gold bobby pins

UGH I didn’t win the lottery.  I was really banking on it.  My office pool had 200+ tickets so I figured my odds were pretty good, eh??  Just kidding but seriously, that would have been crazy.  What does one do with $640 million?

Anyway, here’s what’s been going on lately…
I have a new obsession with gold bobby pins (in the photo above) and my hair obviously starts getting quite frizzy in the springtime.

We made homemade eggs benedict BUT didn’t have any milk so we used vanilla soy milk for the hollandaise sauce.  It was weird but still pretty decent:

Concocted this lemon, vanilla, rosemary home deodorizer that I spotted on Pinterest recently.  It smelled lovely:

Grabbed this mini blueberry pie at simplethings sandwich & pie shop for Kyle and I to devour during Game of Thrones:

And here are a few instagrams from the last few days as well (@thestyleeater):

1/ my typical weekend comfy clothes
2/ a date at umami burger with cheesy tots (i usually order the original umami burger but with a portobello mushroom instead of a meat patty)
3/ an even smaller pie (this one is pumpkin) from simplethings
4/ more gold bobby pins and a new revlon lip color

PS – I have lots of new posts this week!  I know, SHOCKER.  So come back and visit for a new recipe, a fun craft project, and a semi outfit post.

When it rains

These last few days have been the kind where your Gmail gets hacked, your iPhone wipes clean, and you forget to wear rain boots on the rainiest, wettest day of the year.  Everything’s been going kind of haywire for me lately but guess what?  A new, Spring week is upon us and I’m going to wear colorful outfits, eat dark chocolate Cadbury eggs, decorate my apartment with ranunculus flowers, and keep trucking on.  Who’s with me?

Puppy love.

husky puppy

If you follow one of my 800 social media accounts, you’ve probably already seen this photo.  I posted it to every single one of them.  If not, ISN’T HE PRECIOUS?

Kyle’s friend’s husky recently had 7 puppies (born on Valentine’s Day!) so we innocently went to visit them this weekend.  Ok, not so innocently because we’ve been wanting a puppy real bad.  It didn’t help that I absolutely fell in love with this little guy.  Don’t get me wrong, ALL the puppies were ridiculously cute but I clicked with this one, ya know?

We have 4 more weeks to decide if we’re ready for a puppy.  Good decision?  Bad decision??

Either way, he has my heart.  Ahhh, puppy love.

It’s Monday + some newness

Monday?  Is that you??  It sure doesn’t feel like Monday, maybe more like a Wednesday?  Anyway, we took a lovely beach stroll early Saturday morning, after having breakfast here.  It was slightly freezing and I was wearing a mix of pajamas and yoga pants, but it worked out kinda nicely.  Here are some other bits from the weekend:

Evidence of me looking like I just hopped out of bed on said beach stroll:

Received this delivery of Parisian Chic:

Pondered over what I should put in this frame.  Contemplating a photo of my pup, but will Kyle be jealous?:

Made two new best friends, one in the form of polka dots:

Finally filled up the back wall of the kitchen with lots of useful things:

Wore this dress to my event last night.  In LOVE with the back detail:

Snippets from the weekend

This weekend was pretty action-packed.  The good kind of “action-packed” though.  I went back home to celebrate my brother’s birthday, a friend’s bridal shower, and to snuggle with my sweet pup.  My weekends with the family tend to fly by too quickly and I always look forward to going back and seeing them again.  Plus, my mom makes bomb.com food.  Yes, I just said “bomb.com” and no, I’m not embarrassed.

It’s Cadbury Egg season!!  For some reason, I lose all sorts of judgment and willpower around Cadbury Eggs.  If there’s no one around to tell me STOP, I eat handfuls upon handfuls upon shoveling handfuls of these little chocolate miracles.  I literally am obsessed.  The fact that my current bag is dwindling down (that bowl up there is LONG gone by now) is giving me hyperventilations like you wouldn’t believe!
