This morning friendship was on my mind. I'm not sure why... but, it made me thankful for the friends I have.

i won, i won, i won!!!

I enter giveaways all the time, but I never ever win! Well, it looks as though my loosing streak has come to an end my friends. A couple of weeks ago Emma was having a most wonderful giveaway over at her blog, Emma's Music. And guess who the lucky winner was! ME!!! You have to go listen to her beautiful rendition of a song that brings a smile to my face. Actually, just hearing her voice makes me smile. If you have not yet discovered her blog, please do yourself a favor and go. You won't be disappointed!

I just purchased this dress last week. I love the crochet edge around the bottom. Isn't it dainty?! I have a shop update coming up tomorrow, so make sure to check out the new items!

love hurts

all photos found via weheartit.com

As much as I enjoy listening to a good love song, I equally enjoy the sad songs. I figure there's a enough happy love going around, with Valentine's Day comin' up. So, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite sad/break-up type songs with you all.

What is your favorite sad song? Please share!

And just so you don't think I'm a complete downer, I will be posting a love song playlist next week :D

Hope you enjoy,

it's hip to be square

blouse-thrifted/ jeans-dogpile/ sandals-thrifted/ purse-thrifted

Here is another everyday kinda outfit (for me). It was all about comfort. Baggy shirt+ skinny jeans+flat sandals= comfort.
I will be putting the purse and sandals up for sale in my shop in my next update. Both are in great condition and I will be sad to part with them, but I'm in the midst of going through my whole house and purging things that don't get used on a regular basis. This will include many things from my closet. I will probably regret this in a few months, but never the less, it must be done.

I wanted to give a heartfelt thanks to you, my lovely readers, for all the nice comments on my last post. Your encouraging words always brighten my day! So here is a song to brighten yours.

Ok, I was gonna end my post, but I have to say a few words about Huey Lewis And The News. I heard that song in the car yesterday and was dying! Actually, I've heard a ton of Huey Lewis songs lately and surprisingly, I've thoroughly enjoyed each one (I'm laughing right now at the fact that I just admitted that). He was at the Orange County Fair last summer on the day we went. If I hadn't had the kids with me, I would have totally gone! I bet it was awesome. They had so many hits I had forgotten about that rule! And Huey really is the epitome of the 80s man. The blazers, hairy chest, fluffy hair... you get the idea. Anyway, there is no way that video could not bring a smile to your face. hehehe that was fun :D

disneyland

We went to Disneyland on Saturday. We hadn't been in about 5 years, so it was pretty darn fun! These are just a few of the pictures I took of our day. I love the last one because of my daughter's gigantic smile. She really was that excited :D

How was your weekend? Do anything fun?

I just realized I haven't done any outfit posts in a while. My next one will be just that. I have some great new things that I can't wait to share with you all.
