SOME THINGS I KNOW ARE TRUE







Outfit Details: Blazer: Kiki La' Rue (on sale!), Blouse: H&M, old (similar), Jeans: H&M (similar)Shoes: UrbanOG (similar-love!)

Dear friends reading this, a good striped blazer is a must in your closet. One with gold buttons are just an added extra that I really, really like. I'm kinda sorta 9 shades of obsessed with this fancy one and when I posted it to instagram I noticed you guys did too, right? You're in luck because this one is on sale AND Kiki La' Rue added another similar striped blazer to their collection...which is pictured below.



*Kiki La' Rue just received the popular (and amazing) piko tops and they are only $35. Check them out here! They seem to be a big hit this season and are so soft!!

....I also know that I was having one the worst hair days ever which is why you only see my neck down.
It happens. 


Dear Billy and this week, It has been an extremely long week. In fact, it felt like you were a turtle in a race and you were never going to cross that finish line. The truth is I felt drained this week, the word busy doesn't even begin to describe it and my sleep has suffered. Me without sleep is not a pretty picture...I don't function well and right now I'm just hoping to catch back up on it this weekend.

However, coming home to flowers and then going out for mexican food is a really good way to be cheered up quickly. Thank you Billy.

What is it about beer, 2 baskets of chips and queso, and fajitas that is so damn good?
I know...beer, 2 baskets of chips and queso, and fajitas. That's what.



Dear striped wall, we have become to love you. I want to take my time decorating you, so that you will be really pretty, but I think you are going to get a mirror hung on you. What do you guys think? We have a lot going on in other areas around this wall therefore I'd like to keep it more simple. 

Also, you look more brown in this picture, but I promise you are gray (and the best shade of gray that I've found). I got some questions about the color of the stripes - it is Silver Spoon by Olympic (from Lowe's). 



Dear trim in the above pictures, I have a feeling you will be replaced soon. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Dear hair, remember that one time I got highlights put in just to cover it up a week later with my normal brown shade? You don't? Well, that will be happening tonight. #indecisive.

This is besides those times in high school when I insisted on bleaching my hair blonde and then forcing my Dad to take me to the grocery store to cover it up with box color. 

...who else is guilty of this? anyone?

Dear Rocky, you have been the best snuggle bug this week and I just love you so much. You gave us a scare this week when your back leg started hurting and you refused to walk, but within 5 minutes you were back to your normal self again. Phew. You are the cutest in all the land.


Dear baby shower I'm hosting tomorrow, I hope that the mommy and daddy to-be really enjoy you. I'm excited to see all of our work come together and to spend time with all our loved ones! I may or may not have baby fever now...little shoes, little onesies, ahhh. 

But if you're thinking it-no, this won't be happening for a bit. ;) 

Dear all 47 of you who left me comments on yesterday's post or linked up for Saw It. Pinned It. Did It, thank you. It makes me feel good knowing you guys like or want to glitterfy (not a word) your shoes too. Glam.it.up. Your projects or recipes that you linked up were AWESOME. 

Goodness. I think that's it.
Link up here with Ashley to share your Friday letters!

Happiest of Friday's to all of you!

  1. You need to know that I'm sitting here feeling accomplished because I do have a striped blazer in my closet that looks identical to the one on the mannequin. Snaps for Whitney.

  2. Boxed color is my worst enemy! I was blonde, went dark, hated it, so went blonde again and it left me with orange hair with pink streaks! Yikes! Not pretty...

    I love your striped wall, it's actually identical to my duvet cover with accents of yellow and blue.

  9. I'm obsessed with stripes anyway. (on the blazer and on the wall). I think the stripes on the wall is a major statement in and of itself. I think I would keep it simple with a mirror that's sort of large (relative to the space) and maybe a few items in a flat black or white. VERY cute!

  16. SO in love with the striped wall! I think a simple mirror would be the perfect addition and agree with you that it's such a statement in its own that you don't need to do too much to it. I am sure you've already scoured all the usual suspects for the perfect mirror but thought this was cute AND affordable: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=18951509&RN=762&

    Not sure if you are fancy for wall decals (monograms, or inspirational quotes) but Etsy has the best and are completely customizable & would just make the mirror pop by being placed above it on the wall. Your kitchen makeover is super inspirational! I can't wait to move out of DC so we can actually buy a HOME versus an apartment :)
