What day is it? Who... am I?

If you read the title in your best Zoolander voice, it is way way funny. Right? Right.  

Truth be told, I have spent the last 48 hours highly caffeinated, super tired, and deliriously happy. Lack of sleep due to good news and exciting plans! My little baby sister (Sarah) is engaged to be married! I am so excited for her and her future husband and their sweet future together. He's lucky we love him, too! (hey, Rob!)

Today, my alma mater, THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS, plays St. Mary's at like 1:45pm! I forget how cray cray March madness can be! The whole town is cooking up excuses to leave work early as we speak. #gotigersgo

Despite my own personal wishes, I left the house this morning without my tiger blue. I guess I'm distracted by the fact that its supposed to get FREEZING tonight with a chance of snow.

Hey springtime, no body likes a tease.

Be sure to enter the group giveaway I am in with a bunch of lovely ladies.
You could win up to $330 in assorted gift cards to Etsy, Amazon, Target and Paypal! Sha-na-na! Do iiiiit. I hope to feel more like myself tomorrow after I get some much needed sleep and stop pinning wedding items. Yeah, right.

Pep(lum) Up & a GIVEAWAY!

I have loved the peplum trend since it first hit the mainstream a year or so ago, but finding a good option that I loved on me was difficult.  I tried dresses, jackets, and tops all peplum... none were great.  When Gwynnie Bee sent me this ASOS top, I was weary.. but I actually loved the Minnie Mouse vibe (so did my preschoolers) and it felt funky and fun!  Peplum, I have a feeling our love affair is just beginning. (Side note: these pics were taken pre-keratin treatment, so just imagine the hair 1400 times better, because it is)

{I am guest posting on Ten Feet Off Beale today! Go check out more merrymaking over there!}

With the big announcement by Google that they're getting rid of Google Reader, there has been a huge push to move towards Bloglovin', and it's such a fun way to follow and keep up with blogs.  So in order to help our followers move to that platform a bunch of us bloggers got together and have a HUGE giveaway to celebrate.  The response was intense, and so we ended up with 4 different gift cards at a $320 value!  Amazing!

In order to keep you from getting too intimidated by the rafflecopter we've broken it down into 4 different ones, go ahead and enter them all if you'd like! :) This also ensures you have a much higher chance of winning!  

writer's block & new shoes

Pretty much got the writer's block today, folks.  Considering that the content on the blog is never too hifalutin on the regular... I think you love me enough to forgive.  But to distract you from that, go grab some confetti (get ready...) and let's talk about my new shoes.  I finally bit the bullet and order the Tory Burch Reva flats, and I love love love them.  Also, they hurt like hell.  I gotta pull out some thick socks and break these babies in!  Pinkie pinching and heel rubbing galore! (Toss confetti!)

That was fun! Enjoy your Tuesday!

Get back, honky cat.

Over the weekend, one of my dreams came true when I went to see Sir Elton John live in concert on Saturday. We had pretty amazing seats behind the stage backstage :) ! If there was ever an occasion for a tutu, this would be it (this was actually my New Year's Dress that never got photographed!)  We walked to Beale Street before the concert for a bite to eat, amid a ton of pre-St. Patrick's Day revelers.  The evening was a true merrymaking success when as a finale Elton and I sang a duet to "Your Song".  Fun was had by all. Side note: the title of this post is one of my favorite Elton songs, which he did not play.  I will forgive him because he provided a nonstop dance party for 2.5 hours.  

 Running in to two of my favorite bloggers downtown? Extra win for the weekend!

Laura (middle) and Colleen aka my blogging soul mates.

Enjoy your Monday, it is back to work for my as Spring Break is now behind us.  Wish me luck and no one mess with me until I have had my venti iced hazelnut macchiato, mmmkay?
