Song Of The Week: Bait a Hook

{via}

best way to describe my attitude today.  had a great weekend, and yet feeling just meh, today.  i'm blaming the gloomy gray outside my window. 

which is why i am thankful for some good ole country music to help kick me out of my funk. 

justin moore's "bait a hook" does just that.

perhaps it was the abundance of stagecoach photos on facebook my friends posted, but all i really want to listen to today is some country.  this song makes me laugh with lyrics like,

"I heard he's got a Prius, 'cause he's into bein' green
My buddies said he saw y'all, eatin' that sushi stuff"

maybe i have been living in l.a. too long but this guys doesn't sound so bad to me?

good fun country music.  helps turn my meh into a yay!

Forever Frugal Friday ~ Stripes & Scallops

necklace/tank/heels/skirt

i am majorly loving the scallop lace trend that i see everywhere.  combine that with some stripes that i am still addicted to from last year, some nude heels and a statement necklace and i have a perfect little friday or saturday night outfit. 

now where to go...

Song Of The Week: Not Your Fault

my roomie was a lucky lady and got to attend coachella and see AWOLNATION live which made me very jelly.  i've said it before and i'll say it again, very rarely do i enjoy an album from beginning to end, but this one satisfies me from start to finish. 

in fact i have been listening to the album all week long and my current fave is "not your fault", which makes me want to run as fast as possible on the treadmill.  other goodies are "jump on my shoulders", and "dirty filthy soul" but seriously all the songs are so good, so good!

if you like the song above, be sure to listen to their album megalithic symphony  on spotify.  i am pretty sure you won't regret it.

 it should also be known that i started fifty shades of grey today at lunch.  the main character attends school at wsu-vancouver.  liking the book already...

Happy {Friend} Weekend

i am also so happy that i get to hang with mrs. r two weekends in a row, see baby ollie and get a haircut.  woot woot for awesome weekends!

ciao bellas!

Marge's Whistler Wonderland

our international bachelorette party started with a bang - quite literally when my plane was struck by lightening leaving l.a. but after a quick plane change we were whistler bound for margie's celebration. 

we were blessed with incredible weather, a lodge that slept 22 and a black bear to boot in our backyard.  shenanigans ensued, flipcup and hand waves were all the rage.  and i realized just how much i love me some fireball with these group of gals. 

a recap of the weekend that was as i look forward to the weekend ahead in may!

olympics rings were awesome

some of us girls out exploring the village

the gorgeous bride to be

so happy i got to see mrs r!

best darn meat and cheese preparers out there!

54 reunited and it felt so good

a surprise visit from mrs. mullin all the way from boston!

the glorious planner and bride to be

party in the front, business in the back?

my girl joat captured me "teach me how to dougie"-ing, with a random dudes beanie.  pretty sure that move isn't included on the "teach me how dougie" instructional video.  needless to say some drinks had been consumed and it was an excellent celebration!

Desperately Seeking Sully ~ Sensational Stripes

this past weekend in whistler i tried on the lululemon stride jacket above and fell instantly in love.  not much of an impulsive shopper, i thought it best to wait and pickup in the states.  dumb move.  it is no longer available and if i want to make it mine i have to buy it on ebay.  tear.

also, i am loving this topshop giant pansy stripe bodycon dress which was in 3 magazines i read over the weekend.  don't worry...sold out as well.  mother trucker. 

those two sold out striped goodies got me in an all things stripe mood and has me thinking i shouldn't delay in purchasing the stripes below.

Song Of The Week - Back In Time

{via}

whew, is monday over yet?

i had a spectacular weekend in whistler with a fab group of gals who all came together to celebrate this sweet lady.  my weekend started off with a bang...literally when my plane was struck by lightening (happy friday the 13th to me and william h. macy and pacey who were on my flight).  a quick plane change later and a two hour drive to whistler (thanks coffey) the weekend was full of laughs, food, a black bear, a police visit (not the stripper kind either), cute aussie boys and the best of memories. 

today has been a bit rough with a 7:30 am meeting and finally completing my taxes.  good news, they're done.  bad news, i owed for the first time in my life. 

i spent the day wishing i could go "back in time" and be with friends and playing flip cup.  alas, this pitbull song will have to do the trick as i watch the time tick away and bolt out of the office and straight to circuit works. 

love the sampling of "love is strange" from one of my fave scenes in dirty dancing. 

anybody else want to go back in time to the weekend?

Happy {Bachelorette} Weekend

{can't remember where i found!}

i am ecstatic about my weekend ahead!  

i'm leaving on a jet plane up to whistler with a spectacular group of ladies to celebrate marge's last few weekends as a single lady.  

wazzu crew reunited and a weekend full of memories.  doesn't get much better than that!

hope you all get a little squeeze from someone you love this weekend!

cheers and xoxo!
