Kaleidoscopes & Spikes

What a crazy fun print on this dress!  Definitely reminded me of the kaleidoscopes of my childhood.  It was a very powerful pattern, so I loved it more as a skirt.  I paired it with one of my favorite spring/summer tops! I told myself last night that I would NOT blog about weather every day this week, (as we experience every type of Spring weather imaginable...) So I guess I will talk about Melrose Place because I have been binge watching it on Netflix.  They just don't make back-stabbing primetime soap operas like they used to!  Everyone loves a good girl fight, cue the hair pulling and the fall in to the pool, you stole my husband's brother from me storyline. Oh wait, just me?  Feel free to leave me Netflix recs in the comment box. Also, perhaps a website for a life coach...  

Chevron & Mint

There is something about a spring breeze and breaking out my shorts and sandals that makes me want to run to the nearest restaurant patio and order a Sea Breeze.  Now while I have to continue working with rambunctious little preschoolers and wait for happy hour to come, at least I have outfits like this one to fall back on.  I love the short SHORT amount of time in Memphis in the Spring before it gets too hot here and you can integrate your light winter tops with your summery items!  It makes the wardrobe seem a bit bigger for a few weeks.  Thennnnn it's 101 degrees with 100% humidity in the shade.

Hey, bartender? Yeah, make mine a double.

Skater Dress & Statement Necklaces

Back by popular demand... the top knot!  I hardly ever ever wear my hair up for some reason... but after this post a lot of you encouraged me to put that mop up again, and I think it is growing on me.

Also, the necklace is back.  Almost the same outfit.
Take it easy on me, forgive me.  I've been off cokes and candy for almost 3 weeks and I don't know which way is up.  One thing is for certain... twirling in this dress = EPIC.

Update

VIA

I have been suddenly absent here on the blog, so I just wanted to update all of my fabulous chickens! Also, I am super happy to find all of these new faces around here.  I promise this is usually the most fun place to hang out, but things have been a little down lately.  To save everyone from the exhausting details and the confusing medical terms, it is long story short time!  My grandmother has been in the hospital (ICU) for a week and it was really scary at some times.  Prayers are a magical thing, and so are little 99 pound one kidney Gammys.  Things are steady and every small step forward is a celebration.  I hope to return to my usual merrymaking this week, but please keep me and my loving family in your thoughts and prayers. 

Want It Wednesday

Here are a handful of things I am hopelessly wanting this lovely hump day:

Dying for these shorts, and throw in that flower headband and you won't hear a peep outta me!

 I'm always down for some bubbly, but this recipe for Tangerine Sorbet Champagne Floats! 

HOLY YUM!

 Trying to eat healthy over here, so I can't wait to try this protein waffle recipe I stumbled upon! 

Gimme, gimme!

Such a great quote, I am trying to focus on my optimism these days :)

I am really, really wanting my hair to grow because I took way too long trying to do this hairstyle resulting in a gigantic failure.  One day!

Have a great hump day, my little chickens.
