What I Fancy Friday - Bloggers

Friday, July 13, 2012

Stupid Diet Rockstar + Nap - I think I'll be up far later than I should be tonight (PS - I'm typing this up Thursday evening) So forgive me if I ramble more so than usual...my mind is racing.

So first off, I'm tired of using the phrase "Friday Finds", so I'm giving this blog title a go. Also, I think I'm going to start ~~attempt to start~~ making these posts about specific themes. Bloggers this week.

Whatcha got planned for the weekend?

Has anyone seen the new Spider-Man yet or am I the only one who hasn't seen it?

I have 2 more groupon movie ticket vouchers left and I have to wait until passes are accepted before I see it! Though I hardly count them as "passes" I paid fair and square for them just at a discounted rate!

Once I got home today (Thursday) I started working on my wedding website. In the beginning of the wedding planning stages I had opted out of the whole website thing but the closer it gets...the more sense it makes. After a gentle nudge from my mother I decided to make one. It took me forever and I'm not technically finished yet!

Go here if you'd like to see it!

(I'm counting this as one of my things I fancy because I fancy it a lot and it happens to be Friday and I'm a blogger!)

Oh and let me know what you think!

Some other things on the top of my "share" list -

Stephanie's hair is AMAZING and I love her blog. It's hair like this that is keeping me going on my attempt to grow my hair out. And I have a huge crush on her hair color...in a perfect world I would've been able to get rid of my black hair in one fell swoop and have this be the end result!

Hey look! Another Stephanie! This fabulous Stephanie shared her engagement photos and I thought they were the cutest thing ever!!

Miki (one of my fave bloggers) shared a babysitting adventure and I swear...she is the best babysitter ever! I had a blast just reading everything they did!

Abby shared some photos of her new felines...they are adorable...and Abby is also one cool cat!! :)

Last but by no means the least - Stephanie (ANOTHER Stephanie...maybe I should change the theme!) is the author of the blog Catsparella posts about cats and ALL things related to cats!! Needless to say...one of my daily reads. She posted about the movie called Miss Minoes and now...I have to buy it. Maybe next pay day! I had never heard of it before I read her post!

That's it! What do you think about the "themed" Friday posts?

Also...don't forget to give my wedding site a little look-see...I had zero idea of what to include or how to design it so I'd love to hear/read your thoughts before I share it with my family and guests!

I'll talk to you soon!

It's My Birthday and I'll Online Shop if I Want To!

Saturday, June 16, 2012

Hey hey party people! :)

Thanks for those of you who popped in and read my mini-post yesterday and thanks again to the people stopping by during your weekend to e-celebrate my birthday with me!

I'll be spending the day with the fiance who took the day off work. Our plans aren't set in stone so it'll be a play-it-by-ear birthday extravaganza. But we do know for sure we'll be scooting on down to my parents place this evening to have dinner and cake...red velvet cake. Yum.

So if you know me...you know I LOVE to shop online. Slightly addicted...but don't judge me...because it's my birthday.

So today I want to share things...that...I...want.

Yep...nothing that may appeal to other people just "gimme gimme gimme that" items on my list.

PS - I am 28 today officially at 9:10 pm.

I want this shirt so bad!!! "I'll bury you"...love it. BUT I can't bring myself to spend 20 bucks on it.

This dress - Polka dots...that's all I have to say about that.

These shoes...in every color...you guys they are 28 bucks.

The New York City Ballet collection of polishes from OPI...so so pretty and feminine. It's the closet I'll ever be to a ballerina!

Last but not least...this pretty perfect Nook Tablet cover...while I love my current cover I can't help but want to switch it up for this little intergalactic gem.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed coming along with me on my little window shopping birthday spree!

I will talk to you soon and thanks again for stopping in today :)

Friday Finds - Not Really Though...

Friday, June 15, 2012

I've decided to put off the finds until tomorrow and make it a Birthday Finds list...technically I could do that today but I'd rather have it on the actual DAY of my birthday :)

So not much to see here...just a little note to come by tomorrow and celebrate with me!

Talk to you soon!

Friday Finds - Sangria, Books, and Bottles

Friday, June 8, 2012

Hey strangers...sorry I haven't been around here since Monday. I've been in a bit of a funk and just kind of shut down a bit. As in...have been less social than I normally am. Sometimes I think...why in the world would anyone want to read what I type??

Usually the more stressed I am at work...the more I shut down so it was just one of those weeks!

But this weekend two exciting things are happening.

First...I have a hair appointment on Saturday and that's always nice. I've been trying my patience and attempting to grow my hair out...every time I get my hair done I have to fight myself to NOT chop it off.

And the MOST exciting thing....this Sunday our 2 year anniversary...pre-marriage anniversary!

We'll be celebrating at the restaurant we had our first date at...fish taco's and margarita's are in my future. Yes!

Anyways...time for some finds...there are a few more than normal because I couldn't narrow it down.

Soooo...is it too late to move the location of the wedding...to Japan.

Speaking of the wedding. This little yummy beauty is a sangria...which we will have as the "drink" for the reception. It was my one beverage request...sangria!

source

I...want...these. Yes those exact bookcases. They are mismatched perfection.

source

If you haven't read The Mortal Instruments books yet...I highly recommend you do. I just finished Book Five yesterday and now must wait yet again for the next book! PS - it is in the process of being made into a movie.

source

Well this is just the cutest knot I've ever seen. Maybe new age sailors are learning how to make THESE knots instead of the ol' boring ones.

source

Cutest idea EVER...'nuff said. (PS - those are my wedding colors - white and yellow)

source

Lastly...I want to live here. ASAP.

source

That's it for this week. See anything you like? This weeks finds make me smile and that is always a good thing.

