <p>I’ve also found so many cute beach ideas thanks to the blogging world! Keep posting your presh outfits girls! </p> <p align="center">Hope everyone has a fab Tuesday! </p> Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045311288115426414noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414710785270112878.post-35965824815907905982012-07-18T08:49:00.001-05:002012-07-18T08:49:17.744-05:00WILW<p align="center">We are half way to the weekend…Snaps to that!!!

Marshalls….can you believe it???</p> <p> </p> <p>Enough of the mushy stuff…for the 4th of July we spent 5 days at Lake Sam Rayburn. Goodness I didn’t realize how much I needed a break from work. It was so nice to be off and spend time with fam & friends. Not gonna lie, I wasn’t to excited at first about “roughing it” travel trailer style, but at the end of the weekend I didn’t want to leave. Tons of time in the sun was spent with some delish cocktails & catching up with old friends. Sometimes it’s the little things in life we forget to enjoy! </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qm4-sB2G5lI/T_w-DkdB8vI/AAAAAAAAAbc/1nyBCNJLLhM/s1600-h/lake%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="lake" border="0" alt="lake" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KCDq4l1WNJA/T_w-ECy9pGI/AAAAAAAAAbk/sTfV1aMkj24/lake_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427" /></a></p> <p align="center">Can you see why it was so hard to come back to work???

This makes me so excited for a few reasons….2 day work week, fun in the sun, & time with lots of fam & friends. I’ll be spending my 4th of July week/wknd at the lake with my family, boyfriend, & friends. These days we don’t get much time to relax and live carefree & I plan on doing just that this week. </p> <p>Thanks to Pinterest I’ve found so many cute ideas for the 4th of July cookout.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fd7V018N110/T_L70jYNkaI/AAAAAAAAAZw/YMFpo8aQj1k/s1600-h/sangira%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="sangira" border="0" alt="sangira" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_MZX6rT2wWk/T_L71BQgi4I/AAAAAAAAAZ4/cK0slWTrbyo/sangira_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="221" height="244" /></a>      <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rCS0rO7UZRg/T_L7151HwZI/AAAAAAAAAaA/_TcYABAwBPY/s1600-h/4th%2525201%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="4th 1" border="0" alt="4th 1" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-DqUcC-L4muA/T_L72GnjUHI/AAAAAAAAAaI/OmGHOxketUU/4th%2525201_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="333" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Now don’t be fooled, I probably wont get around to making half of these things but it was a good idea right?? Of course, I will be making my fav cocktail, Sangria!</p> <p>Since we will be camping at the lake, there was no need for a super cute 4th outfit or anything <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-sadsmile" alt="Sad smile" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-NcI_jfM1Et8/T_L72stz1GI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/jnAkL5ga898/wlEmoticon-sadsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" /> But if we were to attend a 4th of July party, I’d def be wearing something like this: </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-S4_v7x_jk_o/T_L726FEvtI/AAAAAAAAAaY/9X30XYXv_i0/s1600-h/36591815691985842_wurN4mGS_c%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="36591815691985842_wurN4mGS_c" border="0" alt="36591815691985842_wurN4mGS_c" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TbzTpF3iQwY/T_L73Zb5lGI/AAAAAAAAAag/w_Pom6wz6PA/36591815691985842_wurN4mGS_c_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="148" height="244" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>I’ve also found a few cute hairstyles that I think I’ll try this week too.

LOOVEE IT! </p> <p> <strong>2. If you could afford anything and everything, which designer brand would you covet?</strong></p> <p>Ohh I’d def shop at Chanel, LV, & Saks….ALL THE TIME!</p> <p><strong>3. Must-have closet staple?</strong></p> <p>Cardi’s, black pants(work attire of course), basic sundresses, & neutral color heels</p> <p><strong>4. Favorite kind of shoes?</strong></p> <p>Wedges…..they can make any outfit</p> <p><strong>5. Best clothing deal you've ever gotten (sale or amazing find)?</strong></p> <p>I can't think of anything at the moment, but I do love finding great sales!</p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong>6. Style you'd love to try?</strong></p> <p> <p>Because I’m so short, I never feel like high waist skirts and blouses tucked in look presh but I’d love to find the right attire and try it! And of course that would call for new heels to complete the look!</p></p> Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045311288115426414noreply@blogger.com1
