First off- sorry for the abscence. I've been super sick this week thanks to a sick roommate passing on the love ( thanks J!) and doing anything besides moving off of the couch has been too much effort for me. I'm a smidge better today- enough to come in to the office- but I'm planning on leaving early to get in a solid nap. But on the bright side- it's the weekend!!
1. My super creative friend/former roommate Lauren asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding this spring. I was SO surprised and I'm SO excited and honored to celebrate with her. Fun story- we met through Craigslist when I was searching for a new roommate after living in a studio for a year that made me very, very poor. She was moving to Chicago from Atlanta right when J was moving to Atlanta from Portland and it just seemed like the perfect fit. We emailed for months before she actually moved and I knew we'd be besties before we ever met in person. It's funny how the people you least expect turn into lifelong friends!
2. I've been weirdly into this song this week. It's strange. But I love it. It's from the Arctic Monkeys new album, and it's called "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High" so there's that. But it's really catchy!
3. Speaking of Chicago, J and I are headed there in a couple of weeks for a wedding for one of my sorority sisters. It's going to be at the Drake, and it's going to be SUPER fancy and I'm at a total loss for what to wear. I want to get something that is versatile enough to wear to several of the 35464 weddings we have coming up, but still fall appropriate. These are my favorite- all from Anthropologie. Any thoughts/opinions? I'd love to hear them!
4. This has been my main diet staple this week. You should see the concoction I've been taking every night to fall asleep. And I STILL wake up at 4am coughing- yet J manages to sleep through EVERYTHING. Lucky man. I am so thankful my work is flexible enough to let me work from home!
5. Speaking of sickness, isn't in just amazing how your whole body seems to fall apart when you're sick? My lips have been disgustingly chapped.
Seriously though. My lips hurt real bad.
I did some internet research and found an interesting cure: lanolin cream for breastfeeding moms. I felt slightly awkward buying it, but whatever. It is working MIRACLES though! It's disgusting and waxy, but my lips feel so much better. Sidenote, I sent a pic to my breastfeeding BFF and she informed me that she has the same cream, used for very different reasons. Ew. Babies.
So there you have it. Happy Friday people!
I vote for either dress #2 or #3.
ReplyDeleteI feel more drawn to dress #2, but if you're planning on rocking it to multiple weddings I feel like dress #3 is the most versatile. You'll be able to change up the look with accessories, and since you'll be photographed it won't look cray.
