Closet Cabin Fever

 skirt: talbots via tj maxx // vest: old navy // button-up and bag: target // 

booties: lane bryant // necklace & bracelet: gifts

 When I put this look together and looked in the mirror, my first thought was that I looked like a paleontologist.  Is it the scholarly socks?  Okay, okay, so maybe I don't know exactly that they wear, but I could fit in at a Jurassic Park themed party, right?   It's the vest. Can I make that happen? (Searching Pinterest now...)

I am so over winter that I am rocking bare legs despite the cold and 30% chance of snow.  Crazy, I know, but I am so tired of tights and the frustrating static electricity that goes along with it.  I am experiencing Closet Cabin Fever! I am ready to rock my frocks and booties without threat of frostbite.  I live for leggings most of the time, but I am just so OVER them.  I kind of always get restless and rush in to the next season before the weather begins to properly cooperate!  So, in true Bekah fashion I am already scouring websites and store shelves for must-have items for the approaching Spring.  Keep your merrymaking eyes peeled for a round-up in the coming few days!  Am I the only one experiencing Closet Cabin Fever?!  If you live somewhere with temperatures above 60 degrees... HUSH IT and have a daiquiri for me!

A few days early for Valentine's Day, but what can I say... I love the color scheme, hate the holiday.  I'm actually working this February 14th, but once I get off I will be kicking back with some vino, a delicious, cheesy supreme pizza and House of Cards season 2 on Netflix with all the happiness and drugstore candy that strikes my fancy.  This is definitely my got-to dress that I wear around this time of year, check out last year.  A different variation a year later, but still the same indifference for the holiday.  What are your Valentine's weekend plans?  What do you like on your pizza?

Olympics Spirit & Skater Skirts

 skater skirt: asos // booties: dolce vita // sweater: thrifted // 

necklace: accessory auctions // clutch: navoh

Decided to throw on my favorite skater skirt, just in time to catch the figure skating on the Winter Olympics!  it is definitely my favorite sport to watch!  I can barely walk on rainy streets, much less balance on two blades on frozen water-so this is the closest to a triple toe loop as I will ever get.  I do love Ashley Wagner though! How cute it she?  Love the girl's lip color.

Are you following the Olympic events at all? I am catching a couple a night, and I hate the time zone difference, but I love rooting for the events!  The women's snowboarding was intense, and the words "ice dancing" just sound like the most fun ever.  I always forget how much I love the Olympics until they are here.  I'm all for the rhinestones and ruffles of a good skating outfit!  Have a fabulous Monday!

Friday Favorites!

TGIF, my chicky chicks! We made it! I am so exhausted.  I know I have no room to complain about weather since we are not trudging through snow and such, but this FREEZING weather and no sunshine is really starting to get to me.  

Here are a few things that are brightening my never-ending winter blues:

Sonia Kashuk body wash / (The smell of grapefruit wins me over every time!) 

Aidy Bryant / my favorite SNL cast member, I love her! (The Girlfriend Talk Show!)

Mossimo Fringe Tote / I recently made this purchase and I love element of fun it adds!

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream / (the coverage is the best I've tried!) 

Vodka Sodas / my new drink of choice when margaritas cannot be found (!!!!!) 

Everything Is Perfect When You're A Liar by Kelly Oxford / (hilarious read) 

Julep nail polish / (all of it! I love being a Maven!!)

What are your favorite items to get you through these rough days? 

And don't say the beach, because that's NO fair!

Merry weekend to you!

Girls & Grizzlies

First, I just want to say thanks a merrymillion to everyone who commented, messaged, tweeted, and reached out to me after yesterday's post.  It is great to know I am not the only one who dreaded the enivitable and I know it is opening myself up for such a great future in blogging.  Now, if you really love me you will continue to excuse this cold weather almost-dusk horrible quality of pictures along with some super fuzzy ones, right?!  You know you reallllly love me, right?

Here is some wild news you just may not know about me! I am a contest addict.  If I see a twitter contest, a Facebook share it to win it, or a radio station call in... you bet your sweet Aunt Sally I will do my best to win that mofo.  I guess the fact that I have racked up some pretty sweet prizes (second row Sheryl Crow, an Xbox 360, theatre tickets, etc) keeps me going at it again and again.  I didn't even remember entering a contest for sweet Memphis Grizz tickets and free dinner and drinks at a local downtown restaurant but lo and behold! I get a call telling me I won a few weeks ago and I was FLOORED!  I took my red-headed sister and we had such a good time.  We stuffed our faces with fried food and local brews.  And almost immediately regretted it, but we were soon focused on cheering our hometown boys.  Sadly, they lost, but it was such an experience to have great seats and even better company.  As you can see from the sign above, I kept my section cheering until the final buzzer!

I love dressing up a t-shirt!  I wanted to bring out a tulle skirt or two, but decided it was best in this freezing weather to keep it a bit more casual.  Yes, casual for me is normally a dress so this was perfect!  I love my new Grizz shirt I picked up in anticipation of this night, it has a soft vintage feel and I'm so happy with it.  Who says you can't be girlie and enjoy a beer and a bball game!?

I may be able to win things, but I'm completely incapable of catching t-shirts flying from a cannon... 

WHAT IS WITH THAT?

(my boys, drinking one for my homies, and my grizz nails!)
