leopard print + scary movies

{leggings, dress, leopard top: tj maxx | boots: payless | necklace: gift | watch: michael kors}

Still waiting for that cool weather. Still dressing like it is not 89 degrees.  Ha.

I wore this for Sunday brunch and errands.  Today is actually supposed to be the start of rain and a cold front.  I know, I know you are thinking what crazy person likes the rain.  I love the rain, especially when I am inside :)

My suede boots are begging for me to wear them, let's keep our fingers crossed that they see some fresh air this week.  On a non-weather related note:  I am so stinkin' pumped for this upcoming weekend.  I have so many lovely events to look forward to!

1. Paranormal Activity 3: Watch trailer here. Yes, I am obsessed.  Yes, I love scary movies.  Yes, I have gone to the past two midnight showings (PA1 and PA2). I won't be able to do the whole midnight thing Thursday (hello, teacher!!??) BUT I will be seeing the first showing I can on Friday.  I don't care if they never stop making sequels/prequels.  I can't get enough.

2. Haunted Corn Maze:  We have a pretty nifty corn maze at the Agricenter International here in Memphis and on the weekends it is haunted.  Gotta get my scare on!  Better stick to shoes with straps!

3. LIVE MUSIC! My brother's band has a show this weekend at the Buccaneer, the first with their new lead singer.  I am very excited to spend some time with some good people!

4. River Arts Fest: This year I am volunteering at this festival!  I am very excited because it is in my favorite part of town (the Historic South Main Arts District) and I will be vending beer and wine! Follow my tweets to find out what location I am at and come see me!

Just wanted to share a little bit of my exciting life. There's plenty of non-exciting things going on too, but that's yucky.

tired mondays + boyfriend clothes

HI! How was your weekend? I didn't get enough sleep, stayed out too late, and wore very little makeup.  SO UNLIKE ME!!!!!

Pretty fun nail art, eh? They have a real Mulan-inspired color palette.

The weather was really nice on Saturday afternoon, perfect for grabbing a boyfriend tee AND boyfriend cardigan and heading to lunch & the movies with some extremely awesome people.  WHY are the most comfortable and relaxed clothes named after boyfriends? Don't know why, but I will stick with my named-after-boyfriend-clothing.  (Minus boyfriend jeans, this girl is not a fan) 

Yes, the picture above is of me cutting loose, naturally.

I hope all of my little chickens had a beautiful weekend.  It went by way way too fast.

This coming weekend is going to be full of so much merriment that I am going to use every night this week to rest up for it!  My bed, DVR, and hot tea collection better watch out: I am coming for you!

CUT LOOSE!

Can you believe it is Wednesday AGAIN?! I know, I know... it happens every week.It is my favorite day to get dressed because of Wear It Wednesday at Rachel's blog!This week is chambray, and I am a definite fan.
My sister and some friends and I took some photos at a local pizza place.Then played some mahjah pinball.  And this bad hair day is a whole 'nother story.  

plaid + pumpkins

Mama wants a pumpkin! Okay, so I may hate pumpkin flavored things but I do love the look of the orange things.  My sister and I ventured out to a new pumpkin patch near our house and to our surprise it was an ACTUAL PATCH! Maybe this exists everywhere where you live, but I am used to tents beside parking lots selling pumpkins and Christmas trees.
LOVED IT!The scenery was beautiful and I found a cute little pumpy-kin and I named it Poppy.Poppy the Pumpkin._____________________________________________________________________________
