If you follow me in Instagram then you've captured a little

glimpse into my busy last few days.  Lots of traveling and events

have unfortunately kept me from getting you some real outfit photos

for you. I hope this blurry iPhone pic from yesterday will get us 

through until my life slows down!  Until then, here's a little

 recap of my busy last few days!

Thursday 6.27: Dinner with Chioma from

Chioma's Evolution of Style and Whitley from Simply Whit

in a Sequined Life!   I just loved spending time with these

fabulous Lexington girls!  I really think we could've 

talked fashion and blogging all night long!

Friday 6.28: My BFF's Birthday!  Ricky turned 

28 and once I got off work we headed out to watch

Man of Steel.  While it wasn't my favorite superhero

movie by any means, but it was definitely a great 

movie!  I totally recommend checking it out!

Saturday 6.29: Fall Out Boy!  Tyler and I

took Ricky on a little weekend getaway to Indy 

for a FOB concert!  They really put on a fantastic

show!  Tyler counted this concert as his 14th time

seeing them (just mine and Ricky's 2nd!) and he 

thinks it was the best they've ever sounded!

Sunday 6.30: Travel!  We had a very 

leisurely Sunday so after a late breakfast we picked

up a few can'tlivewithout pieces at Loft and H&M 

before we hit the road.  Our trip home was not complete

until we made a trip by the J.Crew Factory store in 

Edinburgh and *gasp* I didn't buy anything!  I

promise I'm trying really hard to be good!

Monday 7.1: Pageant!  I traveled to 

Lincoln County, Kentucky to help/support my

friend Hailey in her pageant and I'm happy to report

that she brought home the crown!  The photo above

is my outfit from the pageant featuring my new Loft

 skirt and H&M hat.  Yes, you're going to be seeing

 a LOT of that hat. Sorry in advance! ;)

Now to catch up on all the laundry! 

Hope you're all having a wonderful week!!

Keep up with Opal & Violet!

What do you wear to a baseball game when it finally feels like

Spring and you really don't even like baseball?  Chambray of course!

Our local minor league baseball team, the Lexington Legends, hosted 

their opening game last night and a big group of us from work went! We

dressed a large group of the staff in tuxedos and in turn we were given an

awesome suite to enjoy the game!  It was definitely a great start to my 

week!  I hope all of yours is off to an equally great start!!

Tyler and I spent Friday night with our besties playing WiiU games

and exchanging belated Christmas presents.  We have a couple of Christmas 

traditions with our friends: we always have our Christmas party in January & we always

have a themed exchange.  Only the girls exchange and each year we pick a different item 

- earrings, underwear, Christmas ornament, etc - and we buy one of each for each girl. This year we chose scarves so each of us left with 3 fab ones at the end of the night!  The

snood I'm wearing in the picture was the one I wore to the party.  Yes, I took the

 theme to the extreme!  Nothing wrong with that, right?!  I hope you all 

had an amazing weekend too!

This one is short and sweet today, folks.  

My weekend was fairly uneventful (we all need those sometimes 

don't we?!) so the only pics I got to snap for you were these.  I threw this on

after work yesterday for dinner at Chuy's with my best guys: my husband, 

Tyler, and our BFF, Ricky.  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend - 

eventful or not!  I'll see you back here tomorrow!

I'm so excited that I finally made it out to Keeneland!

We braved the cold weather on Saturday to place a couple bets, spend time with 

friends, and get some of the most yummy hot chocolate I've ever had!  Seriously!! 

While I was bummed about the weather being so cold, the light at the end of the

 tunnel for me was knowing I would get to indulge in that fabulous hot chocolate! 

When I first started planning my outfit for the day, 

I had no idea it was going to get so cold, so I just kept adding layers and layers 

to my look.  This is basically the most clothes I've ever worn at one time!  And then 

I started adding on the jewelry and just couldn't stop!  I just had to wear my new

Versona Accessories necklace that I purchased with the gift card I won over at

Lex What Wear!  I hadn't heard of this amazing new store that opened in the Hamburg

 area here in Lexington until I saw the giveaway on LWW and, you guys, this store is amazing!! There are so many incredible pieces.  I couldn't stop with just using my gift 

card; I also bought 2other necklaces and 3 bracelets (2 of the bracelets are pictured with

 my watch).  Everything is so reasonably priced (statement necklaces for $10, $15, & $25!!) - it's definitely a new MUST on my shopping excursions!! 

Thanks again, Lex What Wear!!

Yesterday was a fabulous day off work that I was lucky to share with the hubby.  

We ran a few errands and picked up a few fall essentials.  So now that I have the perfect denim jacket (you'll see soon!) and am stocked up on tights, I'm only lacking the perfect pair of boots to top off my fall wardrobe.  I've been craving these Frye boots and it looks like I might bite the bullet any day.  I'll keep you posted!
