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?

Five Things

HELLO! Just wanted to drop in with a little update.  I actually had a OOTD photo shoot done, but there's a little camera issue.  As in, I can't find it sooooooooo. Here's a little glimpse in to my summer! Things I have been looking forward to, things I have been doing! Lots of merrymaking, my little chickens.

1. First of all, I am taking the end of the week off and going to ATL for an Aerosmith concert! I was raised listening to them and my mother instilled a deep, deep love in all of us.  Plus, last time we saw them- Steven Tyler held my sister during one song.  It was a big deal.  HUGE!

 2.  Phase 10! I do not know if you chickens are familiar with this addicting and competitive game, but it's pretty much a daily thing for me.  I work at a summer camp, okay? No judging.  We even took it to the bar.

3.  WEDDINGS! Summer time is just busting at the seams with people vowing their lives together.  One down, three to go!That being said, I've never met a wedding reception that I didn't like! Mazel tov!

4. BIG BROTHER! It is my favorite show of the summer.  I don't know if you watch it or not, but it is the perfect mix of The Real World and Survivor that keeps me glued to the TV three times a week.  I don't know who my favorites are right now, it is too early in the game... Give it a shot, you won't be bored!

5.  The Lumineers.  I might be late to the game, and I usually am.  BUT I AM OBSESSED! This CD is constantly on repeat on my iPhone, in my car, evvvveeerrryyyywwhhhheeerrrreee.

So pray tell, what is on your top 5 list?  Anything you want to share, please do.Hope you are staying cool and having a good summer!

At The Baggage Claim

On Friday night, I got a super cool last minute surprise of being invited to the Miranda Lambert concert!  A friend got tickets like 2 hours before show time, so we hopped in the car and went!(After an emergency dress shopping adventure)If you're not famil with the fabulously talented and undeniably country crooner...Watch this video.And then this one.I didn't get any pictures of my outfit, because I was just way too excited but here are some of my favorite from Instagram and my camera.

End of the Year dressing & BSMF pictures

{dress: ross | shoes: payless | necklace: eclectic ornaments | keeping it simple: priceless}

Maybe it's the fact that there are only 2 more weeks (after this one) left in the school year... but I am getting ready in the morning in record time.  Grabbing simple dresses and a necklace, throwing on some comfy sandals, and I am out the door.  Don't worry, I paused to intake coffee and apply BabyLips.  I have cabin fever, but I am not cray cray.

I promised I would show some pics from Music Fest this weekend, and I am not a liar.  I couldn't upload all 100 because you probably don't care that much... but here are some of my absolute positively favorite ones.  ENJOY!

gavin degraw + wind blown hair

{black skinnies: gap | feather top: dots | flats: payless | tank: LB | long necklace: gifted; other necklace:stella | watch: MK; bangles, asstd}

Last night, I went to see Gavin DeGraw at Minglewood Hall.  Here's what you need to know: As far as these pictures go, I could not stop laughing because the wind was trying to take my shirt and hair with it. I think that is pretty apparent.  Secondly, I have a serious crush on Gavin and I have for quite some time.  I think my little sister and I could sing his album start to finish (the original AND the acosutic version of Stripped)... Picked up this shirt at Dots for $9 before the concert. The print really reminds me of something Dani would L-O-V-E. I hope this cut/style of shirt doesn't become a faux pas overnight because I am investing in them like they are Google stock.

Have a great Thursday- we are ALMOST there once again.
