Wedding Recap!

That's right! I'm back in Lex & my momma is now happily married!! She is currently in a gorgy chalet in Gatlinburg with her newly acquired hubby! She has plenty of room for visitors & has invited me, my sister, & the boo & if she's not careful I just might take her up on it!

It was a beautifully simple & small wedding with only close friends & family in attendance. It was great & so the two of them. My sweet grandpa walked her down the aisle & everything!

Here are some pics of the day!

How ca-uuute are they?!

My sister, momma, & I!

New additions to my family!

Lovebirds :) So cute!

Claudia, my mom, & my Aunt V!
{These are 2 of my mom's best friends... They are the coolest ladies ever!}

Me & the boo!
{Check the shoes... Look familiar? ;)}

All in all, it was a beautiful weekend of family & love! It was great!!

I also want to take a moment & share my cute new purchases for the summer! I am beyond ready to be poolside lounging!! We will be opening the pool in our backyard very soon & I cannot wait!


Hope everyone had a great weekend!
XOXO

Momma Taught Me to Share!

So, since I have some free time, I thought I would blog about something ALL ladies must know about!

I think I heard somewhere that when you find something great, the best thing you can do is share it. I relate this saying to ya know, when someone comes up & says "Hey! I love your dress/shoes/headband/nail polish/eye shadow/whatever" & some girls I've said this to are very flattered but simply respond "Oh, thanks!" But come on girl, fill me in... I just gave you a compliment so hook a lady up! Where'd you get it?
{I must admit... I think I'm a little too quick to share, but honestly... When I find something great, that makes me look or feel great, & someone else notices, I have to share it!}

That being said, let me just fill you in on an ah-mazing website I discovered a few months ago!

www.justfab.com

Now, stop me if you've heard this one.... I was completely oblivious to this site before seeing an ad, oddly enough, on Facebook. Ya know... Those ads on the side? It said something like "All styles only $39.95" & I'm sure there was some fab shoe in the picture. Because I have a shoe shopping problem, I had to click. For some reason I had never heard of this marvelous site but since I've been using it I've noticed they have ads everywhere! They even have a commercial I just saw on the Style Network! Where the heck have I been?!

So here's the deal... You sign up at JustFab.com by answering a few survey questions about what style of shoe you prefer, {wedges, stilettos, flats, neutrals, colors, etc!} & based on your answers to the survey, which by the way you can go in & edit at any time, you get some selected styles sent to you each month in what they call your 'Boutique'! It's like walking into a massive shoe store, feeling overwhelmed, then telling the sales associate what you like & having them narrow it down for you & only you! & let me just say, I have gotten some ca-uuute shoes selected for me!

They select about 5-7 styles for you a month & you can order them or not. Literally everything on the site is $39.95 with free shipping both ways! Come on now, that's not bad! They even have purses, handbags, & clutches for you to select from... All $39.95 as well! They even sell inserts for all of us ladies that have to withstand a long day of Keeneland tailgates & gambling! Or even us ladies who substitute teach & refuse to settle for flats ;)

& I know what you're thinking... What's the catch? I'll be really honest, because JustFab doesn't pay me, the catch is that you have to give a card number when you sign up. You have to either choose a shoe/bag/whatever before the 5th of each month, or they'll automatically charge you $39.95 for no good reason. BUT! They send you an e-mail the first of the month, to let you know you have a brand new boutique available, & before the 5th to remind you! So if you don't want your card charged for nothing, just go to your boutique, click 'Skip This Month' & you're golden! & the beautiful thing? Just because you choose to 'skip' that month, doesn't mean you can't go back in later & pick a lil' somethin' up!

I love it, personally. I picked these little pups up last month :)

How gorgy?! I refer to the color as a 'dusty pink' & I think they are purrr-fect for some spring & summer fun!

I hope some of you ladies benefit from my little 'share night' & find some great shoes & bags!



Hope you all have a great rest of the week & weekend!
I'm off to create lists & prepare for a wedding weekend for my sweet momma!!
Pics of the festivities to follow:)
XO!!

Let's Catch Up!

I am the worst blogger lately! I have just been too busy to sit down & blog!!

But let's catch up, shall we?

First things first... My heart is breaking for my KY BBall boys! I'm still sad, 2 days later, we didn't win. BUT! I am so incredibly proud of these boys & all they've accomplished this season. It was a great season... They all grew as a team & I just want to give Coach Cal a big ole smooch for getting this program back to where it should be! It's tradition & Cal gets it!!

In honor of the game & my friend's birthday on Saturday night, yours truly hosted a little partay! There was yummy food, blue & white decor absolutely everywhere, & of course a few drinky poos! Because I've never truly had a very college-y house party, I made blue jello shots for the occasion!

Go Cats!!

The boo & his bro got their JORTS on!!

Again, I am so sad we lost, but so proud of how far the Cats have come!! Even Jay-Z was impressed after we beat UNC!!


Love him... He's so Fuh-LyyY!
But have you heard? He's evidently getting fined for being there! Because he owns the Nets, he was accused of recruiting the not-yet-draft-eligible kiddos. Psh... Like Jay Z is going to take time out of his ballin' schedule to actually go recruit.
& let's all just take note of how lucky these boys are to have this picture. Get it framed asap boys!

This week is going to be a busy one, so let me just apologize in advance for when I go bloggy MIA. My mom is getting married THIS Saturday!! Those of us in the family who are actually still left in Lex & nearby (my sister & I) are loading up the car & heading down to Eastern KY on Thursday for the event!! I will be sure to take many pics & do a follow-up post when I return!

But for now, I'm off to worky!
XOXO!!
