Hello everyone!  Happy Friday!

How was your week?  April is always crunch time for teachers, so it was exhausting for me!  I just know the next 2 months are going to fly by though! This weekend I'm looking forward to my mom coming to visit!  We are going to do a little shopping and some bonding time!  Yay!  

This was one of the outfits I wore while we were in Raleigh last week over my spring break.  I have to tell you, I am just in love with the city.  It didn't feel like a big city to me, but it had everything you could have ever wanted.  We stayed with a friend in the South Glenwood area which reminded me a lot of my favorite area in Columbus, the Short North.  Every night, we were able to walk to whatever restaurant we wanted to go to for dinner.  And if we didn't feel like walking, it was seriously like a $4.00 Uber ride to get anywhere we wanted.  

We ate at a lot of really great places including Cowfish Sushi + Burger Bar, The Pit, Busy Bee Cafe, and Sushi O just to name a few!  Hands down, my favorite restaurant we ate at while we were there was definitely 42nd Street Oyster Bar.  The oysters we had were delicious!  My boyfriend got me hooked on clam chowder a while ago, so I just had to try it here, too!  It was of course fantastic as well.  But, I have to tell you my favorite part of the meal was the dessert!  We had the peanut butter pie that was seriously the best dessert I've ever had.  I highly recommend this place if you are in the Raleigh are!

Another favorite place of mine was the Raleigh Beer Garden.  It has such a great setup. The whole place was 3 stories, and they had a garden/jungle theme throughout. On the first floor, they have more taps than what I've ever seen with all different kinds of Carolina beer.  On the second floor, they have just the same amount of taps, but with American beers.  The top floor is a rooftop bar with a great view!  We went there a few different nights because we loved it so much!

We also had the opportunity to go to Chapel Hill on Saturday!  This was great because UNC was playing their Final Four game that day!  It was crazy packed, so we didn't end up staying for the entire game.  But, we did get to see some of the campus, and it is gorgeous!  Seriously, I think everything in the south is gorgeous.  Not to mention the amazing weather!  

Overall, we had such a great time and can't wait to go back! Fortunately, we will be going back sooner rather than later! ;) More details to come! 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend! :)

Hello everyone!

How was your weekend?  I had a great one!  I am feeling super refreshed and ready for the week!  I had such a great time catching up with some old friends.  You know when you haven't seen someone for awhile, and then you finally see each other and you don't miss a beat?  That's how it was both Friday and Saturday nights for me!  SO great to catch up!  My parents came to visit yesterday for lunch, and it had been way too long since I had seen them as well!  I always love when they come to visit.  All of that, plus me getting a lot of rest, makes me ready for the week ahead!  :)

I really like the combo of this mustard yellow top with a jean jacket.  The colors go together so well, and the leopard pattern brings it all together! These are my favorite black distressed jeans.  They are high waisted and pretty stretchy, so they are super comfy!  Also, this Grenada Tassel Strands necklace is ON SALE for less than $30! It comes in quite a few different colors, too! 

Thanks for stopping by, and make it a great week! :)

It's Friday!

You know what I really need right now?  A trip.  To somewhere warm preferably.  Why can't I just have a private jet that I can fly wherever I want, whenever I want.  Wishful thinking.  On a more positive note, only a few more weeks until spring break!  I think my boyfriend and I are going to make a trip to Raleigh to visit a friend.  It'll be nice to get away for awhile and be in some warmer weather!  Have any of you traveled there?  Any tips or must sees for a first time visitor?

This weekend is about to be crazy busy for me!  But, I'm totally looking forward to it!  I get to meet up with a good friend tonight for the first time in years! After a fun happy hour with my coworkers that is. ;) Tomorrow I'm getting my hair done, which always puts me in a good mood!  And dinner again with a teacher I used to work with who is such a good friend.  I can't wait to catch up with both of them!  Finishing up the weekend with a visit from my parents, and hopefully some relaxing!  

I love the color purple.  This top is old, but I just had to wear these earrings.  I love the colors in them!  The thing I love about them the most is that they are so light weight!  I love wearing big, statement earrings, but a lot of them are so heavy.  Seriously, my ears start to hurt within an hour with some earrings.  And confession time...I have this weird phobia that heavy earrings are stretching out my ears.  Maybe they are, I don't know.  But that's really not something I'm going for.  So, for now I'll just continue my search for statement earrings that are lightweight! 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend! :)

Happy Wednesday! 

We are officially halfway through the week!  It's been nonstop craziness over here, and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon!  Remember when I talked about it being so windy last weekend?  Well, here come some of the pictures from it!  It's so hard to get good ones when my hair is flying straight up in the air or all over my face with every other picture.  It's really quite comical! 

I am having so much fun with mixing colors lately.  All of the bright colors just put me in a great mood!  I love pairing red and blue together, especially when it's this necklace!  Right now, it's on sale for less than $10!  And here is another super similar one that is under $15!  I guarantee you'll be able to style these necklaces a lot in the upcoming months!  On another great note, a look alike for my favorite fringe booties are on sale as well!  Make sure to check them out!

Hello everyone!

I am currently relaxing on my couch with my boyfriend drinking massive amounts of coffee.  I love getting a day off from school when we can spend it together!  Yay for an extra long weekend!  And a GREAT weekend at that!  We did a lot of driving Saturday, but it was definitely worth it!  We were able to see my boyfriend's family to celebrate Christmas a few weeks late. :)  And we celebrated one of my best friend's birthday!  Such a great time with so many of my favorite people! 

We currently have a wind chill warning here in Ohio :-/ so you can imagine how freezing it is.  This is the perfect casual outfit to throw on for a few errands (plus a thick winter jacket obvi).  I love this red sweater that I got last year, but really any color sweater would work great with this outfit!  My go to jean jacket is here, and I wear it all the time!  I am also a HUGE Converse fan.  I have been wearing these white all star chucks so much lately!  

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my best friends!  Love you girl! :) 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week! :) 

xoxo,

Amy
