    10 on Tuesday: Long Hair Edition

    I’m so excited to linking up for Karli’s first 10 on Tuesday so let’s get right to it. 10 Reasons I Hate Having Long Hair 1. Blowing drying it takes foorreevveeerrr. 2. I’m not one of those girls who has mastered the cute messy bun. 3. Or the top knot. 4. I always run out of conditioner first. 5. So much hair in the shower, in my brush, and I’m sure clogging our drains. 6. No matter how long it gets, it’s never long enough to do a side fishtail braid. How do you girls do it? 7. Highlighting & coloring takes 3x as long and costs 2x as much. 8. Static.…

    Not Another Hunter Repeat

    So last year I told my husband that I wanted a pair of Hunter rain boots for Christmas. I told him this in October and November and then come December I was starting to get nervous. Long story short, by the time he tried to order the boots Nordstrom was sold out, Zappos, Hunter.com you name it. He ended up buying them off Amazon from a place in the UK but they delivered the wrong size and I ultimately had to send them back which was an ordeal in itself since they were from another country. After Christmas, some stores had them back in stock and I ended up getting…

    Buy this Bootie {Look-A-Like TOMS Wedges}

    You guys. I have been obsessed with these Tom’s wedges for several months now. At $88, they’re not that expensive, but for something pretty trendy I didn’t want to spend quite that much.  Imagine my excitement when I saw my friend Alissa in an almost identical pair and she told me they were from… KMART!! Can you believe it? KMart has really stepped up their game.  I promptly ordered the nude pair before Christmas and they happened to be on sale so with tax and shipping it came to $18. Here’s a picture of my actual pair. Not only are these booties cute, but they are SO comfortable! I’m going to be ordering the black…

    Thoughts on Thursday: Fall Clothing

    When I say need, I mean need in the first-world sense of the word. Last fall I was 3 months postpartum and I was just happy to be wearing something other than maternity clothes. Since then I’ve bought a few things here and there but I’m pretty burnt out on my current wardrobe. We’re still saving for our new house and a few trips we have planned so a full on shopping extravaganza isn’t in the cards. However, this weekend I plan on picking up a few things that I can mix into my closet. On the top of my list? Cardigans in all the great fall colors. I’ve been…
