An actual outfit post!

Top: Old Navy / Jeggings: Kohl's / Booties: Kohl's / Glasses: Firmoo

Whats this? An ACTUAL outfit post?! Yea, I know its Friday, but at least I got 2 in the books this week. Next week will be back to regularly scheduled programming, life has just been a little coo coo latley, and I'm not going to lie and say my outfits haven't taken a hit. I spent most of this week in old glasses, jeans and lame tees. For sure, not blog worthy.

It's my brothers last weekend in town and I think we are going to play it cool and enjoy just a bit more time together. I believe a trip to the Gorge, and wine tasting are in order! What are ya'll up to for this lovely FALL weekend???

Don't forget there's still a little bit of time left on the AWESOME giveaway happening over at For Lauren and Lauren -- Go! Enter! Win!

It's OK...

It's OK that I haven't been able to post outfit pics this week... recovering from Seattle and kitty issues took precedence.

It's OK that I splurged and got a cream cheese pumpkin muffin at Starbucks this morning (YUM).

It's OK that its 82 degrees out but I'm wearing my new booties because I couldn't wait any longer to wear them!

It's OK that I'm a worried kitty mama and took my cat to two different vets this week (and spent a LOT of money. Thank God for Care Credit). If I hadn't, she wouldn't be feeling better today.

It's OK that I stayed out too late and drank too much last night because it was my big brother's 30th birthday! Whoop whoop!

It's OK that due to said staying out to late and drinking too much, I slept in late and brought my makeup with me to work... and it's ok that its now 11am and I still haven't put it on.

It's OK to miss cloudy fall days and rain. We don't get much of that here.

It's OK that I haven't made it to the gym at all this week. That always happens at a certain time of the month. Blast.

It's OK that I bought more hair dye. Again.

What are your 'It's OK' moments???

Another Giveaway and Kitty Issues

Hi new followers from the beautiful Katie @ For Lauren and Lauren!!

So I know posting has been a little sparse this week, and here's part of the reason why.
If you are new to my little bloggy you may not yet know that I'm a crazy cat lady and I have two beautiful babes of my own. Lately Rosie has been in and out of the vet trying to get a UTI under control, and after my weekend in Seattle I noticed a complete change in her personality. She was hiding, not eating, vomiting and not wanting to be messed with. She is a SUPER cuddly kitty and she didn't want me to pet her or pick her up. I noticed she felt lighter when I tried. We spent some time at the vet and we can't figure out whats wrong with her. She was severely dehydrated and had lost about a pound in the last few weeks. The vet thinks she may have ingested something foreign that's obstructing her bowels, but nothing is showing up on x-rays. She finally ate a little last night and didn't vomit, but she still hasn't had any bowel movements. At this point they are thinking exploratory surgery may be the next step, and that breaks my heart. I dont want to put her through that needlessly, especially for the expense.

Todays plan of attack is to see if she passes any stool, and if not, its back to the vet we go.
I feel awful that she's clearly in pain and no one can figure out why. Please send her happy kitty thoughts and keep your fingers crossed that she goes potty soon!!

I hope you all have a blessed and beautiful day.

I'd like another weekend day please.

Omg.
Why is Monday always here so soon.
I die.

My posts are likely to be short and sweet this week kids, but I will say we had a blast in Seattle this weekend and I'm super bummed I had to come back last night instead of staying for the Packers/Seahawks game!! BUT we were in some stock footage taken by ESPN this weekend, so keep an eye out if your watching the game - you just might see me!

Hope you all have a lovely start to the week! :)

Playing tourist

Top: Kohl's / Jeans: Old Navy / Flats: Target

Happy Friday ya'll!

Thought you'd get through a whole week without seeing a pair of my colored jeans, did you?
C'mon now, you know I can't let that happen! Green jeans it is!

This weekend we are heading to the other side of the mountains to show my bro Seattle, and really to spend some time there ourselves. I'm looking forward to playing tourist! I already left my heart in Portland a couple months ago when we spent a long weekend there, but I feel Seattle may have a similar effect. The boys are staying for the Seattle/Packers game Monday, but I'll hightail it back in time for the work week. Stupid work! Any Seattle-ites have any recommendations of fun places to check out?

Do ya'll have any fun weekend plans??

And, if you haven't already, don't forget to enter the amazeballs giveaway happening over at Shanna's blog!

And now, I'll leave you with this. Quite possibly my favorite kitteh video of all time. She clearly choreographed her fail for our entertainment. Thanks kitteh! (And I hope you survived the fall!)

Have a beautiful weekend friends!!

Pajama skirts

Jacket: NY & Co. (similar) / Tee: AE (similar) / Skirt: Old Navy / Cons: Thrifted / Glasses: Firmoo

Hi new followers from BSSS! Welcome :) I hope ya'll stick around!

Lets talk about this skirt for a minute. This very well could be the most comfortable and flattering skirt I own. I happened upon it in Old Navy a couple weeks ago, and I couldn't WAIT to wear it.

I recently read an article in Good Housekeeping (yes I get Good Housekeeping) about one woman's dirty little secret. She would *gasp* sleep in her clothes sometimes, and then get up and keep right on wearing them the next day! While I haven't done this since college, it did get me (and my extreme morning laziness) thinking. IF I was to ever do that, I would definitely do it in this skirt. It legitimately feels like pajamas. And there ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Have you ever slept in your clothes and woke up and kept right on wearing them the next day??

Lunch with the Governor

Dress: Kohl's / Belt: AE / Shoes: AE / Earrings: AE

I am beyond thrilled its Wednesday. This week has been tough and I'm looking forward to the weekend already.

Ok so I didnt exactly have lunch WITH the Governor, but she was there, so it counts! Yesterday I was invited to a TRIDEC luncheon as a guest of one of our board members. We recently built a website for a new book he authored and he invited us as a thank you. The food was only so-so, but the Governor was speaking on area issues and it was definitely interesting. I wore this outfit because I thought it mixed young and creative with professional fairly well. Looking at the photos now I think it may have been a tad short, but I felt good in it nonetheless.

Now I'm off to the gym for my regular lunch hour workout, and its much needed today!

Have a lovely day ya'll!

Mustard and Plums

Dress: Target / Cardi: Maurices (similar) / Scarf: Kohl's / Shoes: Target (similar)

It's been a minute since I've worn this dress. I wore it lots in the late spring/early summer, and now its been hanging in my closet since July, waiting for a fresh wear. I don't know that this outfit is mind blowing or anything, but I do know that I still love this dress and this off-kilter color, and I didn't know how much I'd love purple with it! Don't you love when you randomly come across new color combinations??

Linking up!

I am Batman?

Tee: Amazon / Jeans: Rock & Republic for Kohl's / Flats: Target / Glasses: Firmoo

I actually feel bad for Monday's a little bit. No one likes them, and its not really their fault. Or is it?

When I got to work today there was a cat sitting on our stoop. I think it was a sign that this day is going to get much better. I hope so anyway. I went out to see her and she was a very friendly babe. I thought about feeding her something as she seemed a little on the thin side, but I knew if I did that she'd never leave, and she was already following me around crying. I felt awful going back inside as she seemed to love the attention, but sadly, I had to get to work, and I knew B wouldn't let me bring home another cat.

Oh the woes of the crazy cat lady.

On an unrelated note, I really like Batman. And it was casual Friday. 'Nuff said.