What are your plans for the weekend?

PS - you can join me in my weekend fun on twitter/instagram!

Talk to you soon!

Friday Finds - 'Tis the Season and a Winner!

Friday, June 1, 2012

'Tis the hurricane season that is.

I get so grumpy when it's constantly raining AND I have to drive half an hour home in it from work. Oh well. I will celebrate the not so celebratory season today with rain related finds!

********************************

But first...the winner of giveaway is...comment #3 which belongs to Courtney Erin!!! I used good ol' random.org to choose the winner. Courtney - Kat will be contacting you about the next steps for you to get your print!

********************************

Time for some rain inspired goodies!

These hand painted flats are so darn adorable. The flats on their own are super cute but add the rainbow/clouds...over the moon cute.

source

Eeeek! So cute...and affordable. Earrings win.

source

This lovely rain boot print is from a wedding photo shoot...love it. It's gorgeous. And makes me want rain boots.

source

I love everything about this print...I want to hang it on the itty bitty bit of space in my master bedroom...but I can't find the source!

source(?)

The ONLY hurricane I want to come face to face with :)

source

So any plans for the weekend?

I'm trying to conserve all the gas I can so hopefully I won't be straying too far from my homestead. I am going to see The Buddy Holly Story on Saturday with the fiance and my parents. I'll have to make sure to take photos.

Talk to you soon!

Friday Finds - Samoa Cake, Tie Dye, and Hot Air Balloons

Friday, May 25, 2012

Hey everyone!

How was your week? I've stayed up SO late this entire week I'm amazed I'm still making sense when I speak. Then again...I may THINK I'm making sense...but really talking gibberish. It's okay...as long as it sounds good to me.

Here's hoping more sleep is in my future this weekend. I WILL be seeing Avengers for the second go round on Saturday afternoon!

But enough about all that mumbo jumbo...Finds Time!

*****************************************

"Will You Measure Me?" spoons - These are so cute...I may want to cook if I had them...but chances are slim. Either way...they are adorable!

I LOVE this nail tutorial!! I'm sure I'm late to the game on this one but I've never seen it before. Though it seems like it's quite a time consuming and messy project...I am dying to trying it. (that wasn't a purposeful pun I swear)

Reusable Paper Towel Set - though I'm not 100% sure how great they work but you can't deny how cute they are and what a fabulous print!

Samoa Bundt Cake - Are you KIDDING me?? My all time favorite cookie...not just girl scout cookie...but fave cookie ever. My mouth is watering looking at this...

These Lightbulb Hot Air Balloons are one of the cutest things I've ever seen...unfortunately I don't possess the patience to actually DIY this but I can at least admire them from afar.

*************************************

If you posted a Friday Finds today - leave your link - I'd love to see what you've stumbled upon this week!

And don't forget to enter the giveaway!

Friday Finds - It's No Secret....

Friday, May 18, 2012

Ladies and (the very rare gentlemen) it's no secret that I am a huge Phillip Phillips fan. It may be more of a secret since I obviously don't really post about my fangirl self on here....often.

But I'm going to keep today's "finds" short and sweet and share the most hautingly beautiful rendition of Bob Seger's song "We've Got Tonight" that Phillip performed on Wednesday. For those of you who follow the show but haven't watched last night's episode...I won't spoil the surprise for you by telling you who is in the final two!

If you have a spare 2 minutes and 45 seconds please further enable my fandom and watch :)

Talk to you soon!

PS - do you have any weekend plans? I am crossing my fingers mine consist of absolutely nothing except for making good use of my re-opened streaming Netflix account and possibly finally seeing Avengers!

Friday Finds - Special Edition

Friday, April 27, 2012

Okay so I couldn't think of anything else to title this post because ALL of the items are from one particular shop. So technically it's a "special addition" due to that little fact.

I was reading the lovely Paige's blog and she shared the most adorable item (which I don't want to share because the fiance reads my blog...and I want to get said item for him.)

Anywho, I went to the site assuming with all my internet shopping prowess that I would recognize the site, but I didn't! Shocking. Isn't it great to stumble upon a site like that?

I wanted to share some of the amazing items they have there...PS...I want pretty much everything.

Have you heard of Plasticland before?

Holy smokes...have you ever seen anything like this brush set before?? They are absolutely gorgeous!!! I need them in my life...my make up would thank me for it. PS - they come in a velvet case!

Come ON! This hot pink modern vintage cuckoo clock is fabulous. And get this...it's only 27 bucks! (there are only 2 left though!)

This perched owl night light is so friggin' cute - I immediately thought of Rachele when I laid eyes on this beauty - I may or may not become fearful of the dark now which in that case only this guy could ease my mind.

These are bowls!!! These stacking bowls would be adorable decor or be quite the beauty of a bowl to hold cereal.

Lastly, this sail away dress, is so cute!! Seriously...it's got sail boats all over it.

**************************************

Oh! And my new shoes...which I cannot express how much love I have for them.

One my my favorite shoe finds!

**************************************

So...whatcha got planned for the weekend? I'm hoping to keep it pretty low key...we shall see!

PS - I can't stop thinking about those make up brushes.

Friday Finds - Coffee Edition! And a birthday!

Friday, April 13, 2012

Good news lovelies!

I took the day off work today...and it's lovely to be sitting here watching Rachael Ray's talk show. I don't think I've ever seen it before.

You may be thinking...coffee edition? Why?

I got myself a fancy coffee machine!

If you follow me on Instagram you've seen these already so sorry for the repeat but I have to share a photo of my new BFF...Magnus. Yes...that's my coffee maker's name.
