Saturday Finds - Hunger Games Edition
Saturday, February 18, 2012
Okay, so I'm still feeling under the weather but I have to delve into something other than being sick, hence my Saturday Finds.
I would ALSO like to say that I finished The Hunger Games series!!! Wahoooooo!!!
I was up until 2 am and had to put down my Nook with 30 pages left in Mockingjay.
I of course woke up this morning and immediately finished it. I am so relieved I don't have to be worried about reading or seeing something that spoils everything. Don't worry...I promise not to include anything today that is a spoiler.
So hunker down Hunger Games fans or soon-to-be fans...
Mellark Bakery T-shirt via RedBubble - Come on!! I need this. Now just to decide what color and type of tshirt I want. I'm leaning towards blue because of Peeta's much loved eye color but I love the black up against the "light hearted" graphic.
Hunger Games earrings via Amazon - Okay so these are not affordable by any stretch of imagination (I would never buy them based solely on the price) but I can't help but admire how FREAKING AMAZING they are.
The Hunger Games Collection via BadBitchCosmetics - AHHHHH!! A whole eyeshadow collection inspired by the Hunger Games? This ticks off two very important boxes in my life...eyeshadow and hunger games.
Gyroscope Necklace via Hot Topic - What? Yes...there is a necklace as amazing as this. It's available for pre-order (ships out next week) on the site. Yes...I have ordered it. How else am I going to navigate through the arena?
Arrow and Moss Necklace via FableandLore - Swoon! I love this! This Hunger Games inspired necklace is so perfectly earthy and strong all at the same time. <3
So have you read the books yet? Are you just starting or almost finished? If you're thinking you are probably the last person to read them...I promise you're not! I thought the same thing until I realized people are just starting to read them all over the place!
Talk to you soon!
Friday Finds - Not so much...
Friday, February 17, 2012
I'm sick!! I just cannot shake whatever is wrong with me.
I'm just SO exhausted...all the nose blowing...coughing...and sneezing has worn me out apparently.
Because of this I haven't had enough time to gather virtual finds...heck I haven't had the energy to even look for any this week!
Hopefully if I'm feeling a little more lively this weekend I'll do a belated Friday Finds.
Until then...I leave you with this - Yep...me feeling yucky.
Talk to you soon (hopefully!)
Engagement Dinner Photos!
Thursday, February 16, 2012
Well if you read yesterday's post or follow me on Twitter you know that I met my future-in-laws last night and we ALL (my parents, Mark's parents, and us!) went to dinner for an Engagement Dinner. As my mom says it was the "seal the deal" dinner.
PS - It was a SUCCESS!!!
First let me say my mom's camera is a pain in the butt. Apparently it prefers to take blurry photos. The first photo would've been such a cute photo...if we didn't look like ghosts caught on film.
Here we are arriving at the restaurant...my mom was aimed and ready with the camera! Check out the lady's face in the right hand corner...spooky.
Mark just would not stop talking during the photos!! And because of that...he gets moments such as this captured.
My mom bought us candles with our initials of our last names on them. My now current intial...soon to be a "C" in the not too distant future!
I LOVE these pillows. The gifts were all about us being ourselves but together as one!
Ta Da!!!! Left side - My mom, step dad, and Mark's step mom. Right side - Me (duh!), Mark, and his dad!
I know this is a shorty shorty short post but I just wanted to share that I made it out of the meeting in one piece...and a full belly.
(I love a mexican restaurant with a vegetarian portion of the menu!)
Talk to you soon!
Random Wednesday #13
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Random photos via a fancy not so fancy collage. I want to use picnik for all it's worth before it's gone...so I made a collage of my random photos.
This week all my photos are from Instagram! Some of them are from the February Photo a Day Challenge and some aren't. SO if you follow me on Instagram...this will be a super boring random set of photos. Since I got rid of my iphone I don't get to use instagram like I did before. It's somewhat of a hassle using my ipod but I try to because I like looking back at the photos I upload. : )
PS - today I will be meeting my fiance's dad and stepmom tonight!! Ahhhhhh!!! (They're visiting from Colorado) Not just that panic attack will ensue...but my parents will be taking us ALL out for an engagement dinner. AHHHHHH! I'm not panicking...nope.
Okay...just breathe. So without further adieu...photo time!
Photos from Left to Right -
-My glasses bounty from Coastal Lenses - I couldn't stop with just one pair!! <3
-A wedding dress that had my heart fluttering. It's a tea length dress but you can't tell because of how tiny instagram photos are.
-A peek into my garment closet - PS - I WILL be starting a "shop my closet" soon. I've got to clear out dresses that just don't fit anymore!
-My sweet Trixie. She brings so much happiness to my cat loving heart when she holds on to my arm when she's sleeping.
-Me at work - lost in a day dream
-That would be my front door...that still has my DIY Christmas wreath on it!
-A second pair of glasses from the first photo : ) I love the little heart detail.
- Lastly, my ninja kitty Benny, he thinks I can't see him so he kept putting his paws on my head!
Okay, so wish me luck on my dinner this evening, I will need every bit of luck I can get to come off even slightly "normal".
Oh! And have you placed any orders with Coastal before? What did you get? They offer a "first pair free" coupon if you've never ordered before. Which is of course what lured me there!

What I Wore - *Lipstick Red and Hiding Kitties*
Monday, February 13, 2012
Well ladies, I'm sick, last Friday I started feeling under the weather then it hit me hard out of nowhere the later it got. So I actually typed this up yesterday because chances are good I am passed out right now.
Even though I wasn't up to my normal kickin' butt and taking names speed I still did meet up with my mom this weekend to get the ball rolling on the wedding! Man oh man...no wonder they say to have at least a year to plan a wedding. We still need a location! We'll be scouting out a few in the upcoming week or so. If you're married or getting married...did you do an outside ceremony or inside? What time of year did you tie the knot?
Alrighty, outfit time!
Can you tell I'm facing the sun with those lovely squinted "I can't see" eyes?
It's hard to see far away, sneaky hiding cats, but the dress is COVERED with cats and yarn balls!
Hey there...that girl's engaged! :p
LOVE my shoes!
Yes...I usually take a running start.
And I laugh all the way up to the end.
Wears Head to Toe -
Necklace - DreamAddict - One of my favorite long necklaces and OF COURSE it's modeled after the Vampire Diaries (moonstone people!)
Cardigan - Target (my oldest and all time favorite cardigan)
Dress - ModCloth
Belt - thrifted
Tights - Foot Traffic
Shoes - GoJane
This is a go to dress of mine. It's easy to throw on and can be paired with any color tights so it can fit my mood really easy. You gotta love a dress like that. Do you have a go to dress?
Talk to you soon!
