Hide and Seek

Oh, here I am! If you were looking for me last week you'll notice from my absence that it took me nearly a clear week to recover from Beale Street Music Fest 2013. The bands, the beverages, the fun with my friends in the muck and the mud.... Exhausting. I can't wait to post super belated posts!

Photo cred here, from Memphis Magazine. Fun article.

I just wanted to get a shoutout in for my Memphis Grizzlies! Way back at the beginning of May, I mentioned we were kicking arse in the playoffs and we are still hanging in there!

Be sure you are following my merrymaking on Instagram for up to the minute shenanigans. I hope to get a post and a beauty giveaway up before the week is out! Exxxciting!!!

My little chickens, have the best day everrrrr.

Rise and #Grind

Not a lot of brain activity happening over here today. Maybe it was the staying up til midnight watching the Memphis Grizzlies game!?? But in the end TOTALLY WORTH IT because we pulled out a win!!! Good thing I've already taken off work on Friday to get downtown because it is going to be a center of crazy awesomeness. I have said all of this to say... that I don't even know which way is up until I finish this quad latte.

Also, I am wearing clothes.

(I had to double check.)

Happy Hump Day!

The One Where I Danced Around Main Street

dress: simply be // wedges: Nine West //

necklace: groupdealz // dancing partner: not pictured

I had some requests for outfit details from yesterday's catchup post. I am always happy to oblige, yet when I found all of these gems snapped on my iPhone from a friend... I couldn't keep them hidden. Who am I to withhold behind the scenes gold like this?!

 

Okay, yeah, sorry mom.

Merry Mondays

The amount of selfies (hate the word, love the action) that I took this weekend should be illegal. But, I think it's okay to do it when you get new hair or new shoes, or whatever. Right!? Also, if you can't take them at Target... WHEN CAN YOU?

Daiquiris and watching the Memphis Grizzlies game downtown was so fun! Great crowd and fun surprise parades.

Memphis the musical was such a ball! We dressed up and had dinner at Bluefin on S. Main downtown then walked to the Orpheum. I am thrilled I got to see the show this time. I go back in a few weeks to see Rock of Ages.

Is it still a selfie if you include someone?!

Instagram overload at the Southern Hot Wing Festival along the banks of the Mississippi river! The weather is perfecto here right now so for once its not miserable to be outside enjoying adult beverages and good friends.

So I'm beginning this Monday even more exhausted than I was on Friday, but it was totally worth it. Four day week for me... Here we go!

Five Things

Happy happy happy Friday, folks! Here are five things rockin' this merrymaker's world today. ONE: I am planning a Great Gatsby themed bachelorette party for my little sister and we are SO excited about it! The deets are hush hush, naturally... but I love researching ideas!

TWO: 

 One of my nearest and dearest is taking me with her to see MEMPHIS at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis tomorrow! I am so excited because I am such a theatre fan, plus when a musical is based on your hometown it's always a good thing :)

THREE: The current sale on ASOS.com is seriously blowing my mind.  Really makes me wish I had not lost my debit card over the weekend, it has been the longest 7-10 business days of my life. How PERFECT would this dress be for the Great Gatsby party?!

FOUR:

 My new Netflix obsession, Hemlock Grove, is super duper grody at times... but it is a pretty decent tradeoff for the eye candy!

FIVE: 

This recipe for a Thai Shrimp Salad from Bev Cooks is making me superrrrrr hungry right now.  I may be hitting up the store this weekend to make this delicious dish on Sunday afternoon!

So what are my little chickens up to this weekend? Please do share. What things are rockin' your world, loves? Have the best weekend ever, enjoy a cocktail or two and be sure to hug the ones whom you love.
