Main Street Madison


I'm baaaaccckkk!!
Hope you all had an awesome weekend. I had so much fun on my trip!! Wish I didn't have to come back to real life so soon. I have lots of vacation pics to share but today I thought I'd share the ONLY outfit photos I managed to take while on vacation. Only one outfit, but it's A LOT of photos so it kinda makes up for it. Plus this area is super cute, I loved it.
 
 
 
These photos were taken in Madison, Alabama on main street where all the little old buildings and stores remain intact. It was a picture perfect area with painted brick and railroad tracks passing through the town. We even ate lunch at a classy restaurant across the street that was once the town jail. (pretty cool!)
My cute baby sister joined me for a few photos. She's growing up so fast, I can't believe she's 16!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
One of the days we were in Alabama we spent an afternoon shopping at their gorgeous outdoor mall where I discovered these beautiful velvet boots! I'm obsessed with velvet everything lately so I was instantly in love!
 
 
 
 
 I also picked up this hat and sweater there, I've been searching for a floppy wool hat so I was pretty psyched to find this one! I wore it pretty much the whole trip...


 
 
Well, that's it for today! I'll put up a vacation post in the next few days so I can share everything we did and all the cool places we visited :) Have a lovely day!

Sweater, Hat & Boots - H&M

Inspiration Monday: Pop of Pippa!

 
Hey all, still on vacation, but I'm coming home tonight! So expect me to be spending the week catching up with all your lovely blogs! I'm sure I've missed so much!
Again, since I pre-scheduled this post it'll be short and sweet :)
 
 
This week's Inspiration is Pippa Middleton. I love this combo she's wearing; a fitted dress and leather jacket with ankle boots and a poppy leopard clutch! I don't seem to have a lot of longer, fitted dresses so I went for the color instead of the fit! I also wore tights because it was COLD and used my favorite mustard wallet as a clutch!

Floral & Leaves

 
Happy Friday! As you all know, I'm on vacation right now. (probably shopping or eating or laying on the beach, sigh...) so since I'm typing this up at 2 am the night before I leave, I'll make it short and just let you look at the pics!
I kind of threw this outfit together in a hurry earlier this week only knowing that I wanted to wear this skirt with tights and I can't stop wearing this blouse lately. I really like how it turned out! The shoes took me the longest to pick out, haha. Everything else just came together!

We Are Young


To-niiiiight.....we are yoouuung......
Yes, I'll admit the song get's old.. it's very overplayed. But I am a FUN. fan. I'm actually more a fan of Nate Ruess' older stuff from the band The Format, but I'll take what I can get! I scooped this shirt up for $5 on the clearance rack at Hot Topic over the weekend(it's one of the Hub's favorite stores, I find it scary....)
 
 
I NEVER wear graphic tees/band tees but for $5 and a good fit, I couldn't resist! So I decided to dress it up to my usual style :) I actually really like how it came out! I should push the envelope more often! Haha.
 
 
 
So...today... Today is our two-and-a-half year wedding anniversary! And we just happen to be leaving on vacation tomorrow! (just an awesome coincidence) What better way to celebrate?! I still have so much to do...I haven't  even begun to pack! What the heck?! And I have a couple posts to set up for while I'm gone!
 
 

 
Well, farewell for a bit my friends! I'm off to soak up some sun (hopefully not too much sun since I have pale easily burned skin) enjoy the beach, shop, and explore Alabama!

FUN. Tee - Hot Topic
Cardigan - Downeast

Inspiration Monday: Cozy Layers

 
Another Monday. But this one's better than most. No work today! Can I just tell you how much I love working at a bank?! We get ALL the holidays off! Today's excuse? Columbus day. Any other lucky peeps out there have the day off?
Any who, linking up to Two Birds today with my interpretation of the lovely Rachel Bilson's ensemble. I always love her style. Seriously, doesn't she always dress well?! And what could be better than a blazer over a sweater, especially in the ever-growing cold weather we've had lately!
 

It may look somewhat warm in these photos but there was a mean breeze! I'm wearing a button down shirt, a sweater, and a blazer and still freezing my butt off!!
 
 


I actually kind of forgot I had this sweater and sleepily pulled it on after finding it on the floor early Saturday morning before work. I'm so glad I rediscovered it because besides being super comfy it's also kind of the perfect cut/fit. I need more sweaters like it!
 
 
 
 
 
Well, hope you all had an awesome weekend! We ended up going to see The Possession (a horror movie, which I had to drag the Hubs too ;) ) And just chilling with family. It was pretty nice and low-key. I'm glad this week is here! It's gonna be a good one for sure!!

Paparazzi


Why am I blogging at 6 pm on a Saturday night? Honestly, I don't know. The Hubs is at a church meeting with his Dad and Brother and I'm SUPER bored. Good thing it's only an hour! Then we can resume the usual Saturday activities like dinner and maybe a movie?
 
 
So here's some more taken-as-the-sun-was-going-down photos for you! These ones aren't as bad as the last though. Haha. But as you can tell I was too lazy to venture away from the end of my driveway ;)
I wore this to a friend's Paparazzi party last night! Paparazzi is that awesome $5 jewelry (you've probably seen it at fairs and boutiques) You do have to be careful because some of it does look cheap, but I managed to get a few really pretty, nice pieces!
 
 
 
I'm not actually really big on jewelry most of the time. I wear earrings (studs) and the occasional necklace but I rarely go all out. How bout you girls?
 
 
 
So, I'm really excited for this week!! Monday is a bank holiday, and I asked Wednesday through the following Monday off for a little mini-vacation with the fam, so Tuesday is the only random day I have to work this week! Yay! I know it sounds totally random but my family is flying out to Alabama this Thursday. My dad commutes out there for work in a really pretty area so we're going out to visit and of course spend some time on the beach! Ah, I'm super excited for that!!
