Shake Your Tailfeather {Misc. Monday}

I'm so thankful for this past weekend. 

Billy was out of town for a bachelor party and as I missed him, the time to myself was wonderful. I got to experiment with new recipes and get stuff done around the house that I had been putting off, and I also did a project I found on Pinterest.

Super productive I'd say!

I'm linking up for Misc. Monday to share all my weekend randoms with ya'll.

I do think this is my 1st time linking up so cheers to that..

1. I got feather hair extensions in my hair. I had been wanting some for a long time, and am so glad I got them! I just love them, and now I want to get even more.

I got a yellow grizzly, natural grizzly, and a brown solid.

What do you think?

I'm inspired by Jennifer Love Hewitt's feather extensions and am really wanting to add some more colors...

Do you like the new feather trend?!

2. The Irish Festival is still one of my favorite weekends of the year. Next year I would like to go during the day so I can see more of the shops and listen to more of the bands, but this year was fun. I went with 2 of my closest girlfriends that I've been friends with since high school and we had a blast. I forced my g/f Angela to sneak up close to the stage with me under the tent to see my favorite bands perform for a few songs.

Here are some pictures of the night...

3. I love my husband.

I got home from work on Friday and found these sitting on our kitchen table. Even though he was going out of town, he stopped and got these for me before he left. So sweet.

I love them.

What girl doesn't?!

4. I made this yummy yummy yummy recipe I found on Pinterest.

Baked Black Bean Taquitos

{click the name for the link to the recipe}

They were soo good and I can't wait to make them for Billy!

5. I seriously love me some Trader Joes. I went and spent a bunch of moo-lah on cheeses, spreads, salsas, veggie kabobs, lentils, etc. and was like a kid in a candy store. Everytime I go in there I feel like I could stay for hours {yes, I feel the same about Whole Foods too.}

Who has tried this amazing salsa?

6. My love for Ryan Gosling hasn't stopped at The Notebook. Lindsay and I had a girl date Saturday night and we went to see the movie Crazy, Stupid Love. Such a cute movie...and some serious eye candy. GO SEE IT, LADIES.



SO SO SO CUTE.

I mean, not that good looking.

7. Fall fashion has sucked me in yet again. Every year when the stores first put out their fall clothes, I tell myself: "Do not do it, yet. Wait a bit" and......I always fail. I went and bought 3 shirts this weekend that I won't be able to wear for atleast a month or two, but on the bright side..they were amazing deals. So it was sort of like I had to. Right?

I did get this cute outfit though that I can't wait to wear....

Soft Satin Shirt

in Silver

with....

 this black lace skirt..

That's all I've got today for Misc. Monday!

Tomorrow I have something exciting to share :-)

What did you do this weekend?! Did you have a productive, laid back kinda weekend like myself? or what fun did you get into? Share with me!

xo.

Billy and Rocky Biking {and Irish Fest}

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I must say, I just love that picture of Billy and Rocky that I put on yesterdays post. I keep going back to look at it...they are just adorable. 

I love even more that you all asked to see a picture of Billy holding Rocky while bike riding. I'm a woman of my word so I hope you all enjoy these pictures as much as I do!

Also, remember when you all tried calling me out on this post saying the Lululemon running shorts I buy look way too short? Well, I had to prove that I am not in fact a supporter of skank-a-licious shorts at the gym that are up my butt so here is some proof of that.

"I be lovin' this ride & the sunshine, ma"

      

So cute, right?

He is incredibly happy in the last picture and that's typically how he is the whole way. He even closes his eyes sometimes haha

Alright, now for the NON skank-a-licious short proof...

Let's not pay attention to the fact that I'm wearing..

purple shoes. orange socks. black shorts. and a bright neon yellow tee.

...I match.

Now you can go out and buy some Lulu speed shorts {mine are the Turbo ones} because they are the most comfortable pair of shorts you will ever own. I live in mine 24/7.

PS-I FORGOT TO MENTION..these shorts DO NOT ride up in the middle and that is my favorite thing about them.

This weekend is one of my most favorite events in our city..

the Dublin Irish Festival.

The festival features Irish music, dance, shopping, culture, art and athletic contests on more than 27 acres. Live music and dance performances will be presented on seven stages and more than 100,000 people will attend the three-day event.

aka

A GREAT TIME.

Here's some pictures from previous years!

yes, I did have really short hair..never again.

I will take a bunch more this year to show you..people get DECKED out in Irish gear and it is seriously one of the most fun weekends (even if I'm a little biased Irish gal ;))

What are your plans this weekend?!

STAY TUNED because next week I will be having a GIVEAWAY!!!!

WOO-HOO!

Get excited.

TGIF!
