Girls night in

For the 1st time since Ryan & I moved in together last summer,he has never spent a night a way from me..he is off in Chattanooga on a photography trip so me & Ellie Jane are having a girl's night in...
Tonight just a Chick flick, some wine, hummus, & a delicious strawberry cupcake from my favorite bakery Bread & Co.YUM!!!I also managed to make a trip to the local goodwill with a $20 budget to see what vintage dresses I could find...after 2 hours & alot of trying on...I left spending $30 with a few new fun pieces for my wardrobe...Here is one of my favorites...A blue Ann Taylor jacket with some vintage details for a mere $8!! I also found these sweet roller skates in my dressing room & desperately wished they were in my size!!!

Soup & Sledding on a Snow day

We got about 4-5 inches of snow in Nashville, which is by far the most snow I have ever seen here in 5 years...It was great at 1st, but for someone who constantly likes to be on the go...it took me a min. to figure out what to do with myself! I have made batches of popcorn with olive oil & sea salt..we have plenty of movies to watch & today Ryan, Ellie & I ventured outside for a sledding adventure in our neighborhood... afterwards coming inside for a hot bowl of my favorite soup from Trader Joe's Roasted Corn & Red Pepper, & a piece of yummy sesame Ezekiel toast....the only thing I add to it is cracked black pepper. It's nothing fancy, but simply sweet & a little spicy. It is not at all chunky, but great to dip some toast or a grill cheese into...I also thought I'd include some fun pics of the sledding...My boyfriend was not on board until we got outside & he couldn't resist flying down the hills...We used the plastic top of a storage container since we don't have a sled, which worked somewhat well. Ellie had no problem zipping all over the place playing in the snow!!!

Hair Do

My current favs

This may change next week;) but these are my current shoe wants...I would wear the strappy heel in the summer with a flirty summer dress...the booties...I would wear with a skirt or dress in the winter with tights...They also come in black..so not sure which color I would get yet...To make these choices even more tempting...they are both under $25 each @gojane.com!!

Dreaming out loud...

I wanna run around in a floral frilly dress in the yard outside this window...run thru the sprinkler in the heat...come in once you can hear the crickets outside & see the stars in the sky to grill out a fabulous summer dinner fresh from the garden then sink into this tub with vanilla candles galore lit & climb into a warm bed under a luxurious down comforter surrounded by fluffy pillows & head off into dreamland...That's what I wanna do right now...
