a little retail therapy! {and good news!}

the lack of a post on friday was due to the fact that I had a sleepover with my younglife girls {which was amazing} but i was so tired {to say the least} so it was spent sleeping/relaxing. anyways-back to today. it was wonderful! some of my roommates and I met my mom and sister in nashville for some shopping! we recently got a Nordstrom's and none of us had been to it yet--so many things I wanted, but SO expensive, a girl can dream though right?! {we saw a dress for $7,800--who in their right mind would pay that?!}

the weather was beautiful and we started the day with lunch at whole foods--look at these tasty treats:

they look delicious, right?? hours of shopping later, we had to take a break {my mom could shop for days--i just can't hang with her} 

{z gallerie}

i left with some great finds and all on sale! {what could be better?} wanna see what I got? :)

 {after many recommendations, I'm trying this make-up!}

 {anthropologie, francesca's, anthropologie}

{free people--i think i may have been more excited about the bag it came in,

 it's cloth if you can't tell in the picture}

&&I promised good news in this post--details to come in the next few days, but there will be a giveaway in the near future! so keep checking in!! how did y'all spend your weekend??

dream mode.

after looking around at all your lovely blogs, i've fallen into what i'd like to call "dream mode" --y'all are always wearing the cutest clothes and it doesn't seem like styling your hair turns into WWIII {every morning}. now if you're anything like me--you take pictures in your cute clothes and when you're hair is looking good {hey--i'm aware of the tricks ;) } but i'm still in dream mode and would like to share it with you:

first off, i would buy ALL of these dresses:

{1. Thread Case  2. Ruche  3-5. ModCloth  6-9. Anthropologie}

and then i would like to go here:

i'd stay here:

{The New York Palace}

and while i was there, my hair would look something like this ;)

i would love to have that beach wave look-but unfortunately my hair is a one-trick pony so it only knows stick straight :)

ha! now obviously if i could travel ANYwhere it'd be somewhere more extravagant, but this is semi-realistic :) but enough of this--what would y'all dream about!? it's storming here so perfect time to daydream :))
