Happy Weekend!
Hope your week was positive and productive! It's finally Friday and I know I'm ready for the weekend. I've been totally wrapped up in the Olympics, I've been watching every single night, just riveted. And so far I'm totally captivated/inspired/proud of these ladies:
Gabby Douglas
Missy Franklin
Misty May Trainor and Kerri Walsh
Allyson Felix
Gabby Douglas
Missy Franklin
Misty May Trainor and Kerri Walsh
(I love that even though they've won so many gold medals and been to so many Olympic games, they're not jaded and are excited to be there. Love them!)
And I'm totally stoked to see these ladies start their competitions!
Allyson Felix
Lolo Jones
What can I say? I'm crazy about the Olympics! How about you all, are you tuning in? Also, I should note that after watching all these athletes (male and female), I'm now on a quest for the return of my 6 pack abs that have been hidden for a few years now ;o)
Have a great weekend!

Happy Weekend!
Can I just tell you all how freaking happy I am today is Friday? This week stunk up the place. I mean the weather has been gloomy, I've been feeling low and I'm having tech issues - fun. Here's hoping for a relaxing, fun (we may be going strawberry picking - weather permitting), recharging weekend! The one bright part of this week was that I won a $100 Shopbop gift card from the lovely Maria Fe over at Layers of Meaning! Totally awesome! After much deliberation I decided on the following items:
As usual, the items arrived super quick (I swear Shopbop is so great at shipping) and I LOVED each one. The top is a bit more boxy than it appears, but it's a great look and will be perfect to throw on over a tank. The scarf is so soft and chunky, I can't wait to wear it this fall with my new blue coat.
Thanks Maria Fe for hosting such a great giveaway!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I've been on the road for work and for fun since last Wednesday. So today I'm playing catch up. The best part was that I got to see my bestie for the first time in almost 2 years! She just moved into the most gorgeous house in the NC mountains. Here is a picture of the view from her back deck yesterday morning. Breathtaking, right?
I went up to help her paint her youngest son's bedroom (he wasn't on board with the existing pink walls). We painted (and laughed) for 2 straight days and ended up with a lovely sage green room! He is now one happy 4 year old! Oh and a side note, she made me watch the movie Black Swan, which was made in the land of suck. Seriously what a pointless dredge. I just kept pointing out that the best part of the movie was the fact that both Spock and Luke Skywalker's mothers were in the film. Because everything eventually comes back to Star Wars and Star Trek. Oh and I kept yelling "Where's Bette Midler?" every time Barbara Hershey was on the screen. I hope they made her look bad in the movie, because otherwise she's had some bad plastic surgery, Bless her heart.
I also bought some of Garnier's B.B. Cream this morning. I came home and put some on and it's pretty good. I usually use Olay's Total Effects Tone Correcting UV moisturizer - which is awesome, but at $23 I wanted to see if there was a more affordable option out there. The B.B. Cream ($12) is thicker and a bit more tacky to the touch than the Olay, but it gives comparable coverage. I'm not in love with the smell of it, it's a strong sort of fruity/floral. I'll give it a few more days and figure it out.

Happy Monday!
First of all I must apologize for being M.I.A. this past week, I had to finish up a big project and then travel to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the facility that I work out of, which was so much fun! So I've been busy. BTW, I hate that word "busy", I try not to use it but there you go, I used it. Ugh.
Anyway, it's Masters week here in Augusta and the traffic is insane, I have to basically re-route my life to avoid Augusta National. I live close enough to the course for it to impact even my grocery shopping. The activity over there the past month has been crazy. The whole year there revolves around either preparing for and/or cleaning up after The Masters. Oh and I'm curious how they are going to handle the azalea situation. See all the azaleas have bloomed down here because it's been so warm, and the blooms are going away. I'm sure they have some sort of potion or something that delayed the blooming (I heard they put ice around the plants). Lord only knows what goes on behind those fences.
On to other more fashionable things. One of my best friends bought a lovely blue blazer from J.Crew and wanted some styling options. Here are the suggestions I sent her (I want to run out and buy that blazer now!) Have a great Monday!

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend - we had a great one since my college basketball team won Friday afternoon and again yesterday! We are in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005 so I'm thrilled! Go Wolfpack! Anyway, here's a look at what I'm wearing today:
Shirt - JCrew
Shorts - Claude Brown (thrifted $7)
Shoes - Cynthia Vincent for Target
Photo from my Instagram (look me up, I'm spryonthewall if you want to follow)!
I have a huge project I'm working on this week so I'd better get back to it. Have a great day!

Monday blahs
Yeah, this post is so late, but I'm suffering from a case of the Monday blahs. I guess that's what you would call them. You know, when you have a lot to do but can't seem to accomplish one thing? Oh well, one thing did perk me up today - my dress from Sunday Brunch arrived. Seriously, I ordered it Friday and it got here today - top notch customer service - just see how it looked when I opened the box:
Cute! (don't be jealous of my mad photography skillz)
It's a perfect fit and I love it! Yay!

Something to cheer me up
I've had a rough week so far - heck, I've had a rough year - so I need some cheering up. This song always makes me smile when I hear it. Sure, it's really for preschoolers, but us adults can appreciate it too! Do enjoy "Everywhere I go" by my daughter's favorite, Moose A. Moose via Noggin. (It's also really good to remember that troubles are the none-iest!)
