#WIWTW: Week 13 | Blogmas 13, 2015
Ladies Weekend!
This past weekend I spent some quality time with so many of the special ladies in my life. Friday night I went out with some girlfriends to celebrate a 24th birthday. We did a little bit of bar hopping & a lot of catching up!
I don’t get to see these pretty faces as often as I’d like, so nights that we have one another’s undivided attention mean the world to me! 🙂
Random throwback:
I spent the night at my parents house because on Saturday morning we were waking up extra early for a family shopping trip with all of my Aunts, and my lady cousins.
We had a great day together! We did some Christmas shopping, and enjoyed a lovely lunch . Every time we went into a store with baby clothes ALL of us couldn’t help but pick out the cutest baby outfits! We have serious baby fever – someone in the family needs to have a baby stat…maybe get married first lol!
The past few years I’ve become more adamant about spending time with my family. I would rather spend my day in their company than anything. I’m blessed to not only know, but be related to such beautiful people – all of my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc. are kind, warm hearted, supportive, absolutely hysterical, and simply beautiful inside and out. I wouldn’t trade them for the world!
Later that night I celebrated my sorority’s 10 year anniversary! I loved being a member of the Iota Delta chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma when I was in college. My greatest friends and memories from those four years are due to my sisters. People love to knock greek life, but unless you’ve experienced the sisterhood and the bond that stems from being part of a Pan-hel organization, it’s nearly impossible to explain.
It was awesome to all be in the same room & reminisce.
This obviously calls for some throwbacks:
Well that was depressing – and I barely put a dent in it. So many fun times. 🙂
Here are some pictures from Saturday’s 10 year reunion:
I wore a pleated cream skirt with a black Forever 21 button down shirt, black tights, double buckled black suede pumps, and a gold plated collar necklace.
It was a great weekend. I love playing catch-up with people I haven’t seen in a while!
What were you up to this past weekend? Anything exciting? 🙂
Fall Shoe Shopping
I did some serious Fall shopping a couple of weeks ago, included in that spree was some shoe shopping. I went to Mandees; I hadn’t been there in a while, but they are always good for finding fabulous, and affordable shoes! Lucky for me, they were having a buy one, get one half off sale, so I decided to stock up for the season!
Let me start by sharing some depressing news…lately I’ve been having a harder time wearing heels, my feet just don’t enjoy them like they used to *MAJOR SIGH*. Not only do heels feel sexier and more fun than flats, but they give me an extra few inches to my already miniature 5′ .5″ self. While I’m not swearing them off altogether, I decided it was time to invest in some comfortable flats.
Fortunately, I found a few adorable pairs:
Obviously during a BOGO, I couldn’t ignore the heels! So I picked up a few pairs that will serve me well.
Naturally I had to peruse the accessories…
Mandees had so many great pumps, flats and boots! I need to get back ASAP and pick up a few other pairs I had been eyeing… something about taking multiple trips to the same store, and making multiple purchases makes spending money not as bad.
What are you wearing on your feet this season? Let me know where you found some great Fall shoes!
PS: For the mani lovers, here are my most recent:
I just changed my polish color this afternoon…stay tuned for that pic! 😉
