Playing Catch Up...

Hey y'all!!

I have been M.I.A for quite for a few days. I just got back last Thursday from a week in my good, ole, Kentucky home :) Work took me there but I was able to spend lots of time with my family as well and it was GREAT!!

AS much as I loved being in KY and seeing friends and family, it was nice to get back to Connecticut and see my hubby :) Missed him lots while I was gone. I flew in late Thursday night and was looking forward to a fun weekend together.

Friday was a lazy day... I got absolutely nothing done other than some reading and catching up on my sleep. I was super busy while I was in KY and I think I can count on one hand how much sleep I got while I was home! Friday night was definitely a relaxed evening with B... it consisted of Chinese takeout and movies on the couch. Perfection!

We were planning on getting up early Saturday morning and heading into NYC but it was rainy and yucky so we decided to stay around New Haven instead. We woke up early and had a breakfast date and then did a little shopping. I found some new finds this weekend that I am really excited about:

Love these earring from Anthropologie. I love them! I also found a cute shirt in the "sale"section but I didn't take a a pic of it...eh...oh well!

I'm loving my new makeup remover from Benefit. I had been using some stuff from NARS but I thought it was a little too oily. Love this stuff and I love the packaging. I know... typical consumer but presentation is everything ;)

However... I do love my new foundation from NARS. Not too heavy and a little covers a lot.

Sunday was an AWESOME day!!

B and I went to our first clambake and it was yummy!! Clams, lobster, corn, potatoes, clam chowder, hamburgers, hot dogs,.... it was a great afternoon. The radiology department hosted the event and I'm so glad we went. It was supposed to be rainy that afternoon but the sun was out and it was the perfect way to spend a day by the beach.

I'm super happy to be back home with my hubby and feeling very grateful for our CT life!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and an even Monday :)

Fun Finds

Ladies, I'm so excited about my new purchases today!

I know, I know... I should be packing but this gal had to take a break and of course, where do I find myself?!?! On the computer... browsing Marley Lilly.

Oops!!

I've been "oohing" and "ahhing" over most of their items and here is what I found today:

These cute koozies. Mine will be hot pink with my initials in neon green. I can't wait to use it for those days at the beach and at football games!

I also got a pair of their croakies. These are also hot pink with my initials in neon green.

Can you tell what my two fav colors are?!?!

haha

There were a million other things that were just too cute but this gal has a budget ;)

Can't wait to get my lil' package of goodies.

Hope y'all had a great Monday!

xoxo

Fun Finds

This gal is Sicky McSickerson :(

I woke up with a sore throat, coughing, and no voice!

Glad it didn't hold me back from doing some shopping this past weekend haha ;)

I love wondering aimlessly through the aisles at Sephora and Ulta. I go in with the intention of buying one or two items and I leave adding 500 more things to my wish list. Not good, haha!

Here's some things that I found this weekend that I'm really liking...

A girl can never have too much nail polish ;) I bought two new colors this weekend. Pink-ing of You by OPI and Barefoot and Topless by Essie.

I love when you're at the beach and you've been in the sun and ocean all day. Your hair gets that thick, texturized feel and my waves go on for days. This has all that in a bottle. LOVE!! It's called Beach Blow by blow. It's amazing... my sis got some too ;)

This item is next on my "wish list". Too Faced lip gloss in "Peek A Boo".

And... I'm in love with this perfume. A girl can never go wrong with Chanel!

A few blogs ago I was stressing about closet space in our new apartment. Slowly but surely we are coming up with some solutions. Thankful!

B and I have decided to sell our dresser so that we can get this:

We're getting this new dresser so that it matches this:

Perfect to hang my dresses, skirts, and hang a shoe rack. My pj's and other lady items will go in the drawers below. All that's left in the real closet... my shirts and pants. This frees up A LOT of space for B to store all his clothes... yay!

While doing some browsing on IKEA we found a new couch for our place and a new coffee table. All reasonably priced. But.. we're only getting these if we sell our couch and coffee table that we have now. What we have now just won't work in our new space... BIG funiture, small space. We're happy with we've found and know that we can utilize it wherever we move next and once we buy a home.

I absolutely adore IKEA. They really have everything! I'm excited since there is one only a few blocks away from us, in CT.

I'm sure my "wish list" will continue to grow ;)

Happy Monday y'all!! This girl is going to take a nap and take some meds ;)
